Santorum scaling back TV ads
Santorum In Trouble? Campaign Pulls Broadcast TV Ads

PHILADELPHIA -- Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum's re-election campaign has pulled most of its television ads from broadcast television and is now mostly advertising on cable.

A Franklin and Marshall College political science professor says this is typically a sign of a cash-flow problem. He says it doesn't make sense to give up advertising on major network shows if a campaign can afford it.

1. It also makes sense to cut back...
When you're down by double digits and you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

Which is where Rectum finds himself.

4. Rectum will lose votes if Vanity shows up
Vanity is losing viewers as is O'Really and Faux News in general.

Vanity tried to defend OxyRush's smearing of Michael J. Fox and it didn't set well with Joe Public, especially Mrs. Joe Public.

Rectum will be around until the new Congress is seated in January.

6. Cash flow problem, eh? Why not sell that multimillion dollar house
you got in McLean and move the family back into that shotgun shack you call your PA 'home' -- fucking putz!!!

That "throw everything against the wall" ad with the missile and the North Korean flag (which most people won't even recognize...duhhhh...is that Puerto Rico? Who's bombing Puerto Rico???) totally sucks...it looks cheap, and it is just too busy and stupid to make anything approaching a point!!!

7. Santorum was on earlier today, may have been on MSNBC,
said he was waiting for the Repugs to send him more campaign money shortly.

Do you think they just made him an empty promise?

8. Say goodnight, Rick
Even he's not dumb enough to flush millions down the toilet. Casey by ten.
