I'm in New Hampshire, but even so we get ads that are for Boston.

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

he's constantly in the news... media pretty much is focusing on him... much like 2016 when trump was constantly in the media (and no, I'm not comparing them just the media coverage)

My understanding that he spends most of his fundraising dollars on opening and staffing field offices and reaching out in communities. It seems to be working - one takeaway from NV was people from the Latinx community indicating he was the only candidate who came into their community, whose campaign organized lots of small events to reach out.

He is doing some targeted advertising in some Super Tuesday states...

ooh, found a link without too much effort, lol:

"The Sanders campaign said it will put $5.5 million into television and digital ads in 10 states that hold primaries in coming weeks: South Carolina and nine of the 14 states that have contests on delegate-rich Super Tuesday March 3: California, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Tennessee and Utah.

The ads will expand on a previously announced $2.5 million buy in California and Texas — the two biggest Super Tuesday prizes.

The campaign also said it would “immediately increase” staffing in the March 3 primary states."

This article was written in reference to his high fundraising results from Jan.

They tend to hit the evening news if I remember correctly. They just started appearing in the past couple of weeks. Bloomberg has been around for longer but doesn't seem to have ramped them up lately. Bloomberg also puts out ads on the Spanish language networks.
