6. I really wonder why
I haven't been seeing most of these ads on TV. I only see them on here. Maybe I'm tuning in and out at the wrong times

27. Actually not... there's no reason to waste advertising dollars in NY.......

We'll win that state regardless.

32. You won't see them here.
NY, NJ & CT aren't battleground states. These ads are meant for Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, etc.

I did see McCain's ad a few times when I was upstate, but that's about it.

34. No - Another New Yorker here
The price of being a non-swing state is that we're spared the endless political ads that states like PA, MI, CO, etc... are getting now. I haven't seen one ad that was not being shown on a cable news show. I catch them all on the internet.

37. Living on Long Island I get to see
McCain posters and billboards on lawns. What a shame.

I do see a lot of mccain ads on tv though...

38. Where are you seeing the ads?
I had just mentioned to someone that I had yet to see a political ad (I saw one for a Jersey race). I'm in Westchester.

39. on cable news channels
sorry I can't remember exactly what particular channels since I'm usually just listening to tv in the background. Could be either comedy central, msnbc, cnn, or yes. I definitely remember seeing the lame and contrived one about the Hillary supporter who has decided she's going for mccain

41. That's interesting
Cable news channels often run local ads. I wonder if they're just targeting Nassau/Suffolk counties. Our congresswoman (Nita Lowey) is running unopposed but in Northern Westchester, John Hall is being challenged (Hall got in after he beat Sue Kelly who had been there for many years). My nephew is working on his campaign.

11. I was hoping he had an emergency media response team all prepped
for just this kind of thing. And the money will let him air them. Beautiful.

I predict sequels
History, Biology, Science Books ... that song has a lot more potential and McCain has provided abundant material.

10. They need to produce an ad using a Kerry line from
last night:

"Let me tell ya. Before (McCain) even debated Barack Obama, John McCain should finish the debate with himself."



(Referring to all of McCain's flip flops!)

HA! Kerry was on fire.

13. It's perfect.
At first I thought there was more ammo they could've thrown, but they picked the ones that would stick the most and hammered them home.

19. It's not new. This is about a week old. Of course the MSM hardly played it. I saw it about
twice one day and no more after that. But they keep playing McCain's ads over and over.

31. It's riveting because the music is exceptional(James Taylor)
and it keeps one glued to the pics that are worth more than a thousand words.

29. Isn't it sad that you had to find out about it HERE? All of MCCAIN'S ads get constant
media play. It's so obviously biased! The media played this ad two whole times in one day, and that was the end of it. :eyes:
