Barack Obama's Ad Campaign Goes From Puerto Rico to a Video Game
Is it really possible that Barack Obama's presidential campaign has so much money that it just doesn't know where to spend it all?
I was in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, over the weekend and was bombarded with Obama ads (apparently John McCain wants to tax my health benefits while Barack Obama wants to give everyone tax cuts). They came, to the best of my recollection, either on cable news networks or during football games, so I can only assume that they were national ads (rather than air time bought in a territory without a vote in the election), but nevertheless, it was notable.
But then again, Puerto Rico is at least a real location. The picture below comes from the video game Burnout Paradise (hat-tip to TPM), and yes, the Obama campaign paid for that billboard space. Talk about money to burn.
