Where are the Kerry Ads!!!!!
I am starting to get a bit annoyed. I live in PA and have been seeing one GWB ad after another. I have not seen ONE KERRY Ad since he was the nominee! What is going on? Why are they sitting on their hands? Don't they see that GWB's ads are having an effect???

Can anyone explain why there are no Kerry ads in such an important state as Pa?? I am really becoming concerned!

1. I think we're
seeing the effects of the Repubs HUGE warchest.

They have the money to get their message out early and often. I don't think Kerry has that big of a war chest and is "husbanding" his resources for later. It's risky and I'm a bit worried about it. Moveon.org and The Media Fund can help but this is, financially at least, a David vs Goliath battle.

2. None in AZ either
Like you I see one Bush ad after another and have yet to see one by Kerry. And they keep saying AZ will be a battleground state. You'd think Kerry would want some ads here.

3. Ads take money.
If you have some to spare, send it to Kerry or the DNC.

4. Team Bush is giving Kerry all the news he needs!
When your opponent is in a hole let him dig himself deeper!
Think of all these ads that will soon be forgotten as air coming out of a balloon.

6. Well here comes Bush's latest round...
These "Kerry wants to raise gas tax" ads will hurt Kerry. He better get out there. It's not all that difficult to put together some decent ads and get them on in swing states. I will not send another dime unless I start to see some fight!!!!

9. Remember that * will be spending the most money
in the states he is most afraid of losing. The states that are likely to go to Kerry will see few Kerry ads. Each team attacks at the others vulnerabilities. As Pa comes into play you will definitely see a Kerry response.

5. Probably waiting on the Kerry campaign contributions
His warchest is a little thin.

To many dems, the only good thing about Kerry is that he isn't Bush*, and its harder to write checks to an ABB candidate than one you are fired up about.

8. Good question. It IS a bit distressing
I just watched a Bushevik Scum from PA telling lies to the Imperial Subjects, who ate the lies up with a spoon.

Where is the response? Have we learned NOTHING?

There are NO chances after this one. None.

America will be dead and forgotten by all by the Legion of Liars who's job will be to convince the Imperial Subjects they are still free.

I don't envy them that most Soviet of tasks, though it's hard to be sympathetic to the sycophantic toadies who's abandonment of the proper performeance of their jobs has helped in no small measure to lead Amerika to Tyranny.

10. Let them play their hand...
We know where the Republicans are focused now. Sometimes it works best to let the other side do their worst and then blow them out of the water.

BTW, I've seen loads of independent ads... from MoveOn and others. The little sponsor statement they have to give lets people know that these are not from the party machines but from citizen groups. There aren't any of those from the Republican side coming out.

I think Americans have short memories, and the last thing they hear is the thing they will remember. I really get pretty much turned off by campaign ads this early. I don't even want to hear them until after the conventions, and prefer not to hear them until September and October. I don't think I'm that unusual a person in that respect...?
