* From a press release…
Today, EMILY’s List WOMEN VOTE! will release an ad to expose Bobby Schilling’s extreme, anti-middle class agenda. The ad will go up on broadcast television with 1000 points in Peoria, bolstering the nine pieces of mail that have been circulating to nearly 23,000 independent women since September 19th.
“Bobby Schilling has made it clear that he is willing to dismantle vital services like Medicare in order to increase tax breaks for wealthy corporations,” said Stephanie Schriock, President of EMILY’s List. “And this November, voters in Illinois are going to make it equally clear that they don’t support his right-wing agenda. Right now, women and families need leaders like Cheri Bustos – pro-choice Democratic women who will fight for their access to healthcare and economic opportunity.”
* The ad…
Rate it.
* Roundup…
* Schilling edges Bustos in fundraising: Both candidates did well, but Republican incumbent Bobby Schilling holds an advantage. Schilling raised $613,164 in the third quarter and finished with $839,150 cash on hand. Democratic challenger Cheri Bustos raised $488,803 in the third quarter and finished with $656,827 cash on hand.
* Schilling tops Bustos in 3Q fundraising: Schilling outspent Bustos for the quarter, dishing out $723,925, including a $45,450 transfer that went to the state Republican Party. Bustos spent $661,568.
* Our View: Will Bustos or Schilling give best answers in debate?: Who has the best plan to bring jobs back to the U.S.? Who has the best ideas on how to move health care forward? Who has the best grasp of education issues? And who will be a better representative for the Rockford region?

What does “1000 points” mean in TV time purchase?

A 1000 points in Peoria… Sounds like a catchphrase..
But how much does a point (or a thousand) cost in Peoria?

They did the same thing to Schilling in 2010. Spread the same lies of shipping jobs overseas, extreme, and only for the rich.
I didn’t work then and isn’t working now. Don’t they have anything else in their playbook?
How long till the outside groups give up on Cheri and move to a more winnable race like Loebsack or Gill?

will be interesting in 3 weeks to see whether democrats made a big mistake focusing on womens health instead of the economy in trying to appeal to women. It seems like waving a white flag but they probably figure it’s their only shot.

The spot’s okay, nothing earth-shattering.
Many voters most be very confused as to who loves Medicare the most.

well I know little Bobby won’t touch medicare because I heard his Granny say it on the teevee so you know it’s got to be the gospel then.

“Women voters responsible for the content of this advertising” (Got it wrong ad)
When the Occupiers were marching around with signs and drums saying “we ARE the 99%” a great many Americans who economically fall within the 99% said, “Well no you aren’t and you don’t speak for me, Occupiers,–so stop it.” My personal belief is that, likewise, many many women do not view favorably this election’s over-emphasis on “womens issues” and the idea that women are sort of being treated in a monolithic way in ads as if all women think alike. I guess time will tell as Shore well stated above.

And then there are many of us women who are fed up with men deciding what choices we should have about our own bodies or what health care should be available to us and will be voting accordingly.
