With all this extra money, I am wondering if Obama is going to do a nationwide ad blitz

[Quixote1818]

in the last few days. He could even localize many of the ads and see if he can't get a few deep red states to bite and take a swim in an ocean blue.

From what I hear it will be very hard for him to spend it all. Maybe he should donate it to other Dem candidates who need the funds? Is that legal?

1. He and his team are sofa king creative with the uses they put their money to....

I'll just sit back and wait&see.

I mean, putting ads in XBox games? BRILLIANT!

2. Maybe he'll buy up more air national time

He's already bought 30 minutes national air time prior to the world series, even to the point the game had to be pushed back to accommodate his speech running into the start time. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, I like that he has all those viewers but hope that he doesn't have a bunch of angry viewers mad that he's delayed their game.

3. He's got a half hour nationwide a week before the election on major networks.

This ain't chopped liver.

4. "are you better off than you were 8 years ago" just like reagan did with 4 years ago nt

5. He does have national ads running

I'm in the West Chicago suburbs, and I've seen many commercials on MSNBC. I'd be shocked if those were local only.

6. He should save some for legal battles in some of the states n/t

7. Obama does not really have much of a financial advantage

when you consider he has to run against McCain AND the MSM!

10. Thank you, glad to know someone else gets it

[Liberal_in_LA]

13. Not much extra considering the massive campaign staff, gotv, and future legal challenges.

11. What extra money? They were soliciting just today!

[The Hope Mobile]

14. There's no extra money - its for the lawyers, if necessary. He IS giving

to congressional campaigns. They will solicit straight through to election day for election protection. He is planning on doing a half hour spot on Oct 29 to remind people NOT to take things for granted, to watch for and report voter suppression, etc..
