But when Obama releases one all we get is stories about feet washed up on beaches?

Or even worse they just begin playing McCains older attack ads over and over again for free?

This is some fucked up shit.

1. McCain doesn't need much
advertisement money does he. M$M is so obviously in his pocket.

2. It not only seems like it, that's precisely what's happening. The
m$m is carrying his water, same as it ever was. Saving him piles of dough, too.

7. perk of being on the offense
once high-profile people speak out in defense of Obama (or he speaks out himself), it becomes news. It is intentional, and unfortunately successful strategy for McCain, and it worked similarly for Hillary with her 3am ad.
