HONESTLY, it kinda creeps me out that Barack Obama bought all that TV time on all those networks last night - too much like a Big Brother thing, in the controlling Orwellian sense.This from a left-leaning paper in a hardcore Dem town.
If not for ABC wanting to air its quirky "Pushing Daisies" - a sitcom, not a news report on John McCain's campaign - Obama would have scored a TV "roadblock," meaning it'd be tough for almost any viewer to get around seeing him.
As is, he hog-tied 30 minutes starting at 8 p.m. on CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Fox (pre-empting the World Series pre-game show), BET, Univison and TV One.
It was "HEY, AMERICA, YOU CAN'T NOT LOOK AT ME! I COMMAND IT!"
Personally, I couldn't bring myself to watch it as my Phillies winning the World Series were delayed by this political circle jerk, that's enough to piss anyone off.
Anyway, he probably would have drawn a better audience had he featured Sarah Palin. He drew 33.5 million (mostly in cities he's already won) while the VP debate drew 52 million.
I think it was a mistake as most Americans hate people who are egotistical enough to buy network time with money they received after lying about public financing.
