McCain Ran 1,304 Ads Day Campaign "Suspended"

Chicago Tribune:

Turns out John McCain never did quite "suspend" his campaign during negotiations over the federal bailout plan, at least on television.

Tucked into a new report today on the campaign air wars from the Wisconsin Advertising Project is this factoid:

"The McCain campaign cut back on its television advertising in the days following McCain's announcement that he was suspending his campaign to focus on the economy. On September 24, his campaign aired 2,447 ads and on Sept. 25, it aired 1,304 ads. From September 26-28, McCain aired 302, 670, and 852 ads respectively. On September 29, the campaign returned to previous advertising levels, airing 2,687 ads."

After the second debate McCain passed the nerves! In recent interviews about debates it appear that he does not believe in their victory - http://tinyurl.com/45dhuw!!
Highly recommended!

Why does MSM not nail McCain on this suspended campain thing? He wasn't any more off the trail than he is on any other day. He went to Washington and sat down with Obama and others with Bush and sat there. Sat there and then sat there some more as he had nothing to say/add of value. That he went to DC was a forced issue as he would have not gone had he had any other choice. But the suspend lie is one that MSM should shut down.

McCain exaggerates so often that it is old news to reporters so they just let him blab on. He manages to make himself look so stupid all on his own.

Well, duh. You can't call thousands of media outlets and tell them to chuck the time slot you paid for and they scheduled weeks ago in less than 24 hours, and just run 30 seconds of dead air or whatnot. You'll get laughed at. You'd think that somebody who was at the top of a major party ticket would know that. Short version: he didn't have the capability of "suspending" his campaign to begin with.

[Chillinout]

Just more lies.

Anyone surprised?

[PioneerKing]

WHO IS SURPRISED THAT MCCAIN HAS BEEN CAUGHT IN ANOTHER LIE?

Anytime McCain's uttering a sound you can count on 99% of what he is saying is a lie.

[AnalyzeIT]

The Lier - he even stated last night iDURING the debates that he had cancelled his campaign - although we knew he had not.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008

PALIN ECONOMICS: Corruption with a wink

By E. James Rosenthal

See how she will govern America

This should be required reading for ALL voters.

Since the past is the best indicator of how Gov. Palin will lead, anyone considering voting for Sarah will find this fact based account of her Alaskan civil service quite eye opening.

Anyone not considering voting for Gov. Palin will see just how dark things can get if we do not work our tails off for Senator Obama, right up to election day.

God be with us as these campaigns draw to a close!

Mudflats is an excellent site to see real info from her home state. Not the media printed or stated in the lower 48. The people posting on Mudflats -- very nice, down to earth, hardworking, knowledgable people. In fact, much more highly intellectual than Palin. They are not the 'folksy' picture she paints. Another of her flawed character traits. I have found it a site well worth reading -- articles & comments.

McSame old lies. At this point McSame has nothing to lose so he will do and say anything to win. He is not honorable, not credible and not presidential. He is not even himself anymore. This is truly a sad state of affairs and just more of the same old Bush/Cheney/Rove politics.

[meede]

Like we are surprised to hear that. We knew his suspending campaign was moose crap. Remember, McCain still uses an Abacus and therefore thinks we can't find things out or figure things out!!!!

what a lying blowhard he is
