In states that aren't the tiny white ones that get all the attention. He's paying well and ensuring that employment goes til election day.

He's basically funding an ingrastructure, even if doesn't get the nomination. His ads are being filmed so that they're issue ads.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Early January story, more at article


snip--"Obviously Bloomberg is not writing off the importance of Ohio in 2020 as some are, says Aaron Pickrell, his state director. The Buckeye State is key to moving voters beyond the easy stereotype of a generic New York rich guy to showing not only can he can relate to the problems of average people, but also offer solutions to their most pressing problems, Pickrell said.

The presence of Pickrell running the campaign gives it immediate credibility among top Democrats. He was state director for Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, and a senior adviser for the president's 2012 re-election team.

Pickrell also managed both of Ted Strickland's campaigns for governor. Most recently he runs the Remington Road Group political consulting firm in Columbus."


snip--" Among the 13 field offices planned by Bloomberg are two in both Columbus and Cleveland, one in every other major city, plus one in Athens, home of Ohio University."

primary today, I would vote for:
