HOLY CARP- oBAMA AD ON NOW IN FLORIDA !!! THASSA NO-NO

[kelligesq]

REal agreement keeper this guy is.

All bets are off now that he is advertising in Florida.

All dem candidates agreed not to - and here he is !! right on CNN during Lou Dobbs 7:16 PM EST

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Holy Carp?

[Sparkly]

3. rofl

:rofl:

[Honeycombe8]

I think he means HOLY FLOUNDER! nt

[Little Star]

54. This thread smells fishy!

[DJ13]

6. Yep

[Sparkly]

11. !!

:spray: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[kelligesq]

23. great pic - lololololo n/t

:)

[havocmom]

9. Yes. Fish now have ecumenical leaders.

Pass the tarter sauce, please. Me and a new bishop are having a dinner meeting.

[ccpup]

2. yep, he broke the rules

Desperation will do that to a campaign. Of course, the Clinton Camp has now said they'll start running ads. He still has a huge margin to make up, but this decision by his campaign was stunningly bone-headed in a week of bone-headed decisions.

[thunder rising]

4. Borrowing from Platoon, "Damn you dumb."

[FrenchieCat]

5. CNN is a Florida station?

Who Knew? :wow:

[LittleClarkie]

10. Indeed. And they sought the counsel of one of the people who proposed the pledge

in the first place. She saw no problem with it, hence I'd say they acted in good faith.

But what do I know, what with being an shill and all.

[Little Star]

16. So he knows how to use the back door to do what he said he

would not. Great integrity. I did see some hope in there though. He hoped he could pull it off.

[LittleClarkie]

22. It was a national ad on a national cable channel not directed at Florida specifically

and he asked if it would be okay, and was told it would be.

If one of the originators of the pledge was cool with it, why all the hubbub?

[Little Star]

41. If it was so okey dokey why did he ask permission? He hoped

to be able to slide it in under the radar of Edwards and Clinton. Now it has backfired in his face and he's angry. To bad.

[LittleClarkie]

43. That doesn't make sense. He asked to make sure it was okay.

And if he was going to slide it through, why even bother to ask?

[MediaBabe]

49. Several people make a promise - one backs out

All the Demo candidates made a pledge. One cannot just pull out and run away laughing. That's a broken promise and a person who can't keep their word is a person we should be thinking twice about before putting in the White House.

Hasn't George Bush taught us that much?

[LittleClarkie]

50. Even if his campaign asked one of the people who came upwith the pledge

if she thought this violated this pledge, and she said no? If she didn't have a problem with it, I don't understand what the hubbub is?

[Little Star]

52. He knew the other two were mislead and he tried to get slimy.

It back fired.

[Samantha]

56. He DID NOT break a promise - he went to the contractual party

and asked if this was within the rules. He obtained the contacting party's acquiescence. Why is this song still being played here?

[Jim Sagle]

40. The Audacity of Crock

[Little Star]

12. Seems Edwards and Clinton knew it was a bad move. He started it and now

alls fair.

[RockaFowler]

7. Where are you located??

Here in Palm Beach/Martin/St Lucie he is not on the air.
It may also be a CNN commercial

[kelligesq]

20. Palm beach county- CNN Lou Dobbs comcast channel 40

I already gave the time of the ad in the header,
it was during lou dobbs

you cant get an ad on in one day...this must have been planned or put in at least a month ago

[RockaFowler]

25. This is not necessarily true

If he bought the ad last week, it could be on this week. WE usually have a 1-2 day lag time for sots to air on local stations. I work at a local station and we received spots on Friday for McCain, Romney & Guiliani. They all started today.

This particular spot looks like it was a National ad. Not something that could be shown in just Florida. Because it was on my TV as well and I have DirecTV!!!

[karynnj]

38. I saw it in NJ

[usregimechange]

44. CNN is a national station, no story here...

[HughMoran]

8. carpa darpa flarpa darp?

Hey, take your time, use the spell checker - there's plenty of time to post!

[kelligesq]

27. afear'd to write

CRAP in a header...big brother always watching - I started a thread saying
Is Obama a republican or democrat and it was locked.....so CARP

furthermore methinks oBama aka Barry is a plick....

[HughMoran]

30. You can say FUCK, you just can't say REPUBLICAN when referring to our

possible candidate. That's why it was locked.

[K Gardner]

13. If you try real hard, you might be able to reach 1000 posts by doing only negative Obama spamming..

might want to turn off the caps lock, tho. And try posting some links or articles rather than one-liner opinion pieces and empty rhetoric with name-calling. So glad you could help us out this primary season at DU by elevating the discourse here.

[CyberPieHole]

28. Actually, one doesn't hate to "try real hard" at all...Obama has made himself a target of negativity

Saying one thing one day and doing the opposite the next. I think it would be difficult to post anything positive about Obama. A few weeks ago I would have said "Obama is a Democrat" as something positive...but after Obama kissed the shriveled dead butt of Ronald Reagan...I am no longer so sure about that.

[emilyg]

32. Yep.

[kelligesq]

48. ROFL

:rofl:

[LittleClarkie]

14. Thank you Jar Jar Binks

.

[boston bean]

15. Jesus Trout! Who the hell does he think he is! nt

[Orangepeel]

17. good citizens check for dupes

there must be 20 threads on this already

[sunonmars]

18. Now if I was Hillary

Leave SC to Bill and Chelsea and get my ass down to Florida tomorrow, now the pledge is off.

Florida is going to be a big fish, don't kid yourself.

[Perky]

19. He is not advertising in Florida. If he buys on CNN....It shows up whererver CNN goes..

[ronnykmarshall]

21. That's a lot of carp!

[Alexander]

24. CNN is based in Florida now?

Funny, I could've sworn I was in their national headquarters in Atlanta at one point.

I guess that doesn't exist, because it isn't convenient for the Hillbots.

[aaronbees]

26. carps thank you for your concern

[babylonsister]

29. He was told it was legal:

what an Obama spokesman said:

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/clinton-says-obamas...

snip//

In a brief statement, Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the campaign consulted with South Carolina Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler, one of the initiators of the pledge, who “told us unequivocally she did not consider this to be in violation of {a} pledge made to the early states.”

“Both national cable networks told us it would be impossible for us to run advertising nationally that excluded only Florida,” Burton said.

[flpoljunkie]

31. Thanks for clearing that up, babylonsister. A smart move on Obama's behalf, as well.

Hence, the whining from the Clinton campaign.

[ronnykmarshall]

46. Oh blow it out your bass!

[HughMoran]

37. Somehow that doesn't seem to settle it for me

He may have unintentionally (or not) opened the door for campaigning there.

[ronnykmarshall]

47. I think people just need to clam up about this!

[matcom]

33. CONGRATULATIONS!

you win Matcom's idiot of the day award!

[Honeycombe8]

34. I am seeing it here in Texas, too. It's CNN, I think. National...not FL.

I'm sure he would rather not waste his money here in TX, where the primary isn't until March, long after the nomination will have been decided.

Looks like a national ad.

[karynnj]

35. that was a nationwide ad - it was in Nj too.

[Cha]

36. You're full of

carp..but you knew that.

[polichick]

39. Is that why he doesn't mention that he's a Dem in the ad?? nt

[Jim Sagle]

45. No that's not the reason. The reason he doesn't mention that he's a Dem is that he's a Republican.

[ronnykmarshall]

42. He's going after the guppy vote!

[Califooyah Operative]

51. haha. nt

[TheWebHead]

53. he had a national ad buy

ahead of super tuesday, where national buys are logical. we all saw the ad today, not just you in florida. give it a rest.

[CelloPaddy]

55. You are not informed I'm afraid. He ok'd this with everybody nt

[jazzjunkysue]

57. Scaling the heights of political gill. Guile. Gullible. Will. Never mind.
