I know Obama bought airtime I think 30 mins with all networks except ABC. I heard that Fox had to talk with Baseball people as there is some game that may have to hold off the starting time till after this time Obama has. What I wonder is how he will use this airtime and what people think. I thought it was on Oct 29th. Why I wonder that he didn't go with the night before the election. Will it be a speach? Will it have Biden and their families. Any guess?

I'm not sure but he has run a brilliant campaign and I suspect whatever he does I'm sure it will help secure a win.

Porn. Lot's and lots of porn. I mean everything and anything people can think of.

Either that or just him speaking to everyone like he always does. These elections are such a waste of money and time.

I can't even fathom it. 30 minutes commercial free is HUGE in TV time. Will it be a mixture of interviews and video footage of the entire campaign, much like a documentary? Or will it be like his speech on race back in March, which was just over 30 minutes I believe?

just another lie lie and lie some more and add some smears and claim you don't smear while doing it.

Could this be the smackdown in the octagon that I've been waiting for? I thought an Obama / McCain brawl would be on PPV.

Celebrity deathmatch triple-header in clay-mation. Obama over McCain in two rounds. Hillary over Palin in three. Obermann over Hannity in one.

I don't know. When you have an entire 30 minutes, you don't really need to talk in 20 second sound-bites, which tends to bring out the more shocking smears on both sides. Pointing out the faults in your competitor's plan, as long as it is honest analysis, is not smearing though.

Maybe he's worried something is going to explode and damage his chances and he wants to try to talk his way out of it. Feds investigating ACORN, Rezko starting to talk, lawsuit against him...lots of possibilities.

It definitely gives him the flexibility to do whatever he needs to shore up his campaign. McCain campaign will be holding their collective breath.
