Who said John McCain is letting Barack Obama steer the election news cycle? Fine, everybody, but this latest bit of news out of the McCain campaign shows a certain Republican can administer some agenda setting of his own: McCain will spend $6 million on television advertising during the Olympics. Put another way, McCain will foot 0.67 percent of NBC's $894 million payment to broadcast the Olympics. Of course, this announcement comes after Obama already announced he'd be spending $5 million during the Olympics, so McCain is, um, once again letting Obama set the election news cycle. And then trying to one-up him. Of course, this represents both candidates tacitly endorsing the Olympics, NBC's decision to broadcast it, and China's horrendous civil rights record.
