O Money O Money !!

New York Times: Reports on the Money trail of both the Republicans and Democrats. The use of selected political commercials that feeds in to the views of the voters in different parts of the country. The article states the following on the Democratic Race for President, “ (Obama and Clinton ) have unleashed advertisements in nearly all the 22 states that have Democratic presidential nominating contests on Tuesday, a combined $19 million expenditure that is the most ambitious and geographically expansive television effort in a presidential primary. Of late Obama has raised over thirty million this will help him with the TV add buys. Clinton has bought an hour on the Hallmark channel, that is an expensive buy. This does recall Nixon adds of 1968, in 1968 Nixon did not debate, he recalled 1960, why take the chance! He had his Man in the arena; he took questions from voters while standing in an arena. Have my doubts that Senator Hillary Clinton will get any hard questions, soft questions like the one that made her cry in New Hampshire. That might be the point; Hallmark has a certain demographic, women voters thus the backbone for the Clinton Machine. Must Read of the Day.
