Question

Why does wingnut rag Newsmax still have all these dumb web ads saying things like "Is Obama Finished? Vote Now!" all over the blogosphere? I think they went up around the time Reverend Wright went platinum (maybe four months ago?), and they've just kind of lingered there. Are they, perhaps, so bad that they're good? That is, so dumb and mysterious (finished? the guy has led in nearly every public opinion poll for two months) that people click on them and... then... become fully paid up Newsmax subscribers. Seems implausible. Maybe they just have ridiculously long-term wed-ad contracts.
