Track National Ads Running In New Jersey

I saw Obama's "Hands" ads a few times (4.00 / 2)

On NBC Saturday and Sunday night:

I also saw McCain ads (0.00 / 0)

The celebrity ad that ends with saying Obama will raise taxes and destroy jobs.

These were all national Olympics buys, I'm pretty sure.

ads (4.00 / 1)

Those of us in the Philly regional market were so inundated with ads during the April Pa primary, that it is somewhat hard to differentiate the timeline. Obama had on at least twice as many ads then, though.

Over a month ago, I saw a McCain ad on Fox-7 Philadelphia during the 7:00-7:30 timeline. The ad had him talking to workers, and it featured an alternative energy (this was before "drill, drill, drill"). It was locally targeted to Philadelphia and its suburbs, bought by the McSame campaign.

okay, I saw that Obama ad (0.00 / 0)

(the one at the top hitting McCain on oil) twice on ABC local news in Philly today -- just before 5:30 and before 6:00.

I did see a McCain attack ad (the same one on the Olympics) on local NBC news Philly sometime in between. This wouldn't be complete, since I flip around.

two more commercials (0.00 / 0)

One was from Obama, the other, McSame.

While at a brewpub on Sat., I noted a well-placed Obama commercial on Fox 7 -- during the Phillies game on Saturday afternoon (5:00 ish?). It was a positive Obama commercial and one I hadn't seen before.

The other was a McCain ad that I saw yesterday at about 7:15 p.m. on CBS-3 out of Philly. It's a negative, anti-Obama ad that features pictures of Schumer, Reid, and the Democratic congress; then it says something like "They came to Washington to tax us," then cuts to a picture of Obama.

Obama's Massive Philly Ad Buy (0.00 / 0)

In the past few weeks, Obama ads have been everywhere in the Philadelphia market, which means that voters in swing areas like Chester County and Bucks County are getting his message on cable channels; because we're in local Camden County, we also get these ads on our cable system.

To name a few: Obama buys a long ad, the one where he speaks directly to the camera, for the Eagles Monday night game a few weeks ago; he has more than one ad buy during the Phillies games, as they batled for the playoffs; he had another one tonight on Faux News where a woman with a Southern accent says McCain is wrong on the economy; he's had at least two ad buys on HGTV (national, perhaps?) during the 7:30 slot, perhaps these were his "Change" ads; and he's even had a radio ad on the top classic rock channel in Philly, 102.9.

By contrast, I've only seen one McCain ad in the past few weeks, some ad where he says he'll bring real reform to Washington (yeah, right).

Obama is buying heavily in Philly and this is being broadcast also here in South Jersey, a peripheral positive effect.
