Why does Sen. Obama have John McCain’s scorn?
(Kansas City, Missouri) As the the country groans in response to the record breaking fund raising of Barrack Obama, Senator John McCain may be groaning the loudest. In harmony with Joe Sixpack, who only fears that the new $150 million raised by Obama can only mean an unrelenting stream of political advertisements on television, Senator McCain is worried that he’ll have to suffer through more Obama ads while he’s watching Fox News.
The Democratic candidate’s one-month figure is nearly double what Sen. McCain received in public financing for the final two months of the campaign. This excess has allowed Sen. Obama to out advertise Sen. McCain. For the week ending Monday, Sen. Obama spent nearly $39 million on TV ads versus about $16.7 million for the McCain campaign combined with the Republican National Committee, according to a Democratic official with access to ad-tracking data.
Senator McCain added, ” I really don’t mind that he is winning in the campaign finance game. We know how well that worked out for Senator John Kerry, don’t we?”, he said with a wink. Continuing, he said, “No, it’s not that at all, I’m just sick of seeing his face while I’m trying to relax and enjoy some fair and balanced news on my favorite Fox News program, “Hannity & Colmes.”
Joking aside I think it would have been interesting to see how the fund raising would have went if McCain had opted to fundraise from supporters rather than take money from the already depleted government finances. *thinks* OH that’s why he had to rush back to help out the economy!
