Obama ad won't air on ABC
The Obama campaign has put a line in the sand regarding which networks will broadcast its prime-time campaign advertisement air on Wednesday night. The campaign has passed on ABC, which will be showing a new episode of Pushing Daisies against the ad to be shown on CBS, NBC, Fox and Univision at 8 p.m.If the Obama campaign was going to pass on a network, you'd think it would be Fox since Fox News is the mortal enemy of his political party. What does the campaign have against the House of the Mouse? You can't get more American than Mickey.
Perhaps ABC has a large liberal demographic and the campaign is going for the swing vote rather than the sure thing. All this is only postulation, of course.
Mark my words: this is going to be a ratings bonanza for Pushing Daisies. And all the new viewers will probably lean politically to the right. To clinch it, they should have Bill O'Reilly as a guest star that night.
