Exclusive: Hillary’s first ad buy
Source: Politico
Hillary Clinton is reserving time for her first major ad buys of the 2016 campaign shelling out $7.7 million for TV spots in Iowa and New Hampshire for the fall, a campaign official told POLITICO.
The ad buys would allow Clinton to go on the air as early as the first week in November through Election Day in each State Feb. 1 for the Iowa caucuses, Feb. 9 for the New Hampshire primary.
Its possible Clinton could buy additional time in either state sooner, the official emphasized, but she wanted to lock down the dates to counter the expected avalanche of ads bought by GOP candidates and their related super PACs.

If only Citizens United had produced an anti-Bernie film...

(1,309 posts)should buy a similar dollar amount of ads for Bernie. But then, maybe she is not really interested in fairness and believes democracy should be purchased. The lord knows she has enough money in her own pocket.

(55,745 posts)That would be the Democratic thing to do, especially how they are the People's airwaves.
ETA: certainly would take the money out of politics. Might even take the influence of the rich out, too, so Wasington would start to do things for the 99-percent, for a change.
