Why is McFail pulling ads?

[ProSense]

Seriously, though, I agree with Steve: this is flailing desperation. It also makes no sense: he's still giving some speeches, but he has stopped airing ads. Does anyone seriously think that airing ads would seriously impair John McCain's ability to address this crisis? Does he usually wind the ad tapes himself? Does he go around to all the TV stations in order to say "I'm John McCain and I approve this message" in person? Somehow, I don't think so.

Is this a hint about his campaign's financial position?

1. Being broke is the only thing that makes sense.

2. Maybe he needs some downtime and a nap?

5. It's about money.

His campaign is hurting financially. Well in a lot of other ways, too. But it's clear it's hurting financially.

6. I think the legal bills started coming in...

from Alaska.

7. He has spending restrictions in various states......

per public financing rules.

He may be getting close in some of the states, and needed to hold back.

8. Okay, I've heard about the debates--now he's pulling ads?

I just took a couple of hours to go the dr and look what happens...

10. I know, right? I'm trying to catch up with this.

11. As soon as I walked in the door my district chair called. I'm hosting a debate party--

13. Maybe He Wants The Greedy Media That Will Be Deprived Of This Easy Money From The Ads He Pulled.....

to come hat in hand to him that if he replaces those ads with them - they'll be softer and kinder when they comment on him.

14. Maybe he has to re-tool his ads?

[Cha]

15. Maybe he's just going for broke.

Looks more serious if he pulls his ads too..you know for the sake of our country. he has a point.


The Colorado mccain hack sent the talking points of the pullout to reporters by mistake as we all know by now:)

16. Does he usually wind the ad tapes himself?

He he. Probably. He's not very tech savvy, ya know!

17. He's not pulling his ads.

There's a new one running in Iowa about how he and the pukes are going to save the economy and the Dems don't have any ideas how to do it. The dems are going to raise your taxes.
The other one he keeps running says that Obama wants to raise you taxes on your income, your retirement savings, your gas bills, and you home heating oil. The Dems are all about big government.
