I agree on OH and FL. In Ohio I am seeing ads by the Media Fund about Bush and the Saudis. What a stretch. Kerry and crew are running lots of ads here now, and they outnumber Bush ads by 3:1. I feel good about Ohio, but Bush cannot let up here as it is a must win for Kerry. I think Bush also needs to focus on IA and MN, and keep ahead in WI. Those states should be in our camp and are close. It's nearly time to write off MI as hopeless. Picking up IA will offset any potential damage from CO and their initiative. Right now, it looks very close, but October surprises are pending.

I don't see these Saudi ads doing squat. Only the most frenzied nutball MichaelMorron would believe that crap. And, interestingly, the Saudi GOVERNMENT has been running a LOT of ads here about what friends it is to the U.S. and how the 9/11 commission cleared them of wrongdoing. Bush isn't mentioned, but I think those pretty well offset the goofball ads.

Bush has a terrific ad with a female OBGYN (or, if you're that fool Kerry, OGBYN), who says that lawsuits are driving her out of business.

On the other side of the coin, I'd say that the NEA ads---which say NOTHING about education, but focus entirely on jobs---are pretty damn effective. They have regular sounding guys talking about how the economy is in trouble, Ohio losing jobs, blah, blah. But like I say, the OBGYN ad pretty well counters that with a different group.

I am seeing ads by the Media Fund about Bush and the Saudis.

I have gotten at least 6 recorded calls from them. I was ready to turn them into the state no-call list as a pest.

Hail fellow Buckeye! Fortunately, I have not seen the Saudi ad, but I would say the ads are more like 4-1 Kerry and allied 527s.

It would be very, very nice to see more $ in Ohio. We have to defend what we have first, and Florida and Ohio are our two biggest vulnerable states. If we keep those, and everything else, we win again. (Heck, we could even lose NH and still come out ahead.)
