Who watches 30 minute infomercials?

I wonder that every time I see 115 of them turn up in my cable listings.

Re: Whoever is running the Romney SuperPAC should stop wasting money in Maine. Why are they running ads in Maine?

What a monumental waste of money! Are McCain campaign advisors now “helping” Romney?

Not that I’m old enough to remember or anything.

I remember Lyndon LaRouche used to inflict his insanity on us with more paid blocks than anybody else.

Why are they running ads in Maine??

Because of the single electoral vote up for grabs.

Just a guess but the Super Pac analysts probably don’t believe the polls in Maine one way or the other and are trying to beat KIng in the Senate race ~

I wish they would consider 10 minute infomercials and they would carpet them- even if you were going to change the channel you might get a bite of something. 1/2 hour just does not seem like the right way to go to me. The concept is terrific - I just think better use of the cash to go with the shorter ones...

-— So the rumors are true. Mitt sat on his piles of cash so as to crush him in the last 2 weeks. Karma’s a BEEEE-YAATCH! -—

Right on, right on.

It’s the habits of good planning and due diligence learned in decades of corporate leadership, versus the profligacy of a lazy, ignorant, armchair Marxist.

Excellent. I sent an email a few weeks ago pleading for them to do some 30 minute infomercials ala Perot style and updated from a white board to a SMART board and a big pointer!!! Bet they’ve received hundreds of requests! Since I don’t live in a battleground state . . . I’ll have to settle for youtube. At the time when I sent the email, I looked up the cost for Perot’s and it wasn’t that high . . . I don’t recall but the 2 or 3 he did each were less than 100K each. I don’t recall what station(s) they were aired on but I think he did them nationwide.

look up the ratings for Perot, a third party candidate, in 1992. I imagine for an R, the ratings would much stronger. He has the money, so why not?

I’m glad to see Romney embark on an ad blitz; but do “undecided” voters have a 30-minute attention span?

Does anybody else remember the “Obama Channel” that ran 24/7 on Dish network in ‘08?
Yes, I was going to ask the same questions. It was 24/7 and made me ill, but the straw that broke the camel's back was about the same time they took away the Military channel (Armed Forces Network) and then had the nads to tell me I never should have had it. Buh Bye.

With facts and figures . . . he might change a few minds and get their votes for an even bigger win. Some folks need it spelled out for them in black and white and not in 30 second spots. Maybe. Like I said, he has the money, why not?
