Two observations on the political media buys so far this season:
(1) If you’re the average person looking at Obama’s and McCain’s ads, what have you found out? Obama’s for hope, and McCain was tortured viciously in Vietnam. That’s it.
(2) There are a few Republicans left who know where the hearts and minds of the people are on the immigration issue. There are a number of open state Senate seats, and of course MO-9 is open because Hulshof is running for Governor. Almost every radio ad I have heard for a Republican running for these seats mentions their opposition to mass immigration, amnesty and open borders.
