1. From the link:

Created by American Bridge, a liberal Super PAC founded by Media Matters’ David Brock, the Tillis spot is just the first in a digital-only “Kochville” series that will go after extreme GOP candidates supported by Koch money. And the number of ads that money can buy is mind-boggling. According to the Center for Public Integrity, “The secretive political network of conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch has aired more than 43,900 television ads this election cycle.” The brothers’ Americans for Prosperity is expected to spend more than $125 million alone. While American Bridge is supported in part by billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros, its ad budget doesn’t even come close to that of the oil barons.

4. This ad will entertain liberals and nothing else.

Anyone on the other side who could be swayed by this won't see it, almost by definition.

Digital only. Yeah - teabillies are always looking on the web for alternative opinions.

5. Some users will see it

the undecideds --but also there's value in motivating those who ARE on our side in a midterm...

...I didn't think we are trying to convert teabillies...(or whatever name you want for the hopelessly fuxed up sector)

Or maybe you think that's all there are in North Carolina?

6. It said digital only.

If you want to reach people you want to convert, try going to where they live, not where your friends hang out.

7. "Convert"

--not really going to happen. Not going to convert the hard core.

Yes, it's a digital ad. I'm sure there are TV ones also. This one targets the digitally-oriented undecideds. Might persuade Independents.

In NC it's multi-faceted plan most likely--unlike the scenario you're trying to promote--that they're too dumb to know how to target advertizing?

11. Don't be fooled by the idiocy that is teabagger

They do use the interwebz
