Via Ryan Sager — Ben Smith reports on Rudy Giuliani’s most recent ad buys:
A campaign staffer, in touch with media buyers, e-mails that Rudy requested third- and fourth-quarter television rates in Illinois, Georgia, Oklahoma, and West Virginia, while booking relatively small-scale radio buys (about $24,000 for a week in Iowa; $13,000 in South Carolina; and $10,000 in New Hampshire.)
Smith, Sager, and yours truly all note what IL, GA, OK, and WV have in common: February 5 primaries (well, West Virginia has a strange primary, but 2/5 still plays a key role in its calendar). More evidence of the contrast in strategies between Giuliani and Mitt Romney.
Something to say?
