There is no more time!
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 03:26 PM by skooooo
Did anyone hear on Wolfe Blitzer this morning, one of the reporters said that Obama has bought out all the existing advertising time available with his money. No states were specified, just that if McCain was going to get any more air time, Obama will have to give up what he's already paid for.

Did anyone else hear this? If it's true, it's completely astounding. I've never heard of such a thing.

1. Even if it is true, Obama can't buy off the corporate controlled SnewZ and CONmentators

3. I doubt the accuracy of this statement
While he may be technically correct(it would not surprise me, given the Obama campaigns strategic vision) I guarantee that some friendly corp would be happy to withdraw their adverts just in time to give the space to McP. So I sincerely doubt he is locked out in any meaningful way.

4. McAin't Gets Loads of FREE Airtime on the "News" Though
If McAin't gives a speech, they broadcast the whole thing.
If Obama has a rally with 100,000 people they barely mention it.
