Look at it like this...it was aimed at undecideds and for those who STILL aqt this point 'don't know' what Obama's plans are if they watched should have a better idea now.

I thought if nothing else, it was a good idea without debate atmosphere or some kind of circus going on, know what his plans are.


Cracker, here is the exact quote I was looking for:

"It used to be that only rain or some other act of God could delay the World Series," he {McCain} said. "But I guess network executives figured an Obama infomercial was close enough."

The Obama campaign did not ask that the game be delayed, said a spokesman for Fox, which broadcasts the World Series.

and after seeing what happened last night, the game would have been over on Monday anyways....not to mention is was one of the lowest rated World Series in recent history.
