Can someone tell me why Barack's paid political message next Wednesday won't air on ABC?

Someone may have explained this and I missed it. It's on NBC, CBS and Fox, but no ABC. It's even delaying the start of a World Series game on Fox by a half-hour (well, at least folks in Philly and its suburbs (where McCain thinks he can change minds) will be watching it, waiting for the game to come on).

But why no ABC?

1. probably re-running "Path to 9/11" that night

13. LOL! Thanks for the reminder.

I'm glad they were left out. The "debate" that they had attacking Obama back during the primaries was enough for me.

2. Last I heard they were still in conversation

but maybe it crapped out due to some bogus excuse.

3. Maybe Obama remembers that where's your Flag Pin..Does your pastor Love America debate?

If so, Good.

Actually, I don't know why.

12. Well, I sure do. They lost a family of long-time viewers that night.

6. Actually (though I know U R joshing) Pushing Daisies is what's scheduled in that slot that night.

Now, I love me some Pushing Daisies, but HEY!

11. My wife and I love that show too.

But, as you said... more important things to watch that night.

:P

5. $$$, probably think they can get more from counter-programming than what Obama has to offer

7. I think he only bought time on three networks

Isn't that what was said when the announcement was made?

9. ABC and Disney are connected

Fairly right-leaning, IIRC. Correct me if I'm wrong, somebody? :)

10. I think that's an Obama decision

ABC was excluded from the presidential debates too.
