MSNBC keeps saying Hillary and Obama both have 2-min. ads for tonight and Edwards has a 1-min. ad

[jenmito]

but the only ad they play part of (repeatedly, at that) is the Hillary ad. Why is that?

[xultar]

1. Do they have the Obama ad to play? Call a campaign office and let them know.

Maybe they can get it to them.

[flpoljunkie]

2. Perhaps they do not yet have access to Edwards' and Obama's tapes.

[aquart]

3. They want Hillary to win, of course.

That's what you're saying, right? Big Media wants Hillary, ignore all those nasty, distorted articles and stories about her.

Poor little underdog Obama. Nice positioning, ducky. Does your ad say, We Try Harder?

[jenmito]

6. No, that's NOT what I'm saying...

I'm asking a question.

[xultar]

9. Come on. WE got your message. I can't believe you didn't consider they didn't have it.

almost 6 people posted the exact same thing within moments of each other.
Your question seems to be a leading one. So, call an Obama campaign office and let them know. Report back.

[MethuenProgressive]

4. Obama hasn't settled on his final positions yet?

And the Edwards spot is probabaly still at Kinkos.

[jenmito]

11. Obama's the only consistent one of the three.

How can a Hillary supporter say such a thing as you did? It's Hillary who changes her positions whenever convenient...whenever her position is no longer popular. She even poll-tested to see if she should accept Streisand's endorsement, for god's sake.

[surfermaw]

21. For sure she hasn't been slandering democrats like Kennedy

[jenmito]

23. Right. She's been slandering Dems. like Obama.

[ronnykmarshall]

24. The poster supports Richardson.

[jenmito]

26. Don't let the avatar fool you.

[ronnykmarshall]

30. ....!!!!

[jenmito]

35. Very funny...

I've seen that a million times on Countdown.

[ronnykmarshall]

28. She poll tested Streisand's endorsement?

[jenmito]

29. Yup. That's what they reported in the news. Whether to announce it or not.

[ronnykmarshall]

31. Where?

What news?

[jenmito]

32. Here ya go:

“We would’ve low-keyed it,” the associate said. “But the campaign says it’s a net plus. They polled it. Among Democratic primary voters, even in places like Iowa, they love Barbra.

[ronnykmarshall]

36. Earth shattering.

I'm no long supporting Hillary.

[jenmito]

39. You forgot the sarcasm thingy...

but I guess that's all you could do when I was able to prove my point. :shrug:

[ronnykmarshall]

41. No.

It is true. I am no longer a supporter of Hillary.


This is the last straw. I can not go on supporting her. No campaigns have ever done any type of polling.

To think that she would poll La Babs?

Good god! I shall make it my life's mission to tell every gay man in America of this travesty.

[jenmito]

43. Seriously? So then you'll be an Edwards supporter? Are you busy starting your mission now?

Before it's too late?

[LisaM]

5. Very craft on Edwards' part!

Since most Americans only have a one-minute attention span.

[jenmito]

12. Or because he doesn't have enough money...

by his choice, of course. :eyes:

[MalloyLiberal]

34. He spent the money on a full page ad in the paper.

[jenmito]

37. It's too bad he couldn't afford both.

[MalloyLiberal]

38. When you don't have Oprah sending you big checks it's kinda hard

[jenmito]

40. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Obama has more donors who gave small donations than anyone else.

Nice try.

[meegbear]

7. Ummm ... an example of what's to come?

:shrug:

If this bothers you, why don't you contact MSNBC and ask them.

[MADem]

8. Check the campaign websites now and see if all those ads are up.

If not, the station may not have them to show.

And MSNBC isn't a satellite staple in many markets--and satellite is popular in rural IA.

[BeyondGeography]

10. I had heard that Obama wanted to go live...maybe that's why

[jenmito]

13. I just read an article that said he WANTED 5 min., but they didn't give it to him...

it would've been too controversial giving him that much time.

[Lucinda]

19. Everything I read said it was about them losing too much money

giving him 5 minutes. Plus there was concern about equal time requests.

[Yael]

14. I heard THEY wanted HIM to speak live for 5 minutes

but that he didn't think that would be fair to the other candidates, so he traded 4 minutes to Dennis Kucinich (to be used at an undisclosed later date) in order to shore up second chance votes.

But you didn't hear that from me.

[jenmito]

15. .

:eyes:

[Yael]

17. ...

:D

[Lucinda]

16. Didn't Obama want to go live? I know he did with the 5 minute...not sure about the 2 min.

Could be that they're just not being pre-released.

[jenmito]

18. Yes, he wanted to go live. But he will have a 2-min. ad during the 6pm news. The live satellite

would've been too difficult.

[Lucinda]

20. Well...I think it's smarter of Edwards and Obama to not pre-release

No one can try and refute your comments if they dont know what you're going to be saying. :)

[jenmito]

22. They just played a couple seconds of all 3 of the ads. n/t

[Lucinda]

25. Well...there goes my theory.

:rofl:

[jenmito]

33. Yup!

:D

[Clintonista2]

27. Maybe the press only has a copy of the Clinton ad?

I don't think that there's anything sinister behind it

[jenmito]

42. They have all 3. They played a few seconds of them once, but they keep playing hers over and over..

they're playing it again as I type.

[THUNDER HANDS]

44. this is Clinton's ad....it's pretty damn impressive

she looks like she's in her late 30s.

[jenmito]

45. I saw it...

she sure does. It's amazing what such great lighting and a little collagen will do for ya.
