[dixiegrrrrl]

RE: Suspend all McCain for President Advertising
"As you are aware, the John McCain for President Campaign has suspended all campaigning to address the current national financial crisis. Effective 5pm today, September 24th, 2008, all advertising for the McCain for President Campaign must cease. Please notify your stations immediately."

1. I'm beginning to think he's going to concede

It's all so strange.

[katty]

29. me too--every hour is a new thing

[Born Free]

45. no, they want to cancel the election

No need to pretend to count votes, bush can just hand the keys to the White House over to McCain, and the democrats will allow it all to happen again...they will say, maybe this time the GOP will play fair , maybe we should postpone campaigning and play nice, stand behind the president, take blame yada,yada ,yada . Democrats have the issue, they just need to pound it in and not let up, rather than give in make the GOP meet their terms.

[lonestarnot]

81. I think you are right.

[Kablooie]

83. Ah, that may explain it! They will postpone the election until the "crisis" is solved.

When people protest they will declare martial law.

I'll bet that's it!

[paparush]

100. DING! DING! DING! We have a winnah!!!!

Obama should grind his ass into gravy for this shit.

[sendero]

111. Bullshit..

... it's simply not going to happen.

Pry the tinfoil off your head. McCain is pulling a stunt "I'm so important Washington can't do without me" .

Trying to turn this into "canceled elections" is absurd.

[onenote]

129. DING! DING! DING! We have an actual winner!

nt

[MadinMo]

137. In his dreams.

And I don't think ANYONE believes his appearance in DC will solve anything.

Of course knowing what a slimeball he is, IF things have a resolution he will claim full responsibility.

[Suspicious]

132. This is exactly what I've been thinking,

though I'm desperately trying to convince myself otherwise...if McCain was worried in the slightest that such a stunt might cost him the election, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that he would go through with it.

Which leads me to think he's not worried about the election at all. :tinfoilhat:

[Virginia Dare]

59. Is that legal?

Wouldn't the repubs have to appoint a new nominee?

[Bill McBlueState]

82. Sure

No political party *has* to have a candidate.

[Berry Cool]

2. My heart is broken.

And now that Palin's off the hook for a while, Keith Olbermann will no longer be able to donate money to Alaska Special Olympics.

Hmm...waitaminit...you don't suppose this is all just because Sarah needs more time to get ready??? Naaah... :rofl:

[Cosmic Charlie]

3. he's trying to stretch that 84 million

you're done, old man!

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

148. He doesn't need to stretch the 84 million.

He already figured a way around that.

David

[corkhead]

4. I am trying to follow the logic on how pulling ads helps the financial situation

other than to slow the financial hemorrhaging of his own campaign

[drmeow]

8. Its not that pulling the ads helps the financial situation

its that halting his campaign and going back to Washington allows him so say, "Getting the American financial system back on track is more important to me than campaigning for President, unlike my opponent." Plus it slows the financial hemorrhaging of his campaign. It is a cynical ploy and I don't trust it one bit.

[CJCRANE]

19. His ads are crap anyway.

No one will miss them.

[Blue Belle]

47. His campaign can try to say that....

But it makes the candidate look like he's unprepared, and can only focus on one thing at a time. You shouldn't trust it one bit - it's all a stall tactic. He may have experience, but it hasn't prepared him to lead.

[calmblueocean]

62. Exactly. He gets more publicity by pulling his ads than running them.

And he'll just plow all that money back into ads before the election.

[cstanleytech]

73. Exactly. nt

[Liberalynn]

64. Hatch just said that on Tweety's show

almost word for word, about McSame be willing to loose to figure out the crisis, and how that would make him the better leader. :puke: and how the economic crisis was all Bill Clinton's fault. :eyes:

[GinaMaria]

104. That's all they have

fake outrage at manufactured offenses :eyes: This stuff is so old.

[NYC Liberal]

74. In reality, people will see it for what it is.

McCain is ONE SENATOR. Reid said he doesn't need to come back. So what is he going to do?

No, this won't work.

[paulkienitz]

78. "current financial crisis" = lack of donors?

How is McCain's campaign coffer, anyway?

[Phred42]

5. The Coup Begins tonight?

Let's see....

- Grampy suspends his campaign
- Grampy Pulls all Advertising! as of NOW.
- the Village Idiot will speak to us tonight
- John Yoo is so desperately needed in DC that he cancels the classes he is teaching at Stanford and makes a bee-line for the DC bunker. they need him in on the Torture? (This is being reported on KOS and Firedoglake)
- Grampy is getting his ass kicked in the polls
- Congress won't give the Oligarchy a blank check

The Coup Begins tonight?

[yardwork]

7. John Yoo was recalled to Washington? Really? That is weird.

[Phred42]

11. It's on KOS and FDL

He's not a Mortgage lawyer he's a Torture Lawyer

So why do they NEED him in DC......RIGHT NOW!?

[katty]

32. Unitary powers - lawyer

[yardwork]

92. That makes sense. That's in Paulson's plan.

[Demeter]

9. I Hope This ISN'T the Case. But It's Damn Suspicious.

[uppityperson]

27. Bizarre. Why am I suddenly suspicious of an "event" unfolding?"

I have always been cynical, but it sure as heck has gotten worse these last 8 yrs.

[frylock]

69. one of those catastrophic and catalyzing events..

like a NEW, new Pearl Harbor?

[Demeter]

12. I Think the Bailout Went Down in Flames

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. Berkeley..Yoo is at Berkeley

which is a necessary distinction since Berkeley *used to be * a liberal college, usually the first to hold demonstrations.
Obviously gone downhill.

[katty]

34. You nailed it

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. Not unless they want riots.

Are they bringing the boys and girls home from Iraq?

[eowyn_of_rohan]

68. No - the Iraq troops don't get here til October tst

Did this unravel sooner than they had planned? Did things not go according to their evil plans?

[SaveAmerica]

79. A military battalion is being activated on US soil for the first time in history...

[readmoreoften]

117. Nothing strange about that, right?

[not fooled]

108. Yoo = Berkeley

Puh-leeze. As a Stanford grad, I wish to state for the record that Stanford DOES NOT have torture-boy Johnny Yoo on the Law School faculty. He is at BERKELEY. :mad:

http://www.law.berkeley.edu/php-programs/faculty/facultyProfile.php?facID=235

Of course, Stanford DID hire Kindasleazy Rice...oh, never mind. :eyes:

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

6. Oh, and P.S.

Our campaign can't afford to pay for any of the ads you've run in the past three weeks.

Most Sincerely,
John McSame

[katty]

36. exactly!

[phantom power]

10. Pulling his ads? That's weird.

Something strange is going on.

[Phred42]

14. Right! Even if he was postponing for a week - he'd need the adverts

too wierd

[Indenturedebtor]

13. This is truly bizarre. The only explanations I can think of

are:

1) The RNC wants to spread some money around to downballot candidates, and is using this as an excuse

2) McBush wants to hide from view because people are increasingly associating him with this meltdown

[Phred42]

15. As this progresses teh Keating 5 will come into the discussion again

[SoCalDem]

23. People are paying attention to other things.. he's saving his money

trying to get free press by NOT running ads..

[Indenturedebtor]

35. That's a good explanation too but I think people pay more attention to the ads

in times such as these. The election has become much more relevant to people with all of these problems going on.

[cosmicone]

50. He can stretch is $84 million this way

He is dominating all news cycles (albeit unfavorably) and thinks he will look good by suspending the ads. This may actually work for him because the electorate is stupid.

[SaveAmerica]

107. See NC Senate race between Dole and Hagan, Hagan is up by 4 I think

You might have something there.

[newfie11]

16. maybe he is running out of money for ads

[DebbieCDC]

17. They need two things here:

Time and money -- that's why McPOW wants to "delay" the debate and "rush" back to DC (where he hasn't voted in the Senate in months.

Need time to coach Moosebreath

Need money for ads

The clock is ticking on the old geezer and he knows it. So they try this stunt. It's nothing but a ploy. I think (hope) most people will see through this BS.

Obama is right -- debate is on; show the President can handle more than one thing at a time!

Jeebus, Bill Maher is going to have a field day with this come Friday night on HBO. Too bad I don't have premium channels.

[krkaufman]

46. Are TDS and Colbert not running new shows this week? n/t

[FLyellowdog]

122. He's only voted 56.7% of the time anyway.

[BearSquirrel2]

128. If Bush can "govern" from that Ranch ...

If Bush can "govern" from that ranch, then Obama and McCain can keep an eye on this legislation on the campaign trail.

[Poll_Blind]

18. That is very, very strange. To pull the ads like that...I'm hoping lots...

...of people sound off with what their opinions are of this move because I'm mostly stumped.

OnEdit: Wait, is this the precursor to the Repubs somehow getting McCain out of the race and introducing an entirely new candidate/vp?

PB

[eowyn_of_rohan]

38. like BUSH -CHENEY !!?

:scared:

[Liberalynn]

61. That's my guess too.

:scared:

[GinaMaria]

112. No... Cheney - Bush

to mix it up a little

[geiger]

20. BIZARRE. But you know they are up to something.

[JonLP24]

21. He is trying to put pressure on Obama

McCain doesn't play partisan politics in times of crisis but Obama does. Is that what a true leader does? Politics over principle (I can just see the future ad whenever McCain decides to turn it back on)

[Jazzgirl]

52. I can't believe you said McSame doesn't play

politics in times of crisis but Obama does?? What the hell was the shit with the Georgia and South Osetia conflict? You think THAT wasn't politics? Are you in the right place?

[JonLP24]

80. Sorry

I was trying to hypothesize a possible ad by McCain, imagine the voice over for a McCain ad when you read my post

[SpookyCat]

93. Oh dude...I almost flamed you! LOL!

Thanks for responding to the previous post...cuz it's been a long crappy day and I almost took it out on you...

Hey, can I have some of your avatar?

:yourock:

[sunnybrook]

89. you know I think that too

but this is such colossal bullshit I am thinking it may backfire: just like when the Gingrich congress tried to score political points by forcing a government shutdown, thinking the public would blame Clinton; the public was infuriated at the transparent Repugs... that was one dumb strategy. this could backfire big time

[crossroads]

22. His ads are nothing but lies anyway! nt

[HopeHoops]

24. Saving his $$$ for the last minute

[GinaMaria]

113. This is a good time to cough up some $ for Obama

Anyone who can spare some $ during this terrible Bush economy, please donate what you can.

[karynnj]

25. Even if people buy the idea that McCain needs to lead the effort

in helping the Banking committee (which hhe has never been on) write the legislation - even though he was never known as a Senator who meticulously crafts legislation - and even if he said he doesn't know much about economics, there is NO personal connection of the candidates to the showing ads or fundraising. This is a stunt!

Does he stay next that we can't have an election? Is he trying to make Bush 2004 look sane in comparison?

[Bette Noir]

26. Bet the 527 smears don't get pulled.

[lunatica]

28. This election season has more surprises than fleas on a country dog!

Jaysus! WTF!

:silly:

[dweller]

31. now if only the other members of his party

do the same. Liddy Dole, are you listening?


just fine w/ me
dp

[Alcibiades]

37. And she's actually on the Banking Committee!

Unlike McCain.

[Alcibiades]

33. When the chips are down, you can't cut and run

The cut and run campaign. If there's a crisis in his administration, will he suspend his administration? We need a president who can walk and chew gum at the same time.

He's a quitter. We don't need someone who will give up. This is a stunt, much like nominating Sarah Palin was a stunt.

[L0oniX]

39. I am calling BULL SHIT on him and Bush. Bush has been preparing for this for months.

It's an early October surprise ...but not really a surprise since the problem has been known about for quite a while. They've waited until now to pull the finger so as to interfere with the campaign. McLame is a coward and he knows he is going down in the polls and that's why he has called off his campaign. This is 100% bull shit coming directly from McLames asshole. It's more important to have this debate because we are talking about the next leader of the US who will have to deal with this problem. Yea right ...a problem of whether or not to give rich crooks our tax money while we are still pumping money into Iraq and oh geeze we can't afford universal health care. There is so much bull shit with all this that it's squishing out of the white house doors and windows and it's about to explode McLames asshole.

[quiet.american]

40. Blink. nt

[DesertFlower]

42. why suspend the ads?

it doesn't make sense.

[krkaufman]

43. How would continuing to run his political ads affect his ability to address the crisis?

Does he watch every one of them, or something?

[ladywnch]

44. he has to go into hiding till this stuff blows over.

he's got nothing to offer. he and his cronies are responsible for this and he has no idea what to do to get out from under it so he is going to 'suspend' his campaign to 'focus on this problem'.....translation: hide until this is over and he can go back on the attack all while under the cover of 'leadership in crisis situations'. what a sick tired joke.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

65. Sure isn't going to blow over in the next month!

If anything it will get deeper and deeper... Something VERY weird - perhaps historic- is happening. Just hope it is GOOD for once!

[TrogL]

48. They are trying to lose and stick Obama with the problem

[tama]

53. Hah

Someone else cynical enough to think the same... yup I think you're right, but what wierd times we are living, huh!?

[matt819]

49. He's going to turn this against Obama

And, yes, I think the Obama team is going to be ready. McCain, country first, stops campaign to attend to crisis. At the helm. McCain in control. Obama flitting about the country, clearly doesn't care about ordinary Americans. Just wait and see. It will take a few days, but the Obama cares more about winning an election than about saving the country from economic ruin ads are going to show up, probably on Saturday.

[cosmicone]

My thinking exactly n/t

[OhioChick]

54. You're probably right. n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

51. OH duh ! I know what it is !!!!!!!

It's the National Enquirer story.
The last straw of increasing thinner ice, to badly mix metaphors.
The story has legs. And affadavits.


Look what has happened this week:

Palin canceled Ca. tour.
They canceled meeting with Bono, did a phone in.
Palin has been hidden for weeks except for one 20 second photo op at UN.

And now McCain makes a face saving ( all right, to him face-saving) run for cover and cancels the ads.
If you get a chance to watch him on tv re-runs of his presser, he looks like a ghost.
He did not even stay to answer any questions.

Game over.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

71. Plus the Rick Davis -Fannie/Freddie scandal

He and his VP wannabe are crippled

[GinaMaria]

115. the hits have to keep on coming if

the McChicken campaign is going to unravel completely. Not sure what else can hit him this week except exposing him as a run away coward with manufactured self importance that isn't fooling anyone. Our only hope is the media being truthful about the stunt and not allowing Repub mouth pieces to drive their lame fake outrage and talking points.

[JerseygirlCT]

55. So, he's not only unprepared for the debate, he's also running low on funds? nt

[droidamus2]

56. Don't be fooled

Gee what better thing to do when Obama has the momentum and the economic crisis on his side than to get Obama to stop campaigning. Basically they don't have a handle on how to spin the economic 'crisis' so they want a time out while they figure out their next move.

[jeff30997]

57. WTF?

I have a bad feeling about this.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

58. Maybe the ads have to be reshot with the name of the new v.p. candidate

:evilgrin:

[msongs]

60. obama's meme - MCcain is afraid to face the american people live on TV to explain how r epubs have

run this country into the ground

Msongs
www.msongs.com/political-shirts.htm

[GinaMaria]

116. yep. There's no way he can face the American public

he can't handle the questions. Maybe this is an attempt to get the debate people to toss him softballs. Play gentle with McCorrupt or he will cancel the debate! Say goodbye to your advertising dollars!!!

[Tyler Generation]

63. McCain ad just played in Cincinnati

at about 7:05 pm.

[Politicub]

66. He's broke

What a stunt. It will get him some airplay, but a financial crisis has squat to do with advertising. How bizarre and desperate he looks!

[goclark]

125. How much did they save by canceling the 1st day of the

Rethuglican Convention?

That was fake too.

[bluesmail]

67. I wasn't looking forward to his *speaking* now I can't

wait to find out what they are up to NOW! Please not another * .

[ticapnews]

70. Bullshit

I just saw a negative ad on NESN (New Hampshire audience) during the Red Sox pre-game.

[cstanleytech]

72. Looks like a publicity stunt to me, he still gets plenty of free air time via the news

[GinaMaria]

118. No such thing as bad PR n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

75. The link explains ads cannot be stopped on a dime

and some will continue running as scheduled on some stations until tomorrow night.

[billyoc]

76. I hope the ad slots are all filled immediately so when his publicity stunt is over

he can't get them back. :rofl:

[AngryOldDem]

77. If he really gave a damn about the economy....

....he'd be cranking out ad after ad after ad focusing on the economy, and buying time on the national media and large markets to spread the word.

Something's happenin' here....what it is ain't exactly clear....

[Caution]

84. This is CRAP. I just saw one at 8:25 Eastern Time.

Pulled his ads my ass.

[otohara]

147. Huge Undertaking For National Reps

from all around the country at every TV/radio station to pull these ads at a moments notice. It's a stupid move and Obama should go in to every major battle state, buy up these open spots that McCain just let loose and by the time McCain wants back on the air, there will be slim pickings on the prime time spots.

[Mari3333]

85. what a drama queen. n/t

[GinaMaria]

119. LOL McDramaQueen!!! very good n/t

[downindixie]

86. Just maybe he is running out of money.I mean he lies about everything else

He could be running out of money and steam.He's an idiot anyway.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

87. One other unmentioned possibility

Heart attack, stroke, or other sudden debilitating physical crisis.

Has he been seen ANYWHERE since the announcement?

[GinaMaria]

120. smart guess

if he's aphasic, or having speech problems from a stoke... there's no way they can let him debate or speak in public.

[onenote]

130. He was on TV making the announcement

[ikojo]

88. McCain is pulling the old ads only to replace them

with new ads.

Don't trust these people. EVERYTHING is done for a political reason, EVERYTHING.

By pulling the ads, McCain appears more concerned with the financial crisis than his blind ambition to be president, he's putting "country first."

He's calculating, that's for sure.

[Jamastiene]

98. Bingo!

That is EXACTLY what he's aiming for by doing this.

[downindixie]

90. Mcbush's October surprise isn't working

His own people are turning against him!

[SpookyCat]

91. WHAT?????

That's all I have, WHAT???? This has made me sub-articulate...I'm sputtering...

I'm in the middle of a reimage...does anyone know off the top of their heads if this has ever happend before?

[Porschenut1066]

94. McCain knows he will loose debate and look like an idiot

So I say great let the debate go on but with only Obama and an empty chair. Ask the questions to Obama and then to the chair
This would be to McCain's advantage as the chair will not say anything stupid.

[GinaMaria]

109. so he chose to look like a coward instead n/t

[Porschenut1066]

123. McCain is a coward

You know what his nickname was in Vietnam Songbird. That's what the other POW's called him. He got special treatment because the Vietnamese considered him like royalty. He told them how important his Dad was.
He refused to leave Vietnam early because he did not know if he could face his fellow Americans again. Coward!
He made over 30 radio broadcasts condemning America and in support of the North Vietnamese.
He goes to pieces if he hears keys jingle.
He has worked hard to suppress all POW records. Infarct he has worked to make them confidential forever and not subject to the freedom of info act.
So what is he hiding? He's hiding the fact he was a collaborator with the North Vietnamese.
All the ex-pow's know what he is like. No one would care if he had actually been mistreated as a POW then made to do stuff but they say he was not and he got special treatment.
Any POW who was actually mistreated would not hug the prison guard who mistreated him McCain did!
He would say or do just about anything to stop them from doing any harsh treatment.
The man is a coward and he is showing once again this side of his personality in trying to get out of the debates with Obama.
McCain is a lier, and a coward. The man has no honor.

[harry_pothead]

134. You stole the words from my mouth.

The chair would debate better than McCain. It would probably be a better president too.

[Porschenut1066]

152. Its a cheap McCain Trick..

He says he will stop campaigning but actually he just keeps on campaigning just as much as before. Its the Lucy and Charlie Brown with the football trick. She keeps pulling the ball away just before he kicks it and he land flat on his back.
I do hope the Dems see through this trick.

[MJJP21]

95. Obama should

Obama should do the same. Regardless of McBushs strategy it looks bad if Barack continues to advertise when McBush does not. It is no different in a street fight when one person lays down . You don't go over and kick him.

[marions ghost]

99. yeah right

:shrug:

barack should take full advantage of the vacuum--FULL advantage.

Kick him to the curb.

[GinaMaria]

102. This is an election

If McChicken doesn't want to participate, he should consider withdrawing. This is nothing but chicken shit running away. Obama is here to lead, not run and hide behind Congress. The only thing that has changed is McCryptKeeper is down in the polls, more republicans have come out against him and he can't face the public at a debate with his voting record.

[Maineman]

96. tentative summary of possible explanations

Possible explanations, so far:

1) he has a medical problem

2) he needs to regroup after George Will wrote that he is unfit to be president.

3) they are going to replace Palin

4) they are going to replace McCain

5) it is coup time with marshall law and the whole ball of wax

6) he is doing what kids in jr high and high school sometimes do when they fear they will do poorly on a project - they do not show up, or they forget to turn it in.

7) he is making new ads

8) he has a financial problem

Number 5 obviously is the scary one. I have feared it for about 6 years.

[marions ghost]

101. whipping up fear & distraction

so they can get it all under control....

[GinaMaria]

103. Not a chance

The bush boy has cried 'wolf' too many times to be believed any more. His pillaging days are over.

[marions ghost]

105. I mean McCain campaign

n/t

[Poll_Blind]

106. Thanks for the list, Maineman!

BTW, Number 5 scares me too and probably like yourself I have vacilated back and forth between believing it was imminent or highly unlikely depending on what whatever his latest stunt was.

Thanks again,

PB

[cstanleytech]

131. You forgot some

9. its a stunt to drum up good free press

10. it lets mccain turn around later and use any ads the obama campaign runs against them later on perhaps in order to drum up the republican base.

[GinaMaria]

97. If you're not going to participate in the election

should you even be running for office? This just makes McCryptKeeper more irrelevant. This is the equivalent of "I'm taking my ball and going home" repukes are really sore losers.

[undeterred]

110. Maybe he is losing his mind.

[closeupready]

114. Seriously, that is what it seems like.

or else he's become ill (unfortunately). Who knows.

[Poll_Blind]

124. I'm thinking nervous breakdown- picking Palin was as clear sign as is possible...

...that he's bat-shit, for real.

PB

[FLyellowdog]

121. Does that mean all across the country?

I hope so cause I'm tired of changing the channel when they come on.

[truthisfreedom]

126. His ads sucked. SUCKED. And he sucks. So why can't he and his sucky ads live in harmony?

Can the last of the unicorns tell us, please?

[radfringe]

127. ads were still running Wednesday night in PA

right after bush was done with his deer in the headlights impression and regular programming resumed - there was a McCain attack ad on the tube.

It was attacking Obama about the bailout.

[ahem]

133. They were still running after 11pm in central FL last night , too

[radfringe]

135. my partner said they were still running this morning

she saw two of them before leaving for work

[Gin]

136. saw an ad running in Va Beach last night

[Lorien]

143. Same here in Florida

nonstop attack ads by McCain all evening.

[alcibiades_mystery]

138. Making a virtue of necessity

Rasmussen has Obama up in North Carolina.

McCain is near broke, and certainly can't keep up with Obama across the board.

[OnionPatch]

139. This is ridiculous. What difference does it make if the ads run?

I can see postponing a campaign stop for an important economic meeting or a vote on the bail-out package, but pulling ads seems totally unnecessary. I can see pulling ads in a situation of respect for a national figure who has died or if a lot of people had died during a horrible natural disaster, but this is none of those. Then again....Republicans DO care about money more than people, so maybe this is out of respect for the dead economy. :shrug:

[warpigs]

140. Just saw one in Milwaukee around 7:30am EOM

[OhioChick]

141. Still running them here in Ohio. n/t

[libertad]

154. I heard one on the radio on my way to work this morning.

n/t

[LeftHander]

142. Palin is out of control...Turned into hydra...nt

[bullwinkle428]

144. His ads were running late last night in Iowa (around 10:30 to 11:00 P.M.)

[Porschenut1066]

145. McCain claims to pull ads.....hahahahaha not true!

Ok here is the deal,McCain claims to pull all the ads. and asks the democrats to do the same except once that is done the mcCain people purchase all the democratic canceled air time so Obama can't get back on to the TV anywhere. Hows that for neocon thinking.
How do they pay for all that? Easy have a Wall St. firm agree to buy all that air time and then not pay and use the $700 billion to pay for it. Remember Neocon = Intellectual elite Ordinary folks = ignorant masses
So they think they are above the law and we are all stupid and they can get away with anything.
