The Super Bowl is February 3. Super Tuesday is two days later.

Anybody want to wager we will see our first Super Bowl campaign commericals.

Even if it is $1 million a min it is probably more efficient then buying adds in each market individually. 22 states and all the big media markets fall on the same day.

3. Don't they have a policy about advocacy commercials ?

I'm not sure if political ads would fall under that, but I remember a big stink when they banned a PETA commercial a few years back stating the policy.

As it turned out PETA got way more publicity for that campaign, and didn't have to spend a nickel.

I can only speak for my husband, but if he sees a political ad during the Super Bowl, he will Elvis the t.v.

4. It's not a policy. It's a "policy".

When they don't like the commercial, it's "against policy," which they make up on the fly.

6. If it takes away from their product it is against their policy.

5. It is ADS not ADDS

I can't believe how many don't know the difference between an ADvertisment and to ADD a number.

9. That would fail. Unless there was a gimmick

You'd need Terry Tate, Office Linebacker, to come out of nowhere and tackle a lobbyist or something.

Or talking animals.
