Tonight Senator Obama’s 30-minute ad spots on CBS, NBC and FOX for $1 million a pop. Looks like ABC will be running that ad at a different time.

I am scouring the blogs and news sites to see how the ad was received. Was it too much? Did it work? Here’s what they’re saying…

Politico: Tonight’s Obama infomercial was about what you’d have expected – thematically strong, with good production values and a solid performance by the candidate – though we wonder how many votes it will actually move.

New York Times: The infomercial appeared to serve a safe, workmanlike purpose. With no attacks on Mr. McCain…

Huffington Post: Five reasons the infomercial was worth the cost.

Townhall: This is a dramatic change from his previously stated tax plan.

The Nation: Before he dismissed it as a “gauzy, feel-good commercial,” John McCain really should have watched the thirty-minute television program that Barack Obama’s campaign aired Wednesday night.

WSJ: The spot also highlighted the struggles of everyday Americans.

The Hill: Republican rival John McCain did not make the final cut.
