Senior Romney aides confirm to Carl Cameron that they are planning to run a 30-minute infomercial in key battleground states— Joy Lin (@JoyLinFN) October 23, 2012
Yes!!! That’s what I wanted him to do - borrow a page from Obama’s 2008 playbook. Shamwow commercial - our turn.
I will pray to God, meanwhile, here is another SJB tv ad....: )
Gas prices way way up
Food prices way up
Home values way down
Unemployment up
Underemployment way way up
Yet the middle class is not yet defeated......
No, not quite....
Vote Obama 2012
LETS GET IT OVER WITH !!!!
Does Romney have a solid shot at a congressional district for one EV?
Candidates buying blocks of TV time used to happen more frequently.
Not that I’m old enough to remember or anything.
He can presumably run them affordably in smaller markets or on smaller stations, and most viewers will be on the Internet.
I do if I think they are important enough.
Ross Perot’s informercials were very effective. Plus, he got an advertising award! But no electoral votes.
Beat me to it!!!
Hell YES I remember—I no longer have Dish, either, and look forward to not hearing Bath-House Barry’s voice on an hourly basis!!!! It’ll be SWEET!
Who watches 30 second commercials? Most of America DVRs their television content and skips right over the commercials. Now a 30-minute infomercial with some real meat (as opposed to fluff) will probably get a lot of exposure, especially if it is well-produced and informative. People could DVR it and watch it at their leisure like a regular television show.
Hopefully Romney will make this available on YouTube and stream it on demand with outfits like Netflix, Roku, Hulu, etc., so people in non-battleground states can access the content as well.
Yes, i read and saw the poll stated, Romney had a 5 point lead in the district, The GOP there got very clever and when the districts in Maine got redistricted, 2 big dem townships were removed from it and 2 big GOP ones put in their place.
It’s too bad they have to have 30 minute commericals to educate people but it is the direct result of the biased and untruthful media we have in the USA.
Bammy would have to spend his walking around money for advertising like that. He’s bankrupting the DNC and holding onto his cash. :)
Maybe I missed it but does anyone know when it will air?
Order now and we will include the remarkable Budget Hawk as at no additional cost.
To be fair, Ross Perot quit and then came back. By then he had lost credibility, so to say that the infomercials weren’t effective in getting EVs may not be accurate. We will never know.
Until the debates, where I had no choice, I have studiously avoided listening to that one’s voice for over 4 years.
If he was on the bedroom TV, hubby knew to switch channels NOW when I entered the room.
He literally physically made me sick.
That Godforsaken Dish barrage would have been the tortures of the damned, if I’d not bugged out ASAP while channel surfing.
I hope they run the Romney ad on DirecTV.
[a service which excels beyond Dish’s wildest dreams]
I do if I think they are important enough.
Same here. Or if the guy lights the car on fire. ;)
Maine splits their electoral votes: 1 for the winner of each Congressional district, and 2 for the winner of the entire state.
If Romney can win one district, he gets at least one electoral vote.
Everyone has been wondering when Mitt was going to start spending his money, now we know.
His strategy has been to let The Disaster spend all his money spewing his venomous lies, then step in late in the game and systematically swat all of them out of the park.
The five or so hours of free tv, which the debates are, showed the ignorant that he is no threat to them and is infinitely more qualified and presidential than The Disaster. This neuters the message which has to be used against Romney (”he is a devil”) and it is too late to concoct another theme.
Romney has run a brilliant, professional campaign and avoided missteps in a remarkable manner. It is almost as if he has moles within The Disaster’s campaign.
