I'm assuming it's a 527 that would raise the money.
What I find hilarious is the notion that a full-page ad in a paper in Cincinnati funded by a bunch of Left Coasters will persuade swing voters.
If anything I suspect it will have the opposite effect (just like that whole 2004 British effort to write letters to people in a county in Ohio to get them to vote for Kerry).
I may be wrong, but I thought 527’s could not advocate for or against a specific candidate, only for or against an issue.
