No kidding! He actually said it again! And he's 10 points down! You can't make this stuff up. THIS should tell you all you need to know about the campaign:

I'm getting a tiny sense of hostility, and I don't care for it. We're on the same side here. 2. Yes, I get what you meant in your original post. 3. Kevin corrected himself in his comments and said that he now thinks the ads were national buys. 4. So, to quote Emily Litella, "never mind." 1.

Well, big enough that I've actually seen a few Obama ads myself. In California. I guess maybe they were national ad buys, but I don't think so. And I can hardly remember the last time I saw a presidential campaign bothering to advertise in California. (Maybe for a few days in 2000 when Karl Rove was having delusions that Bush might win here? That's all that comes to mind.) “Anyway, I don't quite know what this means, but Obama must really have money to burn if he's buying ads here in the Golden State.” http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2008/10/obamas_ads.html Oliver,
