Much more at the link, but I wanted to post some of the info about specific markets.

I found this story thanks to this tweet from Frank Luntz, minutes ago:

1. Thankfully. I'm not a "viewer".

2. Florida has 9 media markets,

and hugely diverse demographics. It is the most expensive state to cover effectively. If a quarter of the money spent there had been funneled into Texas, the Lone Star State would be blue this year.

3. All states "he" won in 2016.

There’s a message in there.

4. Nov 3

And I can't wait until election day so I don't have to see these ads anymore.

5. Trump's Florida ads are nauseating

Trump has protected Social Security and Medicare, Biden will weaken them by allowing illegal immigrants to participate in them. Trump has rescued the American economy, Biden will increase your taxes by 14%. Trump has kept his promises, Biden has no accomplishments after decades in office. Trump is fighting for you and for maintaining law and order, Biden supports the radical left agenda to defund the police etc. etc. etc.

6. Biden ads have been running non-stop for a couple months here in Philly

I only started hearing the first 45 ads on the local news radio station last week. But for every 1 of those, there were at least 2 - 3 Biden ads within the same couple hour time frame. Biden is also running ads on SiriusXM, which includes a RDS text indicating its his ad.

7. all the TV ads i see are full of crap

why do we expect twitter to take them down but not TV networks?

8. Most people don't watch the news, esp. cable news.

Ads are used to inform and make people feel comfortable with the candidate.

9. Biden will get most of Phila but the Northeast and South Philly

are where he needs to pick up votes.

11. It's wall to wall adds in Phoenix. I would say more Biden adds on the whole.
