ORIGINAL: Thadius Sort of a strange mix, eh? The release of it is really interesting and is playing into ads like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PetxaA42OuE As far as the "Boss" I am more hoping that they do "Born to run" as it seems more fitting, ah but what do I know. There is plenty of streaming coverage out there, some of the bigger places are doing 24/7 streaming cameras, so might be worth looking into. As Don King would say right now.... Only in America. So McCain thinks an amateurish attack against a candidate because he is popular is a good idea? BTW how did he legally pay for this thing, it says he did at the end, when he is legally forbidden from spending one penny on campaigning until he officially becomes his party's nominee? Where is the outrage over his blatant violation of campaign laws? What happened to the right wingers who frothed at the mouth over some questionable campaign donations in the past? Obviously, you are confused about something, there is money that is raised for the primaries and money raised for after becoming the nominee. Where has Obama been getting his money to legally advertise all of this time, as well? Does this mean we the people get to throw out the 2 current presumptive nominees, and pick the ones we like? That is something I could get behind. However it is good to know that the light has shown on you, and you had that epiphany to vote for Obamessiah. I'm not confused about anything. legally the primary campaign ends after the candidate is nominated at his party's convention. Until that time the primary fund raising and spending rules apply. McCain took federal matching funds for his primary campaign, Obama did not take matching funds and is therefore able to spend all the money he can legally raise. That obligates McCain to spend no more than $54 million during the primary campaign. He exceeded that limit sometime in late March or early April. Every penny he has spent since then has been in violation of federal election law. Did he receive public financing for the primary? If I remember correctly he withdrew from it, and committed to public financing for the general election and even entered into an agreement with... Uhm that other guy, that has since renegged on it... Just sayin.
