Massachusetts! This campaign is going so well, they're spending money on ads in Massachusetts. Haven't seen any McCain ads on the same channels.

(This is western MA, so they're not trying to get New Hampshire votes.)

1. Are you sure there's no market that draws from where you are?
NH at all? CT? :shrug:

We have tons of Obama ads here, but were the main market for southern NH.

4. This is the Springfield NBC affiliate
It *may* reach the extreme southwestern corner of NH, but I really doubt it. It definitely serves CT, but it's not like Connecticut is up for grabs.

3. Are you sure it isn't a national ad buy?
If it's on primetime on a major network or on a cable news network anytime, it likely is.

5. You're probably right
I don't know much about how ad buys work, but I think it's remarkable that we're seeing Obama ads and absolutely no McCain ads.

7. Team Obama is going for popular vote and electoral vote wins of notable proportions.

Then he and the Democratic majorities in Congress (knock wood) will have a real mandate for the CHANGE WE NEED.
