CNN

Just heard a story on the news that the Republican holdouts on the bailout deal in the house want more government DEREGULATION and more TAX BREAKS FOR CORPORATIONS, as part of this agreement, which consists of a single page (their plan, that is).

Isn't there something wrong with this picture???

Imagine if Mitt Romney was the Republican nominee......he'd have spend the other half of his fortune.

I think I'll take what's left of my retirement and pension, stuff it into an old sock and bury in the backyard.

OBAMA*BIDEN!!

If ever there was a reason to invite socialism into an area of government; it would be campaign finance.
Every candidate on equal financial footing would put the emphasis on the leadership, character, experience and other relevant content that would matter to the electorate. In other words, "The Cream Would Rise To The Top".

Obama is the worst candidate in recent memory. And I'm a Dem.

I guess democracy is expensive!

This is crazy! I am saddened that the media decided to run this story. The economy is so bad right now – is it affecting the candidates or the media. I think that would be a good newstory for us to hear how it is affecting them personally. I am so turned off by the election at this point. Although I am a democrat, I was so impressed with McCain's leadership by going to Washington and proposed that the debate not take place tonight. This leadership had impressed me and I might consider looking at him and the Republican party more and would consider voting for him.

Vote the guy with one house.

GO OBAMA!

Maggie, good point. Did you realize Obama initially supported the idea of public financing and then changed his mind when he figured he could get and spend a lot more.

These guys are creating their own economy. A tribute to the revitalization of the U.S. of A

ONE NATION

This is really a waste of money. There are alot of homeless people who surely could have made use of this money and also people who are losing their homes in foreclosures. This presidential election is too long and drawnout and there should be a cap set on the amount of money that can be spent in advertising. I hope by the time the next elections come around in 4 years time there is a change made to stop all this wasteful spending on campaign advertising. So much money does not have to be spent for us to be able to chose our president. COME ON AMERICANS LETS STOP ALL THIS WASTE BECAUSE THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT NEED FINANCIAL AID AND THIS MONEY COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO HELP THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Presidents can't "fix" economies. As an independent voter, I must chose between one party that has presented an inexperienced presidential candidate and the other party that has presented an inexperienced vice-presidential candidate. However, I am pro-national security/defense and pro-public safety. Biden may tip the scale for me. During his acceptance speech, he said he would put several brigades into Afghanistan and war ships near Georgia. I know the far-left had a collective heart-attack when he said this, put I had a sigh of relief. "Real-politik" is the way to survive in this world and I am sure our money will be well spent on the military if Biden becomes VP. Obama will take the back seat, as he should, just like Bush did to Chaney.

I keep forgeting CNN are so full of their crap...Why try? The USA.. United Stupid. (None), Available... Super Power!?
The EEC.. have now moved into your. Ignoramous stupidity...
Be a leader! or be just another Iran..

It is so clear that very few Obama supporters really know anything about the issues – ignorant, just like their candidate and just like their party.

My question to Sens. Obama and McCain: Given that Ernest Borgnine is a genius, would you rather appoint him to the Supreme Court or a high level Cabinet position?

That one billion dollars will do more for the economy that the 700B give away will ever do. The dems think GW is the biggest idiot to grace the white but when he proposes this hair brain idea the dems go ga ga? I thought they didn't want four more years, does that mean we should vote conservative republican? Just goes to show the dems believe any problem can be solved by throwing other poeples money at it!! MY MONEY!!!

Dodd and Obama – #1 and #2 in terms of contributions received from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae – enough said.

...and how many of you checked the $3 box for for the Presidential Election Fund on your taxes this year?

Yeah, I thought so...

Is this only a problem when the dems have more cash..
Anyway . I think obama and the teame around him are best suited to handle the economy
And in international affairs cause hes more thoughtfull and safe . . I respect mccain . But 8 years is enough and plenty

Obama?!?! I thought we were in America?

How obscene. American politics is disgusting. Go feed some hungry people with all that freaking money. I'll be voting, but again, that's just disgusting.

Americans are finally finding out what is really important. They've lost their life savings, retirements, and pensions, but at least the abortion issue has been put on the back burner.

GO OBAMA!

Yes, you are

Amazing how much money, time, and energy is spent trying to one up each other... But, money can buy many things, it made Bush seem like a nice guy you'd want to have a beer with. LOL, see how that turned out.

McCain is too old. Were some of you not around for Reagan's second term? McCain can't even remember how many houses he owns. How can he keep all the foreign policy and domestic issues straight? Not up to the task.

Larry CA
By maximum benefits from Freddie Mac are you talking about ones
like McCain's campaign manager was receiving ($15,000 a month)
as recently as August 2008?

Over two hundred years ago, our first President, George Washington expressed concerns over excessive party spirit. In reading the e-mails in this chain, with all of the bashing of Obama/Biden/McCain/Palin, it's not difficult to see why this country, as great as it is, is in the state that it's in. I have no hardline affiliation to either political party – I just want someone that's going to do what's right, regardless of political affiliations...

That much $$ wasted by McCain advertsing nothing but falsehoods and lies. Typical Republican spending!

The best joke of the year: Obama.

The absence of any rushed bailout should take the wind out of McCain's apocalyptic sails. The Senator was pretty clear that he doesn't think the economy has any issues even though Bernanke blew the horn in Jerusalem.

I would hope McCain,72, will retire now.

When it's time to debate Joe Biden, Sarah will bring her talking points on cue cards.

Americans are finally finding out what is important. They have to lost their life savings, retirement and pensions, but at least the abortion issue has taken a back burner.

Dear Kate:

Obama's black, buy a clue. He has done a great job with our money, and his supporters couldnt' ask any more of him.

Obama/Biden 08

The Republicans have the lobbyists who helped get us where we are today working on the bailout plan. I hope the taxpayers don't fall for these guys again.

McCain:
What does being a maverick mean to you, and how exactly will you change things in Washington?

Did you steal Obama's theme?

Obama:
What does change mean to you, and how will you make a difference in Washington?

Chris Rock is saying that we need to vote for the candidate who has oen house but he has robbed it with special help from Tony Rezko. Barack has underhand deals and American people are n9ot well-informed by the media including CNN. CNN wants to support Barack so better make Barack News Network. Barack has obtained maximum benefit from fannie Mae and Freddie Mack. CNN does not want to publish it.

The people who think 5-15% of their salary will pay for all their medical bills are the people that end up bankrupt at the first medical emergency. Then we all have to PAY for THEM. Dupes and fools abound.

Vote for the guy with one house.

Think of all the good things someone could do with that $$. Really sad that our country has gone that way. Maybe the Iranian president is right that the American empire is on its way out.

Too little, too late. Eight (8) years has taken it's toll.

I feel sorry for our grandchildren. They'll never experience what the United States once was. The mighty have fallen.

The Market has been doing fine the last couple of days with the promise of an impending resolution. Why not hold off on this resolution and see how this plays out? No need to rush just yet. And why is it ok for Republicans to bail out Wall Street but not our public healthcare system? They can regulate the Economy but not Healthcare? Huh?

I'm a poor woman and don't have much to spare, but it just crossed my mind that I could sell smth on E-Bay (no, not an airplane,LOL) to give to Obama's campaign. It could be my best investment ever! GOD help us all! may Obama win!

Maybe someone should donate a few dollars to George O'bama.

I love Sarah Palin. I can't wait to see her seated above Nancy Pelosi cracking the whip and telling these Democratic thugs to start getting things done.

Best Case scenerio: 269 tie – Congress ties because Liebermann votes for McCain – Dick Cheney ends up with the vote – McCain wins!

Utterly, fantasticly, awesome!!!!!

McCain/Palin -08

When it's time to debate Joe Biden, Sarah will call in sick.

What a mess the Republican ticket has become.

@DR in Los Angeles-

Thanks for supporting RAISING MY TAXES! YES! GO TAXES GO!

Hope you can afford 5-15%. It may not happen in 2009, but with a Democrat controlled congress, the tax bills and special interest funds will be FLYING through the house and senate and signed into law.

Can't wait for you to wake up one morning, not get your raise or bonus at work, then file on April 15th to pay that extra 5-15% of your paycheck.

WOOOHOOO! THANKS!

First time I've donated to a political campaign and I'm proud to have contributed to our next president of the United States of America!!

GO OBAMA!!! Obama in '08!

No matter how we got here, that is disgusting. I say give the ad money to the bailout plan and you don't have to worry about paying me back.

And McCain tried to wreck the economy by suspending his campaign! He's got $84 million in taxpayer money, McCain does, to spend on advertising, signs, and other non-union items (since he's Republican). How dare him hoard money at a time when more fluidity in the market is needed. Country first? Ha! It's all about the Drama Queen McCane.

Call me selfish, but I would rather KEEP 5-15% of my OWN hard earned paycheck and use that cash to pay for my OWN family's medical needs, my ailing parents, my children's college education.

I do NOT want 5-15% of my paycheck to go to illegal immigrants, to people living on welfare, to anyone looking for a government handout.

Why you would vote for a Democrat President with a Democrat controlled congress is beyond comprehension. The tax bills will be FLYING through the house and senate. Not to mention trickling down to the state and local levels. Imagine paying 5% more state tax, and then on top of that 10% more federal income tax! Doesn't sound like much, but if you make 100k a year, that is 15,000 dollars POOF! Gone to pay for illegal immigrants, welfare recipients, people who freeload off the government. If you make 50k a year, that is $7,500!!!! Imagine saving $7,500 per year for your kids college education. Imagine trying to save WITHOUT that extra $7,500 (pre tax of course).

To fight those republican demons and their constant lies, Obama will need a billion more.

That money wasted on Obama might of helped a few homeowners.

Amerika,
McCain and Palin has LIED on Obama for WEEKS and you have the nerve to say Obama is a vitriolic brand of division- a self-righteous attitude raising self up by degrading others. You are as blind sighted as Palin when she give her so called interviews (AIRHEADS). If anyone has caused a division in the election, it’s MCCAIN and camp. Not only has he and his camp caused racial division, but they have also cause woman to fight against woman. Get your facts straight. The truth is RIGHT their in the blogs you comment on, with facts BUT you choose to see only his color and NOT his successful and Presidential campaign unlike McCain and Camp.

Since Palin believes everything is God's Will, maybe she can accept that God is trying to expose her quickly to protect us all before it is too late. And we all know why McCain picked a woman, he was losing then, and numbers are going down again; what else could he pull out of his hat? Hillary Clinton may help.

FACT is: McCain took 84 million tax payer dollars to sponsor his campaign. Obama was entitled to do the same, by law, but he said NO. 84 million might not seem much in the context of 700 billion bail-out, but still...Mccain acted as if he was the poor guy...needed tax payer help. What i say IS A FACT, I would never make things up. Go check for yourselves!

@Ellie, Boyds MD

Um, no, YOU WILL GET SCREWED by the Democrats because this bailout plan will JACK up your taxes. You should be thanking McCain for bringing Republican representation to the table so that Ellie, Boyds MD doesn't have to tack on an extra 3% of her paycheck every year just to bail out Wall Street.

Democrats will raise taxes on you so fast. Go ahead, pay for old people, children, freeloaders, illegal immigrants....do your part to pay for those slackers and take away 3% of your salary to help your own family, your own loved ones medical bills, your own children's future.

DUH!!!!!

Hear, hear! I, too, cringe every time Sarah Palin opens her mouth and I'm not even a Republican. Actually, I feel sorry for her.

What mccain judgement on picking palin?

If Sarah Palin is so bad...why do you people spend so much time worrying about her...she and Obama are on the same level sad to say..he can just read his prepared speeches better. If its experiance you all want, then Hillary, Biden and McCain are the ones to worry about. Democrats had a true winner in Clinton and they threw it away. Now we have a race to close to call and a nominee that many democrats don't even like.

I think some people are realizing that Mrs. Palin candidacy has been seriously compromised with trooper gate, pregnant daughter and other pending issues.

If McCain wanted a right wing Christian, he should of picked former Gov. Mike Huckabee, who also is an evangelical scholar, as his running mate.

In my view, McCain,72, should retire now.

This amount of money is obscene and disgusting. The guy with the most money wins. Wow. This is the mentality of Americans. This is how we vote for a president? Not the best person but the one with the most bucks? Ridiculous.

It's time to stop this nonsense, limit the time a candidate can campaign and limit the money. This is a waste of money. It tells a lot about individuals and corporations in this country that they throw money away at a politician but won't help with education, the elderly, soaring health care costs, etc.

There's hope for Sarah. She should do what Princess Di did. Hire a speech writer and public relations person. Have someone teach her how to speak properly and how to answer questions succinctly.

Also, no hand holding with foreign dignataries. Just shake their hand, look into the camera for a photo and remove your hand.

Lastly call a former VP that's unbias. Oh wait, she'll have to go all the way back to Nelson Rockerfeller. He's the only VP who didn't have anything to do with George W. Bush.

My advice to be nice.

no offense but even I can come up with something better to do with 700b dollars than these idiots came up with

That's a lot of money of money to spend on buying the right to choose whether you tell the entire American public LIES or the TRUTH. I wonder whose getting their money's worth.

Are we?

This is awful–this goes on way too long. This seems like its been years.. The money is wasted .It should be used on the taxpayers–we should all stop donating to them , then this will come to a halt .
And speaking of McCain has he had a stroke or is he really just that stupid

So?

Obama is anathema for America! If you hate America, vote for Obama!

AMERICA WILL BE SCREWED BY THE "DO NOTHING" REPUBLICANS IN THIS BAIL OUT PLAN!!

and and vote smart!

then we won't have to waste this much time and money ever again!

OKAY... maybe we should use that money to pay towards the Bail Out Plan!1 That would leave what $600 more?

lol.... mcain needs to retire for his own sake he has no business taking on so much stress

Well atleast someone is making money....

LOL, John left Sarah in Philly under lock and key. Her instructions was don't speak to strangers or reporters. Don't speak at all. Any time Katie Couric and make her sweat, you know she's in trouble.

Sarah is not ready for prime time.

Obama/Biden 08

lol..... wolf blitzer just said 10s of BILLIONS of people are going to watch the debare tonight...lol

These amounts are ridiculous. Americans are suffering and these candidates take your money to put ads on TV so you can then come on-line and complain about each other. If this board is an example of the change Obama will bring...then I would rather stay the same. From the beginning of this process, the Obama supporters have been angry and hateful about everything and everyone that dares touch their Idol. I am a democrat who is so turned off by this man and his supporters that I will vote for the other guy..or girl..It does not matter what happens tonight during the debate...most of you will still hate and call people names...This country is in trouble...we have no manners and no respect for those who worked their entire lives to make us safe.

Glad McCain was able to get conservative representation on the economic bailout package. This means that joe taxpayer won't get screwed by the Democrats.

THANK YOU JOHN!!!!!

You guys have got to go to youtube and watch John McCain shaking his wife's hand. He apparently didn't know who she was or something. Cindy tries to play it off and walks him to the podium, but it's hillarious.

Funny

I thought I had lost my mind when everybody was making such a fuss over this very nice but very limited (presidentially speaking) young woman. Thank's to this article I no longer have to consider commiting my self.

It's just a shame that so many of McCain's have been disproven to be factual by factcheck – too bad the ignorant people don't have computers or the sense to do their own research.

Obama could pay the national debt I think.

Why does Palin wear a Dr. Evil suit all the time?? Does she have a mini-me as well?

FIRST THE FUNDIES GAVE US BUSH.....

THEN THEY GAVE US PALIN (forcing John to pick her)...

NOW THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE US OBAMA (causing John to lose)...

Come on Republicans. Grow a pair and fess up. Your candidate is a bumbling prima donna and his running mate is an incoherent deer in the head lights. There is no amount of spin or reasoning that can rebut that painful truth. After the Couric interview and the erratic "suspended" campaign moonwalk any high functioning moron can see the McCain/Palin ticket for what it really is. A whole lot of absolutely nothing! Oh, and they waste money, too.

ohh has mclie woken up from his third nap a day?

did crazy cindy forget to put metamucil on his OJ?

did she not put metamucil?

did she give it to crazy ignorant and embarrasing Palin instead/?

oh lord, the clowns are in town

If our economy is so bad, where is all this money coming from. What a waste of money by both parties. I know as far as I am concerned the ads mean nothing. Its their records and the policies they support. The half truth half lie ads only annoys me.

John McCain is a waste of supporters money by spending all their money talking about Obama. While Obama has been taking care of business and staying focused on the issues. Obama is simply the best.

You pretend, you don;t believe in stem-Cells?

McCain hasn't spent nearly what Obama has and the race is neck in neck:
So Obama will be the best choice for the economy? LOL!
I don't think he's handled his money situation very well do you?
Hasn't got much bang for the buck
He outspent Hillary too and the DNC had to come in and decide that one. (now I think they regret that choice!)
McCain will win the debate, Obama is terrible in pressure situations
unless he has the DNC and the liberal media cleaning up after him.

Megan, Bush already gave that hope. Palin is REINSTATING that.

WHOOPIE !!!!

MCCAIN IS GOING TO DEBATE NOW. LOOKS LIKE HE FIXED THE ECONOMY EVEN THOUGH HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND A BIT ABOUT IT.

Okay, everyone in America of Voting age: The Jokes over, after the interview with Katie, I'm no longer laughing, THIS IS NOT FUNNY, this is SERIOUS!!!! I actually feal sorry for Mrs. Palin, she'n in soo deep she can look up and see the bottom of her shoes... All the spin and advertisment in the world wont hide the fact that this woman is out of her element.

That is a rediculous amount of money, but unfortunately and regrettably necessary

i don't like mccain and i definitely won't vote for him, especially with palin as his vp, but both candidates should have done public financing.

with the country falling apart, it's ridiculous that they're spending billions of dollars on campaign garbage.

The idea of Sarah is sweet, but the real world, with real issues dictates that we be serious. She is not qualified to be our next Vice President and God forbid, our next president. John knew this, but selected her for the sake of his campaign. He falsely thinks that he will live forever, and if he dies, so what. Wrong decision, and wrong country.

Obama/Biden 08

It is all about money- and for the democrats to criticize the republicans for that is SO absurd.

It is the democrats who have lost their way and are subverting the democratic process.

The democrats that are WASTING so much money JUST on a campaign- NOT on solutions and action- but for a promise of change.

We have people losing their houses.
There are reports of "tent" cities going up across the US.
There are people starving in our country.
And the politicians can justify spending billions?
A few reports, debates, etc is all we need to see what these guys stand for, and make our decisions from that. We do not need the name calling, lying, bickering, etc. high dollar TV ads. This money could be spent helping the millions of people suffering in this country.

The problem I see with eliminating the tax break for employers, is that
it gives them more incentive to hire contractors then full-time employee,s.

Currently the large trucking company I work for has cited that health care costs are killing them, and over the last two years they have turned full-time positions into contracting positions that do not have health care benifits.

So.......where is this money going in our economy?

This is just plain wrong.

Besides... Americans have lost all civility towards each other.

Obama promised unity but brought a vitriolic brand of division- a self-righteous attitude raising self up by degrading others.

Circling like vultures waiting for the next to fall prey to our need to pounce and attack and tear each other to shreds.

Why? So the person we support politically and believe may represent our interest best may win at any cost.

Are we still a democracy?

Now McCain is telling the press that he suspended his campaign, and was the defining factor in getting this buyout close to accomplished. He is also taking credit for the ammendment calling for protection of tax payers. His credit should be given to Obama, whom layed out this plan to the public several days before John. He has taken credit for five Obama ammendments on this package. He also said he was the man who pulled everyone to the table. John arrived at that meeting very late in the afternoon. Even his republican buddies said he did nothing, and "said nothing of substance". Obama arrived early in the day! Get with it America, now the conservative GOP is asking Palin to step down because she is an idiot!

Wow so much money spent on lies by both sides. anyone who thinks their canadite hasn't lied in this or nay campaign is truely ignorant. AS for people who call McCain McInsane perhaps you should listen to what your VP pick has been saying because it is more off base then what McCain has been saying.

I think the debates matter more than the political commercials, more than the flyers, more than the sound bytes, more than anything political. They respond to questions, you decide. Forget the mailouts, forget the phone calls, WATCH and LISTEN. The debates are ALL that matter. This is what your candidate believes in. If the debate is worth anything, the debate asks the right questions.

I Wonder How Much Mccain Paid For That Ad That Said He Won The Debate!

all that money spent, and we still don't know anything about palin except she can see russia from her house, how sad.

McCain camp does several hours of debate prep....... LAST NIGHT.

I just can't take this any more.....

ENOUGH !!

Disgusting. What a waste of much needed money.

And the American people have become dangerously self-righteous in their constant attacks on others.

The danger for us is our vitriolic division and relentless desire to humiliate and denigrate those we disagree with.

CNN: I'm sorry you won't print what I wrote. I think it was fair and made some significant points in comparing the news of Sarah Palin versus Barak Obama. Obama has no claim of more experience than Sarah Palin yet she is the target of smears and an incessant campaign to unearth dirt that evidently doesn't exist. What I wrote, I believe, was well thought out and backed up with facts from recent news items. I wish you had the courage to print what you don't agree with. I believe it certainly was higher quality that 95% of the drivel most people are writing here – statements with no supporting facts stated.

I'm sorry you wouldn't print it but I'm not surprised.

Wouldn't that money be better spent if it went to the bail-out plan?

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if McCain comes out in the debate tonite defending a stance against the $700 billion bailout-the very deal HIS president is begging for. He will do this to show America that he is not following in Bush's steps and it is purely political. God help us all if we can believe Bush about the dire need for this bill. McCain loves the drama and he will do it to get the Republican base behind him. He will do it for the effect it will cause. What is very sad is that he would rather win the presidency with the gamble of all of our American lives.

Obama must get money from heaven. Main street Americans have to decide on medication or food with the little they have.

Didn't you hear? McCain reengineered his BlackBerry technology to jump 4 hours into the future, won the debate by a landslide, and returned just in time to create ads claiming he won the debate!

NOW THAT'S A MAVERICK!

I wonder how much Obama's campaign spends on the CNN Ticker. 95% of the comments are hateful slurs towards McCain, Palin and anyone who would vote for him. They have even started being vicious to Bill Clinton because he refuses to be hateful and negative along with them. It shows who the real hateful ones are.

The Closer The Media Makes This Race Appear The More Money They Will Make! I Wish I Had Every Dollar Mccain Has Spent On Negative Ads! I Would Use It To Try And Make Sure Their Were No Homeless Vets! Thats How I Would Put Country First!

With all this spending especially by Obama he should be 20 points ahead. I do think at the last minute people will go for McCAin.

I will be watching the debate tonight hoping to see Obama tear McCain up. Hoping when the debate is over tonight, McCain will feel like stepping down with his lil beauty queen!

Compared to the $700.00 Billion Dollar Check that Mr. Wall Street is asking Ms. Main Street to write, one billion dollars is child's play.

Why is Palin "laying low" in Philly...Why isn't she talking to real people in really small towns trying to seal the deal? Oh yeah, I forgot that every time she opens her mouth she makes things WORSE!

What a great VP she'd make...OMG, their LYING is rubbing off on me!!!

They could use this money as part of the financial bailout.

Sure beats paying for nursing homes and raising
the standard of living for those who need them and work
for 'em.

What's with the "McCain Wins the Debate" ad??

Um...you can't be very honorable in your intentions if the debate hasn't happened yet.

So if being "Honorable" means LYING to every American...well then he's doing a fabulous job.

Get him Obama. Do him like you did Hillary...drain his accounts!!

Who cares how much money they spent....

If "Country First" means LYING to every American...we'll then McCain's doing a fabulous job.

PALIN does give us hope that ANYONE can be president. Doesn't matter if you know a lick about anything...If she can make it this far, then anyone can!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE "BENJAMINS" BABY!!! It does not matter because the money came from "DONATERS" – you give for a cause!!! Why? Because!!!

BUT – what we're not willing to spend money on is that "DOGGONE BAILOUT!!!" Uh, uh – NO WAY – NO HOW – NO BAILOUT just for the RICH!!!

IF THE MARKET crashes tomorrow – I'm still where I am – nothing changes and I will not be jumping out of windows on Wall Street!!!

IT'S ALL ABOUT "OBAMA" BABY!!! – The next president of USA!!!

internet has all the ads.

Does this mean that McInvain aka McInsane is spending more than the $86 000 000 allowed if you accept government contribution?

may the best man win,, obama/biden 08 and beyond,,( mccains messed up one too many times for americans to even start believeing him)

gross

Obama way outspends McCain and still cannot open more than a slight lead in the polls. Since a lot of people polled are afraid to be labeled "racist" by the rabid Obamites if they dare to answer positive for McCain, I would say the race is tied. I can't wait to see Obama get stumped without his teleprompter tonight.

I wonder what % is on robo calls?

Shaun Dakin
StopPoliticalCalls.org

what a complete waste of money, it's so sad that these two candidates are the best we can come up with and still spend that kind of money. McCain the fool, and Obama the complete and total phony, what a choice!

WOW!

not really

wow...and Im part of that 1B with my $867.00 in $20 donations sent online here and there...

A campaign financed by Americans, for Americans. YES WE CAN.

Obama/Biden '08

reinvesting in the local economy, sounds solid from where we stand!

better than off shore investing!

maybe the political campaigns should agree not to advertise anymore and donate all their money to the bailout of wallstreet.

I guess the campaigns can jump start the economy, lets keep them going and elect a president 2 years from now.

This has got to stop.

It has been driven by the Democrats need to be prepared to rebut all the lies and 527 type shenanigans from 2000 and 2004.

While I am for Obama, I wouldn't be upset at all if both campaigns agreed to not spend any more money on advertisements and either (1) donated all that money to charity (2) donated the money to economic bailout

But, alas, we are going to get ads, both good and bad.

And that is why we wont get a president but another corporate bag boy. Whichever wins. We in any case will loose. until the time we take matters in our own hands

All that money spent and McGimmick still hasn't communicated a single coherent thought on the economy.
