MTP: Obama has bought up all available advertising time slots?

[npincus]

I didn't catch which states...

[Justice]

1. I heard that too - it was a general statement - everywhere. Amazing.

[alwysdrunk]

2. That is incredible

It's starting to be like an embarrassment of riches.

[drm604]

3. What?

All slots? Everywhere? Every advertising slot on every network from now till the election? That's very hard to believe. Was the statement qualified at all?

[LiberalFighter]

4. Was that the statement? Or was it...

All available advertising time slots have been bought up and don't know where McCain could make his buys. The gist of what I thought I heard.

[onenote]

5. under the equal opportunities rules, the station will have to find time for McCain

assuming he has the money to buy it, which he probably doesn't

[casus belli]

10. He doesn't so...

I guess his campaign will just have to settle for a 20 second "Obama loves terrorists" rebuttal.

[chalky]

12. The equal opportunity rules....

Doesn't this tie in to the Fairness Doctrine, which the Republicans destroyed?
If so, the irony is delicious.

[Stagecoach]

6. I wonder

If they didn't mean the Democratic Party as a whole has bought all the remaining slots. Because some of these people in Senate races like Franken and Hagan are going to need some of those slots to close the deal.

7. Surely it can't be all of them, maybe they mean in some swing states?

8. We just had a McCain ad here in N. Florida n/t

[Higher Standard]

14. You should still see McCain ads

It just sounds like any previously unbought spots have been taken by Obama. Which means that whatever spots McCain already had are all he's going to have in those swing states.

9. He should sponsor the 1st game of the World Series

Imagine an outfield wall that is covered in "Obama" signs.
I even know who could throw out the first pitch

[quantass]

11. Yup i read that last week...He bought ALL of It (in swing states). lol!

[TheCoxwain]

13. John McCain can buy 1 hour on the QVC and 1-800-Call-NOW channels

:rofl:
