For the last three months, you could not watch a half-hour of commercial TV without seeing a Steyer ad. Buttigieg started running his TV ads about two weeks ago, and I even saw my first Klobuchar ad yesterday. Warren has a modest amount of advertising here, and Gabbard has run an occasional ad here for the last few months. I have yet to see a Biden TV ad. And of course, for the last month there have been Bloomberg ads, but I'm sure they're the ones that are nationally televised.

What Steyer has been doing in SC is what Bloomie is doing all over the country. People with weak minds respond to advertising, there's a whole industry out there looking for ever more sophisticated ways to influence tastes and preferences.

A solid win in SC is his single best shot at regaining momentum in time for Super Tuesday. 20% going to Steyer would almost certainly sink that (possibly even giving Bernie a shot at winning the state).

Hopefully Steyer does poorly enough in NV that he drops out rather than wait for SC. Since Bloomberg won't be on the ballot, Biden should regain the bulk of those votes.

I'm concerned about, Steyer in SC is pushing them further out. Also Bloomberg is rising fast, and Senator Sanders need to worry about that.

Money does buy.
