Ads As Cable Soundbites

That's what it's getting to. McCain is getting the media air his Hillary ads for him:

In the press releases accompanying each new ad, the McCain team pledges to air them in “key states.” But don’t expect to see many show up in battleground state living rooms.

Obama is doing the same:

Those recent commercials raking McCain over the coals for his troubles enumerating the houses he owns? They’ve received abundant attention on the news channels, but there’s no sign yet that they are on the air otherwise.
