According to this report from Bloomberg news, Obama has outspent McCain to a ridiculous portion.
To which I say...how the fuck can this be?!?! That said, all I mostly see in this market are negative ads from McCain, and a few puff ads from Obama.
This is the core of the problem. Obama talks sweet, he's cute...he's lovely...he wants to run a "different kind of campaign"...well, congrats you jackass...to paraphrase Dubya, "You're doin' a heckuvah job Obama."
Negative ads work...how many times must Liberals be smashed over the bleeping head to get this simple message.
John Kerry didn't get it until it was too late, and it appears Obama isn't getting it either.
Negative ads are smarmy, crass, rude, nasty, un-American...but dammit, they have been proven election cycle after election cycle to work and work VERY well.
THIS is exactly why many of us were supporters of Hillary. She could take a hay-maker, and she could throw one right back.
McCain has spent scant money on negative ads that were inflammatory, un-American, and have been full of utter lies. But, by doing so, McCain has torn down Obama and gotten free advertising on primetime political shows because they are so inflammatory.
No matter how many times Campbell Brown, Brian Williams, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, or even a FoxSnooze person say these ads are PATENTLY bullshit...white-bred America will naturally assume they are just another part of the liberal media and will believe and take hold of un-challenged accusations.
Congrats Obama. You have wasted $57 million dollars on cute, little, puff pieces that did NOTHING. Hope you start swinging the proverbial bat like a mother-fucker.
For if you don't...it will be Kerry all over again. And this SLAM DUNK of an election that should have been, will MURDER the Democratic party as it stands, and it will set back civil rights/liberties for a century (via the inevitable right-wing nut-jobs McCain will appoint to the Supreme Court to give the Republican base more appeasement).
You wanted the future of our country in your hands Obama...you now have it. The future is up to you...it's all up to you.
I plead you: Start getting nasty, and do it quick.

Deborah-I hate the money as well, and in previous posts I've argued for mandatory debates, and giving each candidate a finite amount of money to spend and ending those 527 ads. But, negative campaigning does work and it's a necessary evil until we get the system cleaned up.
Btw-Just finishing up season two of x-files...great stuff!

Awww.. a new fan ... does not take much to get hooked! I won't tell you what I paid for Seasons 1 and 2 when they were initially released. :)
