The reason for McCain's ad blitz this week....

Someone posted last week about the election laws requiring that a candidate spend all of his/her primary money before the convention. Once your party has its convention, you are no longer able to spend primary money, you have to use GE money.


After next week, he'll be hamstrung because he opted for public financing. He'll have only $86 million to spend for the final two months of the campaign.

Obama will have nearly triple that... and maybe more.


Keep that in mind.

And just take the fines.

4. And obviously with his pathetic POW POW whine that he
has to keep using, it is obvious to me, at least, that the whole snafu over his many houses scares the socks off of him. He knows that incident has the power to turn the tide against him during the housing crisis. We have to make sure that we continue to use this in a clever way to demonstrate just how out of touch he really is.
