Barack Obama American Stories Airs Tonight

In a move which smacks of "screw you John McCain, I have more money than you", Barack Obama will air half-hour long informercial tonight during the pregame of the World Series Game 5/6. The buy cost $3 million, and after a record-breaking $150 million month in September, the Obama for America campaign feels justified that there is no such thing as too much publicity when you're running for President of the US. Unlike the past couple Democratic Presidential candidates, Obama has learned that even when leading your opponent in polling in the last week of the election season you can never coast into an election lest you are doomed to failure by overconfidence.

For more information, check out Huffington Post's article, "Obama's Prime Time TV Commercial: A Preview", and of course tune in tonight to CBS, NBC, Fox, BET, MSNBC, Univision & TV One at 8:00pm EST to watch "Barack Obama: American Stories". This made-for-TV event is part infomercial and part testimonial, will primarily feature vignettes of people and families whom Obama has met during his nearly two-year campaign, and will include a live component from a campaign rally in Florida at the very end of the show. The show may also feature American leaders talking about why Obama is the right leader for the USA at this time.
