Hubbard seeking cash for TV time tonight
Five months before Election Day, Rodney Hubbard is hoping to make an early splash on the small screen.
Hubbard’s campaign sent an e-mail to supporters on Monday, seeking enough contributions to buy time during tonight’s primary election coverage on CNN and MSNBC.
It’s an interesting play - I’m not sure I’ve heard of a State Senate candidate buying television airtime, let alone before the filing for the office even closes.
Maybe Hubbard’s aim isn’t so much to reach voters, but to make an impression on local Democrats up late watching the results come in.
And if he doesn’t raise enough money, there’s always YouTube.
Hubbard: Wants airtime, seeking donations



gee, Jo, would you have given me a nice post like this if I had bought radio time the days before, of, and after filing day for the very same reasons? I that’s right, I did.
and you didnt. :)Do you think my man Rodney got the idea from me? enjoy day; working from home, I hope. 3 substitute days in the SLPS (where I work when no work at other 3 jobs) snowed out this year; there goes my campaign money.
