Barack 'n' Baseball
They'll both go on as scheduled tomorrow.
Barack Obama’s planned broadcast roadblock during primetime Wednesday will not include ABC, as the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign has decided to pass on buying airtime on the network. ABC will instead air a new episode of Pushing Daisies.
The Obama campaign has purchased ad time on Oct. 29 on CBS, NBC, Fox, and Univision; each is scheduled to air a 30-minute “closing argument” infomercial from Sen. Obama at 8:00 p.m. Fox had agreed to push back the start of game six of the World Series. However, since MLB is delaying the completion of game five due to weather conditions until Wednesday night, the remainder of that game will now follow the Obama half hour.
The Obama campaign has not completely ignored the network, however, having two ad slots with the network that aired October 20 and 22 during World News With Charles Gibson for a reported $138,000 each.
Anyone else wondering if we will have martial law if they steal the election 6 days from now?
