Obama buys up 30 minutes of prime time TV for Oct 29

quote:
A half-hour of prime time?

I'm starting to get the sense that fundraising is going pretty good in Obamaland.

James Hibberd reports:

Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of airtime on CBS, sources confirm.

The Obama campaign will air a half-hour primetime special on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m.

Sources say the Obama camp is also near a deal with NBC and Fox. It’s not yet clear if an ad buy is locked on any other network, however, or if the duration or time period is the same.

Taking bets on what will be aired. My vote goes to a Bush Presidency worst moments farewell video. (Greatest moments wouldn't take up 30 minutes.)

Dear Americans,

I'd like to say that I'm not an Allah damned Muslim, for Mohammad's sake! And, for good measure, I'm going to keep repeating that for the next 30 minutes until the most dense of you understand what that means.


Or something of that sort

Obama takes heat for delaying World Series game
Posted: 07:22 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney, CNN's Steve Brusk
A 30-minute Obama ad will delay a game 6 of the World Series.
A 30-minute Obama ad will delay a game 6 of the World Series.

(CNN) – The Republican National Committee took aim at Barack Obama Wednesday over the Illinois senator's half-hour ad buy that will delay the start of a World Series game by 18 minutes.

"It’s unfortunate that the World Series’ first pitch is being delayed for Obama’s political pitch," RNC spokesman Alex Conant said. "Not only is Obama putting politics before principle, he’s putting it before our national pastime.”

Major League Baseball has agreed to a request from Fox to delay the start time of Game 6 of the World Series (if a Game 6 is necessary) so the network can air the 30-minute Obama spot, a Fox spokesman confirms to CNN. The Illinois senator has also bought similar time on CBS and NBC, set to begin at 8 p.m.

“FOX will accommodate Senator Obama's desire to communicate with voters in this…format," Fox spokesman Scott Gorgin said. "We are pleased that Major League Baseball has agreed to delay the first pitch of World Series Game 6 for a few minutes in order for FOX to carry his program on October 29."

It's the first time a presidential candidate has bought that length of airtime on network television since Ross Perot purchased several 30 minute blocs in 1992.

"This is a big platform, this is a big megaphone, the interest level is clearly there and people will watch," Evan Tracey of Campaign Media Analysis Group, CNN's consultant on campaign advertising said.

The October 29 game will now start at 8:38 instead of 8:20.

This better be good. I wonder if he has a trump card. Ooh, I bet he has the goods on Bushie and promises to pursue charges as President.

Captain Clueless strikes again!!

CNN spent a fair amount of time analysing Obama's message on its prime time news shows, despite not airing the whole ad.

Doesn't matter who you're voting for.

The ad was brilliant.

Does it change much? Probably not, but it was an easy watch and he didn't attack McCain really.

Wow I might be getting soft, but that video now has me considering teaching math and science which is something I've always laughed at before.

Also aired last night:



Jon Stewart: "Senator Obama, your mother was a white woman from Kansas and your father an African. Are you worried that when you go into the polling booth the Bradley Effect will take hold and you'll say 'I can't do this'?"

Barack Obama: "Yeah, it's a problem. I've been going through therapy to make sure I vote properly."


lol

I guess I'm in the minority, but I didn't really like the spot. My girlfriend didn't, either. I think Obama's words would have been a lot more powerful without the montages.

You guys think the TV ad was tough, try getting through this one without a tear. It was uploaded the same time, I guess they didn't include it in the ad, consider it DVD extras.
