Upcoming Ads
Here’s some info on the Bush campaign’s upcoming ad campaign:
The Bush-Cheney campaign got one step closer to launching its ad campaign which is still slated to begin next week.The campaign will feature at least two English language ads (at least one of 30 seconds and one that will be a minute spot) and at least one Spanish language ad, with the potential for more.
According to various Republican, Democratic, and television sources, BC04 will spend about $425,000 on cable networks MSNBC and CNBC, $650,000 on CNN and will focus $1.3 million toward ad time on Fox News Channel, perhaps a sign that the election really is a lot about getting out the base.
An additional $800,000 will be spent to run ads on Fox Sports, mainly during NASCAR events, in an effort to reach out to the trendy swing group of NASCAR dads. But if you are a sports fan who’s not into racing, you might also find BC04 ads on ESPN and the Golf Channel.
All these numbers (sketchy as they are) seem to be through May-ish, and if we are wildly off, please don’t sue us.
Campaign officials have said that the first spots will be positive.
UPDATE: There’s more here and here. (via Political Wire)
