Kerry Forces Deploy Last Minute Ads In West Viginia, Arkansas and Hawaii (strategery discussion)
ABC News ^ | 10/27/04 | Marc Halperin

Posted on 10/27/2004 8:36:04 AM PDT by gopwinsin04

The Kerry campaign is expressing concern about daily tracking polls that show President Bush gaining ground in Florida and Ohio.

Bush aides insist that the election will once again be decided in Florida, and annouced that he will be spending Saturday night in Orlando.

Bush's (current) travel plans show he will be playing defense in Ohio and New Hampshire, both of which he won in 2000, but is investing the rest of his time in the next few days trying to wrest states from the Democratic column.

Karl Rove said 2/3 of Bush's stops in the final two weeks will be in states that he lost to Al Gore.

Democrats are shifting their resources to defend Hawaii, but are also eying West Virginia and Arkansas.

A DNC official said last night that the party will probably be on the air with a TV ad by today in West Virgina, and Moveon.Org has bought TV times as well.

Of Arkansas, the offical said that Moveon.Org has made a modest TV buy and The Media Fund has purchased radio ads.

Did you just hear the president's speech? He's fighting back and addressing the stolen ammo issue head on! He said Kerry is making claims without knowing the facts...A poor quality for a commander in chief. He also commented on Kerry's being "unchanged" by 911. He spoke about being at the WTC ground zero and meeting with fireman and they told him not to let them down. He says he will always fight for America and never let us down. Go Mr. President!!!!!

In battle the side on defense is at a disadvantage. Although we are defending some states (Ohio and FL) Kerry is defending more of his turf. This is a good sign in the knife fight that this campaign has become.

Kerry's campaign claims Kerry will be making his "closing arguments" today even though there are five days between today and election day. What the hay...? Has he run out of physical steam. Is he just going to let his ads do the talking for the rest of the campaign?

Given Senator Kerry's propensity for being very long-winded, I would imagine this means that he will begin his closing statement today, and it will take him five days to finish it.

By the way I just saw the neatest ad. By There is a difference - We need the Republican Party.

Scenes of Reagan, tearing down the hussein statue, the Berlin wall. First commercial that sent a real thrill up my spine.

Does this not speak of clear coordination between the DNC and MoveOn?
Am I missing something here?

How would the DNC official know where Moveon is buying ad time? How would Moveon know that Kerry wants to shift resources to West Virginia? I thought there was no co-ordination between the DNC and any 527.

Can you imagine the hell and fury if Karl Rove mentioned where the Swift Boat Vets should be placing ads?
