[kskiska]

NEW YORK (AP) - Previewing its fall strategy, John Kerry's presidential campaign will buy $45 million worth of commercial time in 20 states through Nov. 2, including cable television and advertising geared toward minorities.

The buy is timed to coincide with the conclusion of President Bush's nominating convention as the Democrat seeks to curb the Republican incumbent's momentum. The first spots will be broadcast in just 10 states, which were not disclosed by the campaign.

The states are: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington state, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Maine, Minnesota, Arkansas, Louisiana and Nevada.
