OK, so just when I thought things were quiet, someone wakes me up.
What piqued my interest? It was the announcement from Andrea Silbert's campaign that her convention video will be available for viewing on Comcast's On Demand service.
What a great idea this is! Her video was generally regarded as the best of the LG's videos (really, her competition was only with Tim), so it'll be good for her to have others view it too.
I'm sure other candidates will fall in behind Silbert's lead here - I can't imagine why they wouldn't, as it's probably not too costly.
The other news today is Tim Murray's June fundraising - clipping along at a solid pace post convention. I've said it before, and will continue to: Tim Murray is the favorite in this race and ought to be miles ahead in cash on hand. His up and down fundraising strategy has not helped him and if he ends up spending the same on media as Silbert, he loses. While they both may lose to Goldberg due to her largesse (although she may be hurt by lack of a clear message), Murray risks a dead last finish if he doesn't significantly outspend Silbert. Plus, comments about his "grass roots organizing" are such baloney I can't even believe they're spouting them.
Back to sleep - or work - or whatever...

Because it's not worth the effort when you have to spend on TV. Unless you have the resources to a) actually IC voters and b) actually get them to the polls, your field effort, unless entirely volunteer (which the article says is expressly NOT the case), then it's a waste of money that could be better put into TV. Unless, of course, you win, then it's genius. But as I've written here and on BMG many, many times: downballot races are won on the airwaves, period.
