Obama buys time on the networks, pushing World Series back

03:13 PM PT, Oct 15 2008
Major League Baseball agreed Wednesday to push back the start time of Game 6 of the World Series by about 15 minutes so that Fox Broadcasting Co. could sell Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama half an hour of prime time on Oct. 29.
The campaign also has bought the same time period -- 8 p.m. on Oct. 29 -- on CBS and NBC so that he can run a 30-minute program on all of the networks. Each network is selling the time for between $950,000 to $1 million. Buying time on all of the major broadcast networks would allow Obama to reach more than 20 million people on the Wednesday before the election. A spokesman for Fox said the network will make available a similar 30-minute block of time for the Republican candidate, Sen. John McCain, if he chooses. Time for McCain would be either later that night (if there is no Game 6) or the following evening.
Major League Baseball did not have an immediate comment.

That's a smart move.

The dude has the cash to do things like that. McCain doesn't. Obama really has learned quite a bit about proper campaigning over the last 2 years. Good on him.

That will probably be some of the best money spent in the campaign, not only for Obama but for all the democrats running this time out. McCain just can't compete.
