2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere in Northern Virginia, I've seen 3 Clinton ads on Bravo (during Olympic tennis coverage)
just this afternoon. The latest one was the one with David Letterman pointing out to Trump that his "beautiful" ties are being made in China (a very good ad IMHO).
So I don't know when the ad buys really are going to stop in VA as reported a few days ago, but they have not so far (maybe they had contracts to continue to air the ads for some time, at the time the campaign made the announcement).
I think the campaign is wise not to take ANY state for granted. November is a long way off. I assume that someone in the campaign is watching the budget carefully and weighing the pros and cons of investing in VA (and Colorado) versus other swing states.
