When are we going to see some attack ads from Obama
they could do 15 or 20 different spots on Palin's ethics, McCain's lies, the morals of both of them. What are they afraid of? Use words like liar, corrupt, pork barrel, bordello office, etc.

1. Do you live in a swing state? If not you aren't gonna see much. But, attack ads are out there.

2. Wow, have you missed the ads that have been posted here?
I haven't seen any of them on air but I live in California so I don't expect to see any.

6. (facepalm)
You fucking fail.

"Let's not equivocate too much here. Over the course of the past several days, there has been a rather dramatic shift in this election toward Barack Obama. Our trendline estimate, which is engineered to be fairly conservative, registers the swing as equaling roughly 4 points over the course of the past week.

Changes of this velocity are unusual outside of the convention periods and the debates, especially in close elections. It took John McCain about 60 days and tens of millions of advertising dollars to whittle Obama's lead down from roughly 5 points at its peak in early June, to the 1-point lead that Obama held heading into the conventions. Obama has swing the numbers that much in barely a week.

Of course, we never really were entirely outside of gravitational field of the conventions, and probably at least half of this bounceback for Obama is merely the more-or-less inevitable consequence of McCain's convention bounce ending. But the fact is that Obama is in a stronger position now than he was immediately before the conventions. We now have him winning the election 71.5 percent of the time, which is about as high as that number has been all year."

8. Go here
http://www.youtube.com/user/BarackObamadotcom

And see all the ads that are running around the country. They are up to running 2 - 3 different Obama commercials (rotating every hour), both on TV and radio here in Philly.

10. You mean you want to see MORE attack ads?
Check in to this website more often. And other sites, to keep in better touch with Obama campaign and 527 activities.

12. Y'know, Obama just isn't being aggressive enough in Arizona. We're doomed.
Really. Note my panic. Doomed. I tell you.

Oh.

No.
