I agree with Austin.
Nader’s campaign seems pretty well run this time. I think they are targeting markets effectively here.
Well, Nader did pretty decently in Central and Upstate NY back in 2000….
And he did extremely well in some parts of Northern California that year… 12% in Humboldt County… 14% in Mendocino County… etc.
They’re solid ads for his purposes. Time will tell if they have much impact.
He must’ve been aiming at the cheaper markets. Upstate New York and Northern California are overwhelmingly conservative. But I think he’ll scoop up alot of extra votes by appealing to voters in Penn and West Virginia, where alot of white liberals are NOT going to vote for Obama, but will still want to vote liberally.
Oregon, Conneticut, and Minnesota are going to put out on these ads.
It’ll be interesting to go back and compare results in various areas to see if these ads helped. Lots of fun analyzing will come in the week or two after the election.
