Bush will spend $10 million on tv commercials to be broadcast over the next 12 days.

This would be a good time to help John Kerry answer Bush's distortions.

10. the article says 17 states but doesn't list them

I assume people who aren't in swing states won't have to watch the Bush ads next week.

3. Good, another $10 mil tossed out the window...

for what, another point in a bogus poll?...:)

I hope the GOP spends every dime on garbage commercials...then bush can go back to Crawford a bigger loser than he already is...:evilgrin:

4. Eric, I Just Gave a Donation Through Your Link

My second to Kerry. Only $10, but every little bit helps. (I gave to Dean five times.) Donations are easier for me if they become a habit.

Kerry's TV spots tend to be excellent. If the right ads are ready, he needs to spend a littl. He doesn't need to match Bush's spending -- he just needs to run a few in the same markets just to take the edge off. He can play defense cheaper than Bush can attack -- plus negative ads often backfire. Kerry's primary ads were relentlessly positive.

Bush's campaign is really blowing its wad early. Regardless of what Bush himself thinks, I believe it's a sign of panic.

5. Bring it on.

7. GOOD! I hope he spends all his money trying to

dispell all the accusations made in the recent books THAT ARE ALL #1 SELLERS!!!

I think it's great that he has to spend that war chest.

Kerry has some new ads running now, but the biggest help isn't ads, it's things Shrub can't control, like all the books, the 9/11 Commission, the SCOTUS decision on Cheny, and on and on........

8. I think his current ad is just annoying.

What's with that "Mr Kerry" after each individual point? Unfortunately, I think they're going to get alot of mileage out of, "I actually did vote for the 87 Billion dollars, before I voted against it" People are too stupid to look into what he meant by that.

9. The Bush Administration presented a 50 page outline, and then

The Bush Administration presented a 50 page outline, and then asked for $87 billion.

What company would agree to pay a partner $87 billion based on a 50 page outline? None.

But the Bush Administration acts as if legislators who wouldn't go along with their garbage are unpatriotic.

11. In Hawaii, a safe Dem state

the Bush commercials have been on the air constantly, & have never gone off.

The Kerry voted to go to war & voted against the money has been run thousands of times.

And I am SICK OF IT !!!!
