Is it...?
(link...) (Just FWIW)
The Obama campaign also
The Obama campaign also harvested millions of new e-mail addresses and cellphone numbers. You know, the cellphone people pollsters can't/don't reach. It's all good.
Obama's people are good at getting covers and press, but . . .
form over substance is what sank Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and while covers, photos, page 1 above the fold are nice, if it doesn't persuade the masses to pull the Obama lever, what have you really done?
Obama spend $200 million in the month of July and his probables are lower now than they have ever been. Obama's people are good, but can they win? Don't know, really don't think so.
Actually, Obama spent $55
Actually, Obama spent $55 million in July which, granted, is an absurd amount--but far less than your claim.
Anyway, this is an interesting episode in media management, but it will be forgotten two weeks from now.

I'd rather be cycling.
LOL
Probables? Obama is wiping his ass with McLame amongst female voters. mc Same should be way, way out in front of the Black Guy at this point, but he's not.
Know why?
America doesn't want a thieving, senile, sawdust fartin' sack of shit with a head like a gourd, who can't even remember how many houses he owns, to run this country.
We just finished eight years of yellow-bellied cowards, liars, idiots, Nazis and traitors for leadership. We can do without the "Ace" too.
always lovely
to get my daily fill of the sunshine and roses on Knoxviews. It's such a break from hate-filled talk radio...
and of course I'll want to check out
a few feminist sites as well. I'm sure that they're in fits over Biden.
Of course Hillary is always plotting for the NEXT election isn't she ? That's the way it eventually gets spun.
Man,these Obama folks are
So good, in fact, that they managed to lose points to McCain in the overnight tracking polls after announcing Biden.
Well put, Konaballs. You've
Well put, Konaballs. You've certainly convinced me.
