Does anyone know why the Swift boats ads are running in Maryland?
We're considered a "locked state" for kerry.
Do the Swiftees just have wild hopes or do they know something the rest of us don't?

[not that it wouldn't send me into absolute raptures to give our votes to W this election]

They made a very smart buy. They bought nationwide Cable TV channels. These ads are quite inexpensive and run in all 50 states.

I have felt for several years that they are the best buy in TV advertising. We will see how effective the buy is for the Swift Boat Veterans. They have a nationwide by that only cost about a half million dollars.

I hope the spots prove effective.

It's only a guess, but I figure it's to reach into eastern West Virginia. I drive between West Virginia and Washington, DC on a weekly basis and West Virginia is being bombarded by every campaign ad out there.

I would guess it's because of all the talking heads that work in D.C. will see the ads running.

It might be that the Swiftees want to get their message in front of the Washington press corps so the reporters are more familiar with the vets' arguments.

No state is locked in for the ketchup gigolo.

Zell Miller made sure of that last night when he framed the issue perfectly.

It's about the future of our world!!!
