Moore buried under TV ad barrage
Pollutico ^ | 11/27/2017 | DANIEL STRAUSS and SCOTT BLAND

Posted on 11/27/2017 7:18:59 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Doug Jones and Roy Moore both released new television ads on Monday. But many Alabama voters will see only one of them.

That’s because of the massive disparity in TV ad spending between the two candidates in the Alabama special election to a Senate seat, where Jones, the Democratic candidate, is outspending Moore roughly 7-to-1.

The imbalance is stunning, with just two weeks to go in the campaign: Jones has aired more than 10,000 spots on broadcast TV in Alabama since the primaries, while Moore, the embattled GOP candidate, has run just over 1,000, according to figures compiled by Advertising Analytics.

“I saw probably 40 to 50 Doug Jones ads, and I saw one Roy Moore ad” over the Thanksgiving break, said Daniel Deriso, an aide to Democratic Birmingham Mayor-elect Randall Woodfin.

Fueled by millions of online dollars pouring in to defeat Moore, Jones’ campaign has flooded the airwaves with over $5.6 million of TV ads overall during in the general election campaign. Moore has answered with about $800,000 in ad spending, according to Advertising Analytics.

I love it when the Dems waste their own money. Usually they waste our money, but Trump is cutting their allowances.

Thanks for properly calling the site Pollutico -- that's what I called them ever since they torpedoed the late Sen. Fred Thompson's primary run with false rumors he was pulling out.

This will help Moore prepare for an uptick in leftist fury when he wins.

Mitch outspent Moore 15-1. 30 million. And still could not win.

If this were 1976 I’d be worried.

the news outlets might realize they could sell more ads (ratings) AFTER the election if Moore wins.

The sudden accusations against Moore are just like the attacks against Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, Donald Trump and many others which have no proof so far. the Democrats like Bill Clinton are free to rape at will and no real news coverage. What gives?

The reality is, political TV ads really don't change anyone's mind.

If anything they probably turn voters off.

well, that’s the goal. there aren’t many minds left to change. depress republican turn out, and scare their voters to the poll in droves.

I don’t know if it’s going to work, but that’s obviously the plan.

Never Trumpers and drive by media TV and radio talk hosts were having a field day ignoring the fact that all of the accusers were of the age of legal consent. Including the one claiming when 14* years old. For her accusations are the juiciest. All of which Moore denied. Because they hinted at and Moore was actually accused by a group of being a “Pedafile” .
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603749/posts *claim disproved see links below.
A result after the above being gleefully reported and dwelled on by CNN and the media alphabet soup as well as never Trumpers in a touchy feel-ly manner. As if it came off of a never given or made police report which requires a sworn complaint.

All the accusations against Moore originate and are quoted from media sources which support positions like : Abortion, gender sex reclassification, gay marriage, and nullification of religious influence on culture. All of which are solidly opposed by candidate Roy Moore.

Despite that fact and that it has been uncovered that his accusers are working for the Perversion Party and that their accusations are false and politically motivated. The drivebys and the nevers media are not reporting this. but are mentioning one accuser is a “Republican” then when examined turns out to be questionable.

Worse yet even though these accusations have been solidly refuted. The general public relying on certain venues including talk show hosts are not being told what’s been uncovered. .

Bill Cunningham on his Sunday 9 to 12 pm show 11/19 who consistently goes off half cocked never brings up the forged yearbook or the backgrounds on Moore’s accusers but announces he thinks Moore was attracted to teens of consenting age and didn’t do anything illegal.
Ben ? Shapiro substituting for Mark Levine on 11/22 proclaimed he wouldn’t vote for either if he was voting on the Alabama race even though he admitted he knew about the forgery but dismissed it. .

Here is a background on 5 accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14*. But was actually 16 at the time ?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603606/posts Restaurant rape attempt accusation disproven http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3607731/posts
Alred charge : Grad book signature a forgery; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604591/posts link shows someone named Roy or Ray signed it.Then Moore’s last name was added to it in a blue colored ink. His legal secretary at the time he was a Circuit Court Judge declared it a forgery because her initials; DA, appeared with his signature in that year book. Because she would verify his signature Moore / DA /date only on his court rulings .Which is what that forgery was copied from .http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3608349/posts
It’s been reported that CNN reproduced and showed the page in question in one colored ink; black.

Disciplined ex Gasden police officer Lt Gary accusation Moore was banned from local shopping center for skirt chasing cheerleaders and other charges were politically motivated and are lies.
