Obama/DNC: Where's the Ad on McCain not knowing how many houses he owns?

listening to Bill Press, an older less aggressive democratic pundit says  "we should see an ad today on McCain not knowing how many houses he owns".

McCain's campaign says they only own 4 which is demostrably false.  He may only be able to spend time in four, but newsweek estimated 7 while other sources say 10.

Rachel Maddow says 9.  Of course when you own that many houses it's hard to keep track of paying taxes for all of them.

When you're poor, it can be hard to pay the bills. When you're rich, it's hard to keep track of all the bills that need paying. It's a lesson Cindy McCain learned the hard way when NEWSWEEK raised questions about an overdue property-tax bill on a La Jolla, Calif., property owned by a trust that she oversees. Mrs. McCain is a beer heiress with an estimated $100 million fortune and, along with her husband, she owns at least seven properties, including condos in California and Arizona.

love how "at least 7 houses" (none / 0)

is stated.

even newsweek can't count them all

The ad we need to see today is the one where McBush says he agrees we need to reinstate the draft. MSNBC's Chuck Todd predicted Obama's lead would double overnight.

Re: and yet in all (none / 0)

I've been seeing Obama hit McLame for days, and seen his local market ads which hit him here and elsewhere. We obviously get our info about what Obama is doing from different sources.

I"m in NC (none / 0)

where he just was.

and true in his little speeches he says some good things, but even in local papers his hitting mccain isn't highlighted.

you need multiple surrogates saying the same thing and repeating it AT LEAST

Ideally with a glitzy web ad (or real ad) to reinforce it.

Obama's is too smart for his own good.

he needs to pretend he's communicating with his youngest daughter cause that's probably the sophistication of the voters who decide elections..

Re: I"m in NC (none / 0)

Your choice of words demonstrates predisposed bias.

I've read your posts before and know that whatever Obama does, you will attack him.

How can you even have the gall to reply after jsfox has crammed this diary back down your throat with the very ad you asked for?

Right here (2.00 / 4)


Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.
