The infomercial bounce (health care, interviews, CNN, polls)

[Upton]

Of the 8 daily tracking polls listed at RCP 5 showed gains for Obama today, 1 for McCain and 2 were unchanged from yesterday...now Thursday night's interviews were the first conducted entirely after Obama's Wednesday 30 minute infomercial...are the gains coincidental, or are we seeing an infomercial bounce?

I hope it's a bounce that keeps on moving up!

Go Obama!

You're right about that..I think the infomercial was money well spent.

Yup, that was a clever way to close on his msg.

$40 million dollars would have spread a lot of wealth around.

Another good way to spread the wealth around: cut the military spending so that it is only 8 times as much as the rest of the world combined and use the money to give everyone health care or free college.

40 million? I heard 6 million.

$3.5-$5 Million according to CNN that night. Given the amount of money they've been raising that really is peanuts. McCain can complain about Obama "buying the election" all he wants but he'd kill for that kind of money.
