"Vote for Me" Brought to you by...

Sen. Barack Obama will soon deliver a 30-minute address on television - it's technically an advertisement ($150 million in new campaign money can buy a heck of a lot), but it is clearly Obama's last big campaign push before the election (FINALLY).

Notwithstanding your political views, do you think this is ethical? Should John McCain be given a similar opportunity to provide his own life story and offer his own campaign message, uninterrupted for one half hour?

My pro-1st Amendment stance tells me it should be OK, but at the same time, Obama will likely reach a broad collction of voters/TV viewers with this ad. Should McCain have the same opportunity even though he lacks the cash?
