Hey! This blog talks about tv ads from both campaigns. McCain uses mostly ads that use backgrounds involving tanks, Islamic extremes, and stormy seas to show that he would be a safer choice. He never gives up on his negative campaigning. One commercial shows McCain isn't alone; It says Obama will provide a tax cut of $1,000 to middle class people if you make exactly $60,000. McCain would only give you $150. Republicans are supposed to try to lower taxes while democrats would raise them. He also argues about many other economic issues. They both argue through an endless streak of argument about what they care most about. Obama gets yet another edge with a nearly endless supply of resources compared to McCain's resources. I thought to myself when I read that, "Obama probably gathered a greater amount of resources because he had more donations etc. He probably got his donations from people who will vote (or already voted) for him. If enough people vote for him he'll win and the people who donated almost guarantee a vote for him so that's good news for Obama fans like me." Many ads get positioned for the most part in a single or group of states. For example, Florida falsely accuses McCain of high costs of Medicare. Certain places in Colorado and Pennsylvania accused McCain of supporting businesses that ship over seas. Obama used his resources to buy him a 30-minute commercial on CBS, NBC, Fox, and Univision. He spent 5 million dollars on it. My conclusion, Obama gained a slight advantage over McCain in some areas but this race could go either way.

Obama had some very big leads in many states, now McCain is gaining. We'll just have to see on Tues.
Now, after the fact, I can see even more clearly how close this race seemed to be but as soon as Obama won Ohio, I knew it was over. He also won FL, which gave him EVEN MORE of a chance!
