Zero McCain ads in Florida.. is the fix in? (again)
Or is he planning on picking the FL Gov. Charlie Crist as his VP so he is saving his money for ads after the announcement?


Thoughts?

1. They'll definitely do what they can to fix that outcome...
Already, they've purged the rolls, announced that new registrations will be thrown out if the info doesn't match other info already in their files, and that there won't be a full recount if there's a problem.

2. No, but I think Florida is 'lean-McCain'.
If it tightens, look for McCain to throw money there.

4. It depends on the poll.
I don't know what the McCain campaign is doing, unless they think they can do an ad blitz later on. Since it's not a "toss-up" right now, I think they're focusing on states they NEED to win and might not be winning or are essentially tied (PA, Ohio, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico).

5. I've seen several McLame ads here in Loxahatchee FL
He has been running the celebrity attack ad and a similar version of the same ad during the olympic covarage. I've seen it too many times to think that he is not spending some money on ads here. Well at least someone or somebody must be paying for them. Obama's non attack ad rocks though.

11. I don`t have cable so I don`t get Hardball. But I have seen McCriminal`s
Ads on more channels than just NBC. I could have sworn I saw some during local newstimes also. But I may be mistaken. One thing I do believe is that even though I don`t have cable I have watched Hardball in the past and I would not take anything they say as "truth" unless I knew it to be true.
McCriminal will probably be able to steal Florida anyway. But I really hate seeing that warmongers face and hearing his fascist voice.

8. Florida's been rigged for the past 8 years. We should forget about it.
I can't imagine how DUers who are convinced Florida was rigged in 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006 now all of a sudden claim we can win there.

As if the vote-rigging magically stopped or something. :eyes:

12. They are running the Celeb ad in Florida and another version
of the same ad. When McCriminal steals Florida at least he will be able to say he ran ads in our state.
