Spending after conventions

Obama should have a big cash advantage after the RNC once McCain gets locked into the public financing. That's why McCain is spending "like heck" on ads right now trying to use up his cash on hand. I heard on the Obama Network this morning that Obama's campaign team plan to spend a lot of their money on the 48 hour ground team right before the election. Do you look for the Republican National Committee to cover the difference or how will this play out?

I would imagine they'll be spending like heck in Virginia, Colorado, NM, Nevada.

I also expect a record "homeless" turnout!

A dollar can go a long way with them.

Yep. I expect a fleet of Oba-mobiles rounding them up and taking them to the polls.

I just heard on the radio that Karl Rove called Lieberman and told him to take his name out of contention to be VP. Who the hell does Rove think he is? I thought McCain didn't like Rove after getting swift Roved in the previous election. I was kind of hoping ole Joe would be on the ticket.

No, I'm listening to Dan Patrick but it was one of those updates that come on at the top of each hour. It is either CBS or CNN. I can't remember but know it is one of those two.

I like Joe L. I agree it seems odd the Rove would make such a call.

You know we usually listen to our Pearl Jam and Ben Harper CD's instead of talk radio. That's the only reason it's struggling.

I almost can't watch the main networks here because there is a campaign ad every commercial break. It's like a bad dream
