Please E-mail the Kerry campaign to stop running bio ads on Crossfire

[Bombtrack]

and other shows where everyone watching already knows who he is extensively.

It's a waist of freaking $$$$

2. Who do you think is watching cable at 3:30(CST) in the afternoon?

It's my father, a registered Florida voter. In other words, a retired white male.

3. Uhhhh, there are moderates and swing voters to reach

And no, people do not know who he is. For the most part, they don't care. All of the attention will be on Bush until about July. His ads are perfect, keep his image in your mind, and focus on the disaster that is Bush. His campaign has been very good about not politicizing Bush's repeated failures. Just keep giving Bush more rope, he's hanging himself. In fact, I think at this point he's starting to choke.

4. People who watch Crossfire and Inside Politics are the most likely people

in America of any TV audience to know who he is and about him.

Run them on baseball games. Run them on comedy central or vh1, it's just dumb to waist them on programs that clearly appeal to an audience his ads have been stated not to target

5. So you think political shows already provided a good bio?

Glad no one is listening to your "advice." The purpose of the ads is to counter the sniping and lying and trivializing on CNN and elsewhere. If you think these shows have been "fair and balanced" or gushing over Kerry, you have a right to your delusions, but, my view is that Kerry's team knows how to play this game better than you.

6. Surely Kerry has professionals working for the campaign

They know who they want to reach and who is watching what and when.
