Democratic Doug Jones is reportedly outspending Republican Roy Moore 7-1 in TV ad spending with just two weeks to go in the Alabama race to fill the Senate seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Jones has aired over 10,000 spots on broadcast TV in Alabama since the primaries; Moore has run just over 1,000 of his own, according to figures compiled by Advertising Analytics, Politico reported.
Politico reported the disparity is the result of millions of online dollars pouring in to defeat Moore; Jones’ campaign has hit the airwaves with over $5.6 million of TV ads overall during in the general election campaign.
Moore’s campaign has run about $800,000 in TV ads, according to Advertising Analytics, Politico reported.

Waste of money George / Mitch.
Well, my point of view is probably shared by many Alabamians.
Having my TV viewing pleasure interrupted, bombarded, and inundated wit political ads make me automatically hate the candidate being touted, and causes me to vote for the other guy.
One an hour is enough, two barely tolerable, and any more than that, totally alienating.
How much of the ad campaign is paid for by McConnel or the RNC?
“online dollars” ...
Yeah, the national Dems are laundering their heavy financial support for Jones to fool those Alabamians.
“Leigh Corfman, Roy Moore Accuser, retained a law firm, before WP obtained their “scoop”. The firm is headed by Edgar Gentle who happens to also be the Treasurer for the Alabama Democrat Party. 100% political hit job. There’s your answer who gave them “victims”.

By the way, I looked this up and it’s true that the firm representing Corfman is headed by the Alabama Democrat Party treasurer.
This is only gonna add to Judge Moore’s victory margin. When he wins on election night the vitriol then by the Dems, Repuke sellouts, and the MSM will only get worse.
I bet more wins by at least 10
Nazi playbook through and through. The big lies. The threats. The propaganda war. And yes the big money pushing this krap at us too. Imho, this war against Judge Moore has sorozNazi written all over it.
But But, she said that she voted for Trump/sarc
“How much of the ad campaign is paid for by McConnel or the RNC?”
All of it, either directly, or through their allied PACs, and big bucks donors!
And that is why none of us should ever give the RNC, NRSC or NCSCa blanking dime! The last time one of them called me I blasted them so bad that they hung up on me! But that does get you onto their “do not call” list.
Very good point.
I see Jones’ ads all the time.
Basically talking about how moderate he is and how he welcomes working with Republicans. If you see them often enough I guess you might start to believe the lies.
Moore does need to point out what a radical leftist Jones is. Tell what his real position is on abortion, gun control, etc.
Oh my..It sounds like Moore might lose if those ads are making folk take another look at the lair rat!! Moore doesn’t have that kind of dole ratio to compete gainst jones $!! Please tell me folk there aren’t falling for it!!! Pleassse!!!
Isn’t the DNC broke? In debt?
Being from the state, I’ll make these two observations.
1. In the 5PM to 7PM time-period, it’s typically about 50-percent car sales commercials, and maybe 10-percent furniture sales. Most folks have the mute button ready and hit it now when the commercials come up. So viewing these commercials probably isn’t going to be big deal.
2. In essence, to make this work...you have to go and convince at least 10-percent of the Moore-voters to vote Democrat. I just don’t see that happening.
What the Democrats needed was a black Senator candidate, and go make this a big campaign about getting the black vote out. If they had done that and used this fake woman problem with Moore, then I think they might have won the election. Blacks don’t connect to Jones. There’s no reason for Blacks to show up in high numbers in the state and vote for a one-single topic election (Senator-only).
Oh, and I agree....all of this political ad stuff is a joke. They are flushing tons of money down the drain to get this one single Senator chair.
That’s what I’m thinking too. Oh, the meltdown the MSM and the rest of the Deep State will have on the night of December 12th will be epic!
I stopped giving to the RNC nearly two decades ago.
If they call me, I will give them the same answer you did.
So what kind of ads are they? Are they just slinging dirt, or pointing out genuine policy differences? If the former then I would think most fair-minded people would be turned off by a dirtball throwing dirtballs, and Jones loses votes. If the latter then I find it hard to believe that the people of Alabama would choose to cast their lot with a pro-abortion, pro-illegal immigration, radical leftist, and Jones loses votes. Moore has to go on the offensive and frame the choice in those terms. Do they really want to send a mudslinging leftist to the Senate under their state flag?
