Command Post 2004 Polls | MoveOn.org to Counter Bush's Ad Blitz
A Democratic-leaning online group will run television commercials in 17 presidential battleground states starting Thursday to counter President Bush’s multimillion-dollar advertising blitz that will begin the same day.

This $1.9 million, five-day effort will be its most far-reaching. The ads will ensure that there is a Democratic presence on the TV airwaves in key states as Bush begins to make his case for re-election.

In most states, MoveOn will run a new ad that takes Bush to task for his economic policies, including overtime pay and outsourcing jobs. In others, the group will run a previously released spot that shows images of children toiling on a grocery line and in a tire factory coupled with the text, “Guess who’s going to pay off President Bush’s $1 trillion deficit?”

Ads will run over five days at medium levels on broadcast stations in 67 media markets in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The television industry estimates that the average viewer in each media market would see a MoveOn spot about five times during the group’s ad run.

“We’re really stepping up our efforts to make sure our members’ voices are heard,” Wes Boyd, the group’s founder, said Tuesday. “We are trying to get these messages out about these fundamental issues.”

kerry won’t have to worry about running out of money because all these left wing democrat organizations are there to take up the slack. GWB is the one who has to worry about running out of money. Think of how many of these anti-Bush organizations that George Soros can fund. Pray for Soros to lose every penny.
