		<description>Add them to the deadpool. They&#039;ve been at this for years. How much revenue are they doing? My guess is that it&#039;s a lot smaller than most may think.</description>

		<description>JosefVirek: I&#039;m wondering why you think it won&#039;t scale. They&#039;re using generic video ads as templates and it&#039;s simple matter to modify a few frames for each customer. Since the ads will be run on local TV, there shouldn&#039;t be any worry that someone will see the same ad template for different candidates. From a financials standpoint, compared to the thousands of dollars normally spent to create and place a video spot on TV, $500 seems like a bargain.

If anything, the challenge will be to get the local politicians to take notice and give it a shot. The voter media map was a good idea - anything to help the campaign managers feel confident about how they spend campaign money will give a lot more credibility.

		<description>facebook chat is here, seconds ago i noticed a link saying &#039;open facebook chat&#039; on the top menu, between inbox and home links, the link was not live and had this misfit into the menu, when i refreshed the page it disappeared.
it has this little sign in front of it, like two squares one behind the other, one blue one gray i guess:)
i think chat will be live in few hours</description>

		<description>Do they have a template for a politician that landed in Bosnia and had to courageously dodge sniper fire? That would be really useful.

Also, does SpotRunner take credit cards? I&#039;m a little short on cash right now.</description>
