I almost feel sorry for the residents of the "Battleground states" I was in
Florida in early May and there was nothing but campaign ads on and the same ones over and over.  I was wondering if you guys are getting bombarded and in the interest of campaigning who do you feel is putting out more ads?

I live in PA and I live in the area of the state that Bush and Kerry are focusing on: southeastern PA. I definetley see more Bush ads than Kerry ads. So in the opinion of a Bush supporter, it is great.

I live in Florida, and strangely enough, i dont seem to have been bombarded with ads.  Yeah some, but not many at all.    Maybe i have been watching the wrong stations.

I see them on Fox News sometimes. I'm not in a battleground state, though (and even if I was, I never watch regular TV).

NH has gotten a somewhat low dose of campaign ads, and I predict that Bush will withdrawl ads within 6 weeks.

I wish my state was a battleground.  Although i don't need to go too far to find them.  It seems like Bush or Kerry is always visiting WI and IA.  In IL, I don't expect to see much of either of them.  Thanks to Crook County and the Daley machine, there's little hope for Bush here.  He's better off spending his money and time in WI, IA, and MN.  Not to mention OH.

Right now, the Bush campaign should have their eye on WI.

I spent some time recently in Des Moines, Iowa and there were plenty of ads on there. Probably about half for each candidate.

And sadly enough KeystonePhil they are holding no water, in fact Bush is getting slaughtered here by the minute.  Keep telling your boy to waste his money here.. No really!

I've seen a fair amount of ads distributed about evenly between the two.

I live in NE PA and you see about 5 Bush adds for every Kerry add, and Kerry's add is ALWAYS the same one.

I have seen some Bush ads here in Virginia. I haven't seen a Kerry ad for a while now.

Kerry ads here continue to outnumber Bush ads about 2-1.  This is the Colorado Springs/Pueblo/South half of the state market, which is about 1/3 of the voting population and mostly Republican.  I really do not understand Kerry's strategy here.  He could carry 300+ EV and lose CO.  I have to assume that people in real battlegrounds see about 10 times the ads I do.
