Is the "Swiftboat Vets" ad still running?
I rarely watch TV except for the Daily show and Reno 911 (I doubt either one is a good market for the ad), so I'm curious as to whether it's been seen in the past few days.

To show how rarely I watch TV, I have honestly not seen the ad.

1. I've never seen it
The only time I've heard it is on Franken's show.

And I'm in Missouri...

2. I'm not sure it was intended to run
Ads like this frequently get put together with minimal plans for actual broadcasting. The hope is that the real exposure (usually of the most dramatic accusations) will come through free news reports about the controversy surrounding the ad.

5. I haven't seen it as an ad for about a week (m)
It was on pretty regularly before that.

Doesn't mean it got pulled because they're admitting it was wrong. They've slung their mud - that's all they wanted to do.

6. I am in California, so I haven't seen it
but buchanan had the liar o'neill scarbourgh last night, along with ted sampley, and it was the worst one-sided crap I have seen.

Not one person who was actually there in Nam with Kerry was there to rebutal, and almost a free reign was given to the filth to say anything they wanted without proof...

Otherwise it's all out on the news.
