In the end, I think running these ads will be one of the strategic moves that should not have been made.

If there is any strategy to the Obama campaign in the first place.

I’m sick of seeing that same stupid “I’ll create 5 million jobs from out of unicorn farts and pixie dust” commercial that has been running non-stop here in NC during the Olympics.

I can see cutting out ads in some of those states, but FL and VA??? The latter is quite confusing since it is his best pick of those states to flip blue. Maybe the Obama camp’s internal polling is showing something the other pollsters aren’t picking up…

Or, he’s planning to pick Kaine and thinks that will bump him up in VA…

I kinda like the view of Obama spending huge amounts of money with no results; his Central Planning Team standing around scratching their heads searching for solutions, which session always end with “We need more money!”

The same Brain Trust that outspent Hillary 4 to 1 in PA and still lost; the same Acme Academy grads that have spent $4 million+ in FL where McCain hasn’t spent a dime (and, yet, are losing) are still running this show –stupid is as stupid does.

to make big noise about a campaign in rural or “Bush” Alaska - that’s not a reference to GWB, it’s a reference to the parts of the State that are accessible only by air and summertime boats and barges. Those are about the only districts outside Juneau, the university district in Fairbanks, and the snobby “granddaddy made millions mining and I’ve got mine” downtown in Anchorage where a Democrat wins sometimes anyway - no real effort required. Here’s the ADN story and some blog responses: http://community.adn.com/adn/node/129391

No matter what’s going on elsewhere on the ballot, Alaska isn’t going to go to a Democrat for President, not this year anyway.

FYI, for any that go to the link, Mayor Whitaker of Fairbanks sorta flies a Republican flag of convenience at times, but he’s more of a Green/Libertarian really, not out of place with Democrats.

Guess that leaves 5756 states left in play.

Or did his Georgian translators all quit?

maybe we are reading too much in the ad withdrawals. Maybe the VP pick has something to do with what these states may have in common. Maybe he needs to shore up his supporters in the blue states and wait for the bounce from the convention before hitting these fence-sitters Aain.

Or maybe His pick could steal some Red States? Umm ??

Someone should check with Tim Kaine to see if the cessation of ads in VA raised his eyebrow.

is not in play either, based on this news. So much for that prediction.

I told you guys Georgia was not in play.

….

The Obama team realizes it too.

Hopefully the Putin team will realize it too….

In 2004 Howard Dean and his campaign thought he was being so clever running TV ads in the Crawford, TX, area.
It wasn’t.

You heard it HERE first:

Arizona will not be in play this year.

Your’re welcome.

on abortion. 18 months ago, before I knew of Obama I said the dems would lose in 08 because they had rejected Clinton DLCism.

good job GC

it’s Obama/Nunn with Bob Barr getting near 10% traction (20% should McCain screw the pooch on his VP pick)..?
