AP reports that:
"Readers of Ohio's three largest newspapers, along with papers in Florida and Nevada, will find an anti-Obama DVD included in editions this week.
"Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., plans to release a 95-minute film in the five swing-state publications to highlight Obama's record on abortion rights, foreign policy and associations. The group said it planned to spend more than $1 million to distribute about 1.25 million copies of Hype: The Obama Effect."
Remember Obsession? This sounds like its coming from the same deep pockets.
"Anybody who doesn't think John McCain can defeat Barack Obama by focusing on real issues is somebody who hasn't seen Citizens United's latest documentary tour de force, Hype: The Obama Effect." -- American Spectator
I haven't seen the film, but the trailer, obviously meant to be scary, isn't going to scare anybody but bigots and the "Palin base."
If the DVD lives up to this hype, it seems unlikely to make the slightest dent in Obama's support. But it may persuade some agoraphobic wingnuts to overcome their fear of leaving the house on 11/4. If the entire million-dollar mailing were to produce 100 McCain votes, I'd be surprised.
