The final edits have been done on our 'Thank John McCain' ad & the spot is accepted, so I am sharing that final version with you here. Again, this ad would not be going on the air, were it not for the dozens of emails I received from Kos members pointing me to the diary posted last Saturday morning which contained the original version of this piece. It was intended to be a youtube viral, now it has become a television ad.
It was only a minor edit to bring this to broadcast quality & time. We're buying time in Colorado, and I would like to mix in another state for this week as well. I have a quote that we can run 1,200 ads in a week in Nevada for $17,000 - this would cover the entire state. I am waiting to hear on New Hampshire later this afternoon, as well as considering mixing in a small but in VA or PA. There are a lot of opinions on where we need to take the ads. In the end our budget decides what is possible, and working within the budget we look at the polling data, naturally in the most important swing states, compared to rate of return, i.e. how many impressions will he have in swing counties within those states & at what cost. The Nevada run is relatively inexpensive, but even in the larger states our per ad cost is an average of just over $40, so every contribution actually does go a long way.

Currently our run in Ohio is finished & we are on the air another week in Michigan with the 'Judgment' ad:
If you can help us with our buy for 'Thank John McCain' please contribute at our website. The site has three methods, check, direct with paypal or actblue.
I will update on Tuesday with where we're going on the air, after the buy is finished, and will be glad to send along the logs for anyone who is living in those areas so they can see the spot on their television.
I am on the road right now, so although I am reading each email my time to respond is curtailed. If anyone could help with a project for our next ad, which will consist of compiling links to articles & videos to back up our claims please email me at eugene at truthandhope.org
Thank you for your help.
