NEW YORK -- John Kerry will begin his post-Labor Day advertising blitz in seven states from New Hampshire to New Mexico, his political Ground Zero for a $50 million campaign scheduled to expand into another 13 states by Nov. 2.
In a rare advanced buy, the Democratic campaign began reserving air time Wednesday night in Ohio, Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Wisconsin, according to Democratic officials familiar with the buy. Ads begin airing Friday in Ohio, then next week in the other six states.
The campaign also was buying air time through Nov. 2 in Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Maine, Michigan, Arizona, Louisiana, Colorado, Arkansas and North Carolina and West Virginia. They won't see ads until later this fall.
The $50 million is more than half of the about $90 million that Kerry has at his disposal between now and Nov. 2. On top of the massive downpayment, officials said the campaign has budgeted an undisclosed amount of money to pour into key states later in the fall.
I'm sure the October surprise from the Swift Boat folks will make mincemeat of Kerry. And it won't cost them anywhere near $50 million.
FReepers are key in getting the word out about the righteousness of the SBVFT by exposing Kerry's FRAUD.
Swiftee window sticker thread - get yours! Freep mail for details.
What a waste of $50 Million! That would buy a lot of spitballs!
So is blit singular for blitz?
We'll just let the Swifties spend another $20. That should adequately counter Kerry's $50 million.
Anyone care to bet that the some of the ads will show John McCain's comments from tonight on NBC?
What about the 60 day rule? I thought that political campains could not advertise within 60 days of an election?
If you keep picking on me, I will cry.
BUMP...
How much whipped cream do you need to put on a hot sh*t sundae for it to taste good?
I submit that $50 MM will buy more than a single blit.
;)
Advertising don't work. People are too smart nowadays. Nobody buys heavily advertised products any more. Remember Coca Cola, Ford, Microsoft, Nike? Gone and forgotten!
If I had donated money to Kerry I think I would ask for it back based on fraud...
LOL!! The donations made to support the Swiftees is the best spent political contribution I ever made in my life!
Kerry is better off saving the 50 mil. for his next run as block warden.
What do people believe the October surprise will be? (Inquiring minds want to know....)
I'm sending more to the SwiftVets now.
Couldn't the post-Labor Day funds best go towards hurricane victims?
The RAT so-called party DOES know how to waste plenty of loot...
