Senior Perry adviser Paul Young called this move a "significant statewide buy" that will put Perry on New Hamphire's WMUR new station and radio waves. The ad will also be aired on cable. The campaign would not elaborate on how much was spent.
Perry is currently polling in the single digits in New Hampshire.

An ad buy! What a great idea! That ought to help erase the memories of Perry floundering in every debate so far.
they should be careful what they cover up with make-up/airbrushing. This ain't GQ and he looks a little un-natural.
Ahh, does that mean he can't count on your vote Amy?
WE GET IT - your love for Obama is all powerful. You know the whole walk over hot coals thing.
Tell me Amy what do you think the Boeing guys in SC think of Pelosi and Obama after she said the feds should shut the plant down?
Seems a littel nuts, right. We need more not less jobs.
He'll need a lot of ad buys to cover up for his drug induced speech from last Friday in NH.
What was in that liquid gold maple syrup they gave him?
Tom - No doubt! I don't know what he was on but Perry was high like a kite.
I'd guess Oxycontin.
I can't believe he is still in the race! Romney has to be sitting on a stock pile of oppo research, good lord, there is a lot out there.
Perry looks pretty slick when he is using a teleprompter.
how many takes did they work on for that ad?
Perry looks a little pickled.
Going on air?
Nothing new here.
He's been on helium since at least last Friday night.
All evidence to the contrary, but just so he's not a driver.
"I'm a doer, not a talker." Lots of folks on death row could have agreed with that statement.
Indeed.
We got rid of Howard Dean for yelling "Yeah!" while having a wild eyed look....
The GOP won't get rid of Perry because....he's authentic?!?
Hell, at the rate Perry's going, he's gonna make George W. Bush look like a certified Mensa member...
Aren't many more slick than Rick Perry. Politician all the way, but dumber than most.
hiccup
doer or dewars
He hasn't sounded too sober to me lately!
Good one, Rob.
Dear Governor Perry,
We're not going to let you "do" unless you can adequately explain to us what you're going to do. That's what the debates are for.
Yours truly,
Voters
Plenty o' time Noid, there are only 35 debates left.
Like you'd vote for anybody but O anyway.
Come on.
It's a good thing politicians don't have to talk.
Personally, I'd like to see Perry win for about 1 day, just so he could show us all how easy it is to pass legislation using only interpretive dance.
De Noid...if the debates are for finding out what they would do if they were President of the United States, we still do not know, do we? We do know what they stand for. The same things the TP/Republicans members of Congress stands for.
Neither a "doer" or a talker. What a waste of money. Perhaps Perry thinks God is still on his side! I wonder if this will be "live" or canned?
"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly
Is he going to say "Tune in, turn on, drop out'?
Maybe he'll say "I'm a doer. I 'do' a couple of 'mics' a day, at least. 'New Hampshire Maple Bucket'- straight from the lab".
Doer, not a talker, huh? Good. 'cause our cup runneth over with the b@llsh$t comin' outta your pie hole!
People of New Hampshire,
With a vote for Rick Perry, you too can have the Texas miracle right in your own little state. Here's how....
Texas is the only third world nation in the United States.
Some people are considered fools.
Some people speak and remove all doubt.
Thanks for the ad, Rick.
Off topic Where is the story on former Sen. John Corzine, former Gov. John Corzine, former head of Goldman Sachs John Corzine. His ML Global has gone bankrupt and there are hundreds of millions of customer's money gone missing from the brokerage firm.
Somehow, you got here and missed it. It's on the first page. It's still a work in progress. Apparently, since it didn't call for Corzine being tarred and feathered, it wasn't to your liking!
Crazy Auntie, isnt Democrat Jon Corzine one of the evil billionaire 1%?
or does he get a pass because he is an Obama crony capitalist?
Auntie, I didn't see it hear on first read only in the business section. But I am glad Dylan Ratigan is covering it now. As for me wanting him tarred and feathered don't put words in my mouth.
Bob, Nice hearing from you. Thanks
"Scary Perry" has proven that he does not talk very well at all in general, and in a debate format. He is a true GOP/RNC "Stuttering Spewer." In Texas, the only doing he has done is for the very rich, big oil, big corporations, and large insurance companies. "Scary Perry" loves to do economically greedy legistaion for anyone like, the Koch Brothers for instance. "Scary Perry" has plans to do nothing for 99% of Americans, however the top 1% are just loving the doing of "Scary Perry." In Texas, big oil is smiling ear to ear over on how "Scary Perry" gets things done all right. Now the Wall Street Bankers, are not scared at all by the "Stuttering Spewer." No financial regulations at all on the big banks is great for them, however it is another economic disaster waiting to happen. That is fact!
Admitting your faults and mistakes is one thing.
But Perry's slogan "I am a Doer, not a Talker " is too cute by half. A President needs to be both.
Perry must have done some 'talking' to convince Texas voters to reelect him, and some 'talking" to the Legislature to get his policies enacted, with great results.
While we cant expect a "Great Communicator" like Reagan, conservatives need a "talker", able to convince the undecided.
Bob - In the last election Perry refused to debate. He's done it before, but he is not good at it.
I know a lot of people hate it when we point this out, but Rick Perry is not a smart man. He doesn't qualify as average. Heck, even in Texas he doesn't qualify as average.
Perry tends to get elected via advertising, not talking. That is why so many well connected political actors in Texas keep saying Perry is not your guy. Well, that and the whole "Wide Stance" thing.
I think he ran for gov. of texas so he would not be fried for being mentally unstable and is it just Me or did anyone else have horrific flash backs to bush jr
It's Rick Perry, and his "Trickle Me Elmo" show.
Hope he's not high or drunk again ......that was painful to watch !
Rick -- you're not a talker, you're not a debater and you're not a doer. What you are is the most unqualified, most ignorant, and worst candidate to run for president in the history of the Republican Party. You are an embarrassment to former Republicans such as Reagan, Bush 41, Goldwater, Ike, TR, Lincoln and even Nixon to mention a few
How about a standing ovation for the GOP? Remember how they insisted on triggers and spending caps.
Moody's says we're going to avert a downgrade because of them.
How long does it takes to say duh duh duh?? This is perry's version of "I am not a witch". WHAT A LOAD!!!
cain is under the spotlight for sex cases, and rommy is a flip flopper and well perry is just perry another rich man son like bush who wants to be president is that all the republicans got then we all know right
You can bash Repubs all you want.....here's the alternative..........
Obama = More than $15 trillion debt, more s&p downgrade, no budget, more lies like " There will be NO lobbyists in my White House", open borders, more Solyndras, more military action without Congress' approval, higher taxes and more bail outs.
