— Ace In play.
This is an ad purchase aimed at securing Michigan; it is not aimed at crossing into Ohio or any other state. DetroitÂ’s radio market runs into Monroe County which borders the Buckeye State, but it does not cross over, as some metropolitan media markets do.
And Geraghty adds that it's an expensive ad market. You don't play there for fun.

I think this is a dumb move because I assume that if they've lost MI, they've lost, period.
The only thing I can think of is that their voters are so dispirited they're desperate to increase turnout.

Nothing is in the bag until it's in the bag. This is still a jump ball election with millions of dead people. felons, Obamaphone dolts and illegal aliens still in Barky's corner to vote.
GOTV! Keep the pressure on relentlessly until the last poll closes.

Remember in 2008 the JEF won states no one expected and that saw little campaigning.
Which ones for Romney this time?
I say NM, MI, PA and WI.
On top of VA, FL, NC, OH, CO, NV and NH.

I'm guessing the Obama campaign is looking over their internals right about now and giving each other lots of meaningful glances. They're looking at--if not a Reagan/Mondale blowout--then an inverse of the Obama/McCain numbers of 2008. They're desperate. They've blown most of their money and are spending what's left in states they thought they'd never have to defend. If there's an October Surprise coming--a real election-bending October Surprise and not some Allred-like idiocy--they would've played it by now, a week before the election.
I don't know about any of you but the idea of these people being desperate and frantic has me worried. These are the same people, after all, who are responsible for Fast and Furious and the Benghazi coverup. The American far-Left has spent years, decades, clawing their way to power, and I simply don't believe they're willing to give up that power as the result of a free and fair election.
Say you're David Axelrod and President Obama calls you into the Oval Office. He says he wants a game-changing idea and he wants it now. Let's posit you aren't tied down by the constraints of conventional morality or antiquated notions of fair play. Let's go even farther and stipulate that you would do absolutely anything to win this thing. What do you do? What's your recommendation?

For starters, I fix Oregon. All mail voting with signatures on file. Send them off to a printer. "Lose" ballots during the "signature verification" step for known Republicans.
Push for New York et al to get "more time". Hit print there too.
Do the same in Washington and California. Check the other states for anywhere with easy mail-in or absentee ballots. Even losing the electoral college, this should end up with a significant chunk of people. Enough to make a crushing popular victory.
And then stir the pot hard.

The quick and dirty would be just to do unto them as they would do unto us, but we're better than that.
Starve them of our money. A paradigm for this strategy might be Planned Parenthood. They should get exactly zero $ from any public treasury. If we do our part, they will still probably have enough money to jet every baby-killing mama to Paris (where non-Muslim pregnancies will soon face mandatory abortion) for a 10-day abortion-and-shopping vacation. You accept an Planned Parenthood abortion? Sorry, we pull your Section-8, your welfare, your food stamps, your government healthcare,your subway tokens, your cab-ride vouchers, etc.
Similarly, for weak-minded local school districts, you want that Federal bribe to teach same-sex "marriage"? Sorry, buy your own shoulder pads for your football program.
Highways? So effed up, we should just eliminate the gas tax. Mobility, like safety, is its own reward. Those concerned should pony-up.

Sure, maybe Team O can hope and pray that things will get better for them, and a few more days means more hope. But why do you think there's been such an all-out (unprecedented) push for "early voting"? I think Team O knew a Romney surge was likely to grow. And especially: they know that news of Benghazi is just going to keep spreading and spreading. They needed as many Obama voters as possible to be locked down and vote *yesterday*. Giving voters yet more days to decide on their vote-- that's more likely to hurt Obama than to help him. (Their only hope is a "Sandy" surge for Obama, but that seems a slim hope to me.)

Radio and TV stations deal with political campaigns by making them pay cash in advance. Enough radio and TV stations have been burned by candidates not paying, that they make sure the check clears before the ads start.
At least that was what we had to do back when I was in radio, and I am sure there are some radio stations that don't care if Obama stiffs them.

It's called "Devils Night."
And if Detroit gets leveled, will anyone notice? I don't think so.
In fact, there are so many abandoned crack houses, I think many see this as an "opportunity" to get rid of the houses the city won't. Because they're busy.... doing I don't know what. But not helping anyone who lives there.
So burn away. We're all OK with it here.
Just as long as they leave the theater district alone.

Can EBT cards be used for toilet paper and paper towels? My neighbor used his EBT at a local strip club? Is this for real?
EBT cards can be used for anything. They've been tracked at casinos and cruise ships. Even if the gubamint cracks down on where they can be used, people sell them on the street for less than their dollar value. Our local news did an expose of this. People take the cash and go buy drugs or booze.
Posted by: runningrn at October 30, 2012 03:56 PM (Uw091)
Mass Republican boycott. Let Obama win with an absurd 80% of the vote and negligible turnout in Red States. Local races elect Tea Party types with that turnout.
Prove that Obama isn't the enemy; it's the entire DC machine that's the occupying force.

I'm starting to have a really, really good feeling about this election.
Could we sweep the "toss-up" senate races, and make it to 53 seats? (54 if Brown wins reelection -- which it's starting to feel like he might, polls notwithstanding. Obama depression may keep a lot of Dems home on election day here in Massachusetts.)

Tim Kaine has been running as a "I'll work with whoever is President" theme. Allen is hitting him back on being Barky's DNC chair and biggest shill until 6 months ago. He has been running these ads since September, so he must have seen the real numbers for the Commonwealth since Warner pretty much ran as a surrogate for Obama in 08.

Here in the People's Soviet Socialist Republic of Commiefornia, EBT cards don't work in strip clubs any longer.
That was turned off by Arnie der Groppenfuhrer, in one of the handful of meritorious public policy actions he undertook as Governator.
If I recall correctly, it took him until his last year in office to get around to doing so. Despite it having been scandalously obvious even before he went to Sack-ramento.

Over the weekend, Facebook took down a message by the Special Operations Speaks PAC (SOS) which highlighted the fact that Obama denied backup to the forces being overrun in Benghazi.
...
Ward said Facebook pulled the re-posted meme down within 7 or 8 hours and suspended the SOS account for 24 hours.

Since Arbitron's radio markets and tv markets are pretty closely aligned, they use them as a guide as to what radio stations to buy. If you want to buy CBS, NBC, etc, you have to buy the local stations, you cannot be on "The Voice" or "Dancing With The Stars" by buying cable, and you can't get local by buying satellite. Local cable will get you on ESPN and Lifetime, but unless it is a "big event" show, your local network stations deliver the most bang.

If any of the salespeople who actually do the placement of the ads want to get paid a commission, they have to actually collect the money.
The Dems don't make ad buys to payoff contributors. I actually worked in radio for a big Dem contributor and he used to get pissed that he didn't get their ad buys. There are some broadcasters though that didn't mind getting stiffed by the Dems for running their advertising. They usually would get helped by the state or other government by getting ad buys from the lottery or some other government advertising.

246 - Reagan DID campaign in Minnesota - scheduled a last-minute trip into Rochester (Mayo Clinic) on November 4, 1984...He didn't view it as "humiliating" Mondale, he saw it as "when I look at a map of our country, I don't see a state we can't win". I wish Romney would adopt the same attitude - and it would help him govern.

Here in Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren has two ads currently running that speak to this question:
- In the first, it's all about President Obama calling Elizabeth Warren a tireless warrior for the middle class, or some such.
- In the second, it's all about how if Scott Brown wins reelection, he could be the vote that hands the Senate to the Republicans -- allowing them to confirm a Supreme Court nominee who would overturn Roe v Wade.
No one seems to have commented on the fact that the second ad seems to assume that President Romney will be nominating Supreme Court justices for the next several years.

Why these four? None have especially large urban black populations who will go 95% for Obama. All of them have people hit hard by gas prices because there is no alternative to cars for most residents plus Maine & MN lead the nation in gas powered toys like snowmobiles and boats respectively. New Mexico was a battleground state in 2000 and 2004. In both NM and OR there is a sizable block of Mormons who are not only likely to vote in mass for Romney but many are busy working GOTV operations for the Republicans. New Mexico is also about 40% Catholic while Maine and Minnesota are about 25% Catholic. Oregon is less socially conservative but are the many libertarians there really going to vote 3rd party if that means four more years of Obama?

This is probably a dead thread but I'll post anyway. Our local FM stations die out somewhere near Toledo but we have a few AM stations that can be heard almost halfway into Ohio. Upthread people wondered why things were expensive in Michigan. One word: Unions. Food is relatively cheap but everything else costs more than many states.
