McCain campaign: Race is “competetive, McCain is “SURGING”
While most national and battleground polls continue to show a virtual dead-end for McCain come Tuesday, the McCain campaign is not buying it, instead tweaking the pundits and presenting a cohesive public and private consensus on the race that it may be turning in the GOP nominee’s favor.
Thanks to some actual confidence about the close […]
Dole/Hagan Senate race in NC getting nasty…
A remarkable ad out from Elizabeth Dole’s campaign in a Senate race she is losing in North Carolina has been getting plenty of buzz and cable airtime recently. It’s also been getting pretty much universal condemnation from Democrats, Republicans and non-partisans alike.
Why the fuss? Watch for yourself…
Besides using some factually adventurous claims against her opponent, […]
A tie in Louisiana?
Is the media underestimating the potential for a truly unprecedented Obama landslide across the country on Tuesday? While intense scrutiny and hourly updates are provided for the usual batch of battlegrounds - plus Georgia and North Carolina, intriguing results from the reddest of red states like Louisiana are looked over. Yes, that’s right; Louisiana is […]
McCain TV: Closing argument stresses service and fighting for a greater “cause”
The McCain campaign has released what is probably their closing argument TV spot today, announcing the brand new ad “Freedom” will be airing in “key states” just days before Election Day.
The new spot stays away from negative attacks and doesn’t even mention Obama, instead peddling a positive message of McCain’s overall service to his country […]
The Buzz
The final days of the race will see wide-ranging advertising displays and grass roots efforts from the two campaigns (mostly from Obama), but the ground effort by the actual tickets will be strictly and expertly focused on only the biggest of battleground states. Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania are being swarmed by the members of both […]
McCain TV: Hitting Obama for “Praising McCain”
The McCain campaign is out with a brand new hard-hitting TV spot slamming Obama for having the nerve to…compliment John McCain on his climate change record? This sure is strange for a campaign trying to paint Obama’s bipartisan message as inherently false and nothing more than a campaign gimmick.
“Obama Praising McCain” simply goes after Obama […]
CBS/NY Times national poll: Obama’s lead still comfortable
Brand new numbers from the latest installment of the CBS News/NY Times national poll shows Obama retaining a double-digit lead over McCain with well under a week until Election Day the end to this chaotic race. Obama leads by a comfortable margin over his GOP foe, 52% to 41%.
These new results show a slight improvement […]
Obama infomercial at least a ratings success
The Obama campaign turned into an “As Seen on TV” product and marketed his candidacy in an unprecedented 30-minute infomercial on three of the four major TV networks last night. The campaign bought up 30 minutes of airtime on CBS, FOX and NBC in order to run what amounts to a 30-minute campaign ad touting […]
Obama cruising in Virginia
The most improbable of Democratic victories in a reliably red state in years may be well on its way to becoming reality as Obama continues to easily hold off McCain in a new poll out of Virginia. Obama is in front with an 8-point lead as we rapidly approach only one week before Election Day.This […]
Closing argument? Obama releases two-minute “Defining Moment”
Seeking to finish off McCain on the economy and take back the dialogue from “Joe the Plumber” and other McCain-Palin distractions, the Obama campaign has released a new two-minute TV ad in “key states” to solely address the economy and lay out specific plans and proposals for a prospective Obama administration. Is this really an […]
