MSNBC running long infomercial on McCain - like campaign material - but with logo
It's been on for some time and it pours on thicker than anything I ever saw

2. The MSM is prepping for the GE now that the Dem nominee may be chosen
By all rights the GE should be a blow out for the Democrats, but the MSM wants a close race, so they will give McCain all the press he needs.

3. This is the third in the series
They did the same on Clinton and Obama last week.

4. Did he buy the time, do you think?
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 10:55 PM by samdogmom
He's getting dangerously close to running out of money. He only had $5 million left a week ago--and these funds have to last until the convention in September. He can't travel or do any campaigning once he runs out of money. (This will be fun to watch!) How much do you think this MSNBC time cost?

On Edit: I sure hope a 527 didn't sponsor this for him!

7. I doubt it - the station logo was stuck to the screen - and it was all THEIR footage

5. So? They did one for Clinton and Obama. It would be unfair if they didnt.

6. I thought it significant how fast they passed over the campaign finance
Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 10:59 PM by robbedvoter
as it seems it's quite unpopular with his base. They also completely skipped SC 2000 (where W both whisper campaigned him AND stole his votes)They made believe McCain simply ran out of money

9. They have done a profile of each candidate...
They ran profiles of Clinton and Obama last week. It's better than the "To Catch a Predator" or "Inside Prisons" crap they usually run at 10PM.
