OBAMA’S ADS….Politico reports on Barack Obama’s fundraising:
One official close to the campaign said that September’s fundraising haul set a new record, surpassing the $66 million Obama raised in August. Another aide, asked about the campaign’s take, would only describe it: “big.”
How big is “big”? Well, big enough that I’ve actually seen a few Obama ads myself. In California. I guess maybe they were national ad buys, but I don’t think so. And I can hardly remember the last time I saw a presidential campaign bothering to advertise in California. (Maybe for a few days in 2000 when Karl Rove was having delusions that Bush might win here? That’s all that comes to mind.)
Anyway, I don’t quite know what this means, but Obama must really have money to burn if he’s buying ads here in the Golden State.
