Obama Buys Up 30 Minutes of Prime Time
Barack Obama plans to go on air for 30 minutes six days before the general election.
(FOX)
Barack Obama plans to air a 30-minute commercial just six days before Election Day, in what would be one of the largest ad buys in election history.
The Obama campaign confirmed that it has purchased the half-hour block of time on CBS, and is negotiating with other networks, so it can air a prime-time special at 8 p.m. ET on Oct. 29.
Obama and John McCain both spent millions to advertise during the Summer Olympics. But McCain’s purse strings have tightened since he transitioned to public financing, which limited his campaign to $84 million in the final two months of the race.
Obama, on the other hand, rejected public funding and has been far outspending McCain in advertising. He has also been airing commercials of up to two minutes in length.
Ross Perot famously aired a 30-minute ad during his independent presidential campaign in 1992, attracting 16.5 million viewers.

Are they serious? 16.2 MILLION viewers. I don’t know anyone who want’s to watch Obama for more than 5 minuets let alone 30. Or anyone who watches those damn infomercials.
October 9th, 2008 at 5:28 pmI heard Obama is outspending McCain 5 to 1.
October 9th, 2008 at 5:35 pmAND TELL ‘EM BARRY OBAMA SENT YA!!!
October 9th, 2008 at 6:08 pmWill the whole thing be scripted or will there be a lot of, “ah, uh, ummm”?
It became clear he’s not interested in actual conversation during the debates.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:11 pmwhere is he getting all of his money? the william ayers connection is nothing in my opinion to what they would find if they were allowed to access to donor identities. the guy already had to return 36 thousand dollars from Palestinians in the west bank. this guy is shady as hell and they need to file a lawsuit to get ahold of those records
October 9th, 2008 at 6:32 pmBarry The Liar can talk all he wants. He’s “just speeches” and “just words” anyways. Only the kool-aid drinkers will buy his carnival barking. Much as in the case of Algoricisms, PT Barnum lives. So I’ll just stick to my “guns” and Bible. LOL
October 9th, 2008 at 6:42 pmI can guaran-fuckin-tee you I won’t be watching. So he is wasting his and his middle eastern buddies money.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:43 pmAfter he’s elected he will be on ALL channels; ALL the time; 24/7. O-TV Change you can count on!
October 9th, 2008 at 7:01 pmYou hit the nail on the head.
I was going to say; “That is what $200M from terrorists buys ya!”
October 9th, 2008 at 7:04 pmThis doesn’t surprise me seeing since he has a dedicated cable channel that spews nothing but the great messiah’s untruths.
The one thing I was very disturbed about this evening though was that while watching several shows on the Military Channel about every other commercial was an Obama campaign spot.
WTF is up with that?! I wonder what person in charge of selling advertising time on the Military Channel is responsible for that gaf!

He knows the military hates him, so he is airing lots of ads to try to turn the tide 
October 10th, 2008 at 4:12 amYup, I was about ready to puke - I am a Military Channel junkie, so seeing all of the Obamination ads was enough to make me want to have a shoot the TV moment.
obama’s doing his part to save television by wasting millions of his donor’s hard earned dollars. seems like you could do better good with all that money
October 10th, 2008 at 4:37 amI bet the msm will donate the time for sat com antenna head.
