MPR: DNC Ad Buy Meager
Minnesota Public Radio reports that the Democratic National Committee spent a paltry $850 on its radio ad buy urging Norm Coleman to exit the Senate race and allow Democrat Al Franken to be certified.
"Minnesotans better listen carefully if they want to hear the DNC ad calling for Republican Norm Coleman to concede," MPR writes.
Per MPR, here are the details on when they'll run:
4/16 5 AM - 10 AM - 1 spot
4/16 3 PM - 7PM - 1 spot
4/17 5AM - 10 AM - 1 spot
4/17 3 PM - 7PM - 1 spot
The source with knowledge of the buy told MPR that the DNC may run additional ads next week if Coleman doesn't concede. And MPR updated the post later to say that a source maintains that the portion of the buy on Air America's station -- AM950 -- is much bigger but wouldn't say how much.
A Republican strategist weighed in for On Call: "I guess this is what President Obama's and his party means by changing the tone in Washington. Silly games won't divert Senator Coleman's team from ensuring every legal vote counts in Minnesota."
