Ad Disclosure
The Obama Campaign Paid 6 ABC $40,000 for an Ad During the Eagles Monday Night Football Game

President Obama wants to reach you, disgruntled Eagles fans.
From Yinzer Tim McNulty of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette comes this 6 ABC invoice to the Obama campaign for a 60-second ad during the upcoming Eagles-Saints Monday Night Football game, the night before the election. MNF is obviously an ESPN production, but it will be aired locally on WPVI as well.
The ad looks like it can run anytime between 8:30 and 11:30. But Obama supporters may want to cross their fingers for the former, because the Eagles may very well be down 20 by the fourth quarter.
Obama was unavailable for comment, but I’m hearing that Jason Babin wishes the CIC would stop saying such vile things about Mittens.
