Can only use the 75 million from the feds after the convention...not sure what happens to all the money that was left in his campaign, if he gets to keep it for his next senate run, or if he has to give to the DNC...

Tad Devine, a chief strategist for Mr. Kerry, said the campaign's diminished presence on television in certain states should not be construed as a sign of faltering.
"We're not out, even if we're not on TV," Not as long as Dan Rather draws breath, anyway...

Let's see the coordination when the 527's run ads in the states Kerry does not.
To: alydar
Kerry gets billions of dollars worth of free advertising from the mainstream media. If he can't win with that advantage, which the proprietor of Newsweak has estimated is worth 15% at the polls, then he's really got problems.

Some states out of reach. MO, ARK, LA, and WI would be among them. That leaves the Kerry Campaign spending limited cash in MN, MI, OH, PA, and WVA. When you think about it, it makes sense. No sense in getting out the vote in states already locked up for the President.

True. But C-BS has damaged his campaign and the other partisan media organs will be leery of looking like they're in the tank for Ketchup Boy now.

Is the article saying that Wisconsin is out of reach for Kerry?
To: trashcanbred
He has to pay his 50 or so advisors to come up with all those brilliant ideas.

No but the President is up there by +8. I don't know if the other side can turn it around. The thing is, this spring it seemed to be Kerry's for the taking. What a difference a couple of months makes.

I wold suspect the Kerry campaign was seeing a certain flow of contributions and estimating spending based on the flow continuing or even increasing. Now I would imagine the demoralized Dems have slowed down the giving and the campaign is having to tighten its belts. Campaign problems are like rolling snowballs, each problem creates two or three news ones and the whole mess just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

"By last Tuesday, as some polls showed Mr. Bush's bounce deflating, Mr. Kerry had expanded to four more: Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and Oregon. By last Thursday, he had added Maine."
The articles implies Kerry advertising in these states is a sign of Bush weakening. Surrrrre. The fact that Kerry has to advertise at all in states like Minnesota, Michigan and Oregon is the sign of a floundering democrat campaign. The fact that he has to advertise there despite the phony claim that "Mr." Bush's bounce is fading is just further indication of how much trouble Kerry is in. This is like saying that since Kerry is now sitting comfortably on the bottom of the deep end of the pool he is clearly no longer in danger of drowning.
