Jack is really flooding the state with television ads. There has been a new one airing today concerning his record as State Treasurer in protecting seniors from insurance scams, and lauding his plans to bring universal healthcare to Delaware. I don’t have the video yet, but if you have Comcast cable in New Castle County, you have seen the ad.
I would really love to know if these ads are moving the polls. But we Delawareans aren’t afforded such luxuries as campaign polling, which means election night on September 9th will be fun beceause it will be unexpected, no matter what occurs. The conventional wisdom says this race is tight. I wonder if it really is at all. For all we know, Markell’s ads are doing nothing and Carney is going to win by a wide margin. Or, these ads are working and Markell is going to run away with this election. With all the hooha over the Delaware Democratic buying party radio ads for Carney, if you are watching TV, all you are seeing right now is Markell ads. Carney has been completely dark.
Which makes you wonder, what is Carney waiting for? If he has the money, he better spent it now.
