National GOP leader targets West Palm area in cable TV ads
3/9/2010
WEST PALM BEACH — Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele unveiled a TV spot aimed at wooing GOP donors here and in four other media markets around the U.S.The 60-second spot features Steele accusing President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of "experimenting with America" and favoring "massive government expansion, government takeovers, redistribution of wealth and staggering debt to countries like China and the Middle East."
The GOP is spending less than $1 million nationally on the campaign. The ads will run on cable TV rather than pricier broadcast stations.
In addition to West Palm Beach, the ads will run in Greensboro, N.C., Cincinnati, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla., a GOP spokesman said.
Why those cities?
"We were very diligent about looking at the country, looking at our donors, looking at our supporters and where we have great concentration of effort and opportunity and this was a hot spot for us," Steele said.
Steele appeared briefly at the West Palm Beach Marriott, before about 30 GOP activists, including Palm Beach County Republican Chairman Sid Dinerstein, Broward GOP Chairman Chip LaMarca and Republican congressional hopefuls Ed Lynch and Allen West.
