but what I'm saying has been proven over and over again throughout time. You want to completely write off states and races for all time that's fine for you but I believe in fighting and building support over time because it also affects the down ballot races and off year races. Eventually you get within reach and eventually you win some of these. You do the grass roots organizing etc. and put some money to that rather than thinking it's always just about TV ads. The quickest route to failure is to just pump ads. That clown OZ is a good example of that.
