The Perry campaign officially requested to purchase 26 new thirty-second spots to run on ABC-affiliate WMUR from November 15-21, costing $21,800.
However, the ad is unlikely to air on the requested dates. According to WMUR, payment has not yet arrived and the spot is still being produced according to a senior source close to the Perry campaign.
When it does appear on Granite State televisions, the ad will run on local morning and evening news as well as during primetime programming.
Earlier this fall, the Perry campaign doled out $45,375.00 for 72 thirty-second spots on WMUR. Both of these week-long buys pale in comparison to the recent purchase by the pro-Huntsman Our Destiny PAC, which spent $132,850 on 52 one-minute and thirty-second ads. It went on air this morning.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul's campaign also ran ads earlier this fall on WMUR.

If you got it you might as well spend it!
I would suggest they incorporate 'Mr. Happy' Perry into the ads, with footage of his 'Live Free or Die' routine! ;o)
Slick Rick is known for his mean spirited ads, loaded with mis-representations...LIES!
..This from a candidate who can't put together a coherent sentence on anything....uses talking points for policy!....lol
Feisty,
I love that clip of "Mr HappyPerry" , it is amazing...
And it also looks like the First Thought thread this morning has totally been taken over by the collapse crowd.
I will check back in later in the day.
I left it hours ago - it wasn't too obvious it was a coordinated attack by the right wing Nazi's!
First Read/Newsvine seriously needs to address this collapsing bull@!$%#!
THe best part of the collapse crowd is they do nothing but whine and complain about MSNBC.
Somebody should warn New Hampshire: might be a good time to stop paying for cable and get outside for some exercise before the snows come.
And, if sh!t were snow, Perry would be a blizzard. At least.
But why is he spending one dime on ANY campaigning? He's toast, and he knows it. I mean, he HAS to know it, doesn' t he??
It is seven weeks until Iowa. Seven long weeks! That is an eternity in politics!
I really do not think Mitt will be the GOP nominee. His lack of a "core set of beliefs" - the inauthenticity he projects - the chronic and incurable case of Flip Flop Flu that he has - the "For Pete's Sake" statement that would become a Democratic mantra if Mitt did get the nomination - it is just too much!
I KNOW Newt will not be the nominee. Too much baggage.
I think it will be Perry, Huntsman, or Cain.
Perry could come back. He has tons of $$ - and lots of time. Huntsman could catch fire in NH and then take off. But I still think that there is a passionate group in the GOP base that likes Cain.
If anyone remembers Bill Clinton's campaign back in 1992 they know that someone can drop down in the polls after being in first place - from accusations from Gennifer Flowers, a mini-scandal on the draft, etc. - rally in NH, coming in second - and be pronounced the "winner" and the "Comeback Kid!" In 1980 Reagan lost Iowa - he was dubbed the "amiable dunce" because he routinely flubbed up answers to questions - it looked bleak - but he rallied back into the lead in NH.
Why these two examples? Both Clinton and Reagan had mega personalities that carried them through the tough times. Their supporters - I supported Clinton in 1992 - liked them immensely. When they got into any sort of trouble their likeability factor kicked in. People did not leave them when they got into scrapes. Reagan was said to have a Teflon-coating. Clinton did too.
I see that same dynamic with Cain and those in the GOP who support him. People really like him. They see a sunny optimist - but also someone who is a successful businessman who seems to have a strong sense of self. I have heard GOP voters interviewed as to what they like about Cain and they say that the country is tired of "politics as usual" and that Washington is in total gridlock and along comes this outsider who puts up some bold ideas which are resonating. Yes, he has stumbled on some questions - and had his personal life reviewed - but so far he is still leading in the state polls in Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida! So far Cain has that Reagan/Clinton Teflon coating.
I am not surprised at all by the staying power of Cain with his GOP supporters. His Teflon coating has certainly had a workout these past few weeks - and only time will tell if he will be able to avoid any permanent scratches. He has Karl Rove and most of the GOP Establishment backing Mitt - they will pull out all the stops to push Mitt into the nomination. But based on Clinton's and Reagan's past experiences I am not going to write off Mr. Cain. Politics is often about people's feelings for a candidate. If someone is likeable it can carry them a long way.
Don't be surprised if Ron Paul pulls out an upset in Iowa. I recall reading somewhere that over half of the Iowa GOP leaders are also part of Paul's campaign.
What would be most interesting would be a Ron Paul, Jon Huntsman 1-2 with Romney taking 3rd with 23%-27%.
I wonder if Ron Paul actually won Iowa, would most of the media begin to pay attention to him then ?
Well Huckabee got a few days worth of media attention after he won. Til he lost. No reason Paul couldn't follow suit.
Why not spend it? His chances are becoming thinner and thinner but he has to do something with the money so why not spend it on the (left leaning?) media. Let the people working in the broadcast industry get that money. They will certainly do more good with it than give it to a loser. They might even have enough to create a new job for someone or give some hard working 99%er a raise.
Sorry teatards but Romney is your nominee and President Obama will beat him in November. Perry, Newt, Cain, Paul -- all going nowhere.
Perry is good distraction to siphon off some of the Left's energy.
The best one in that role was Sarah. She could get the libbies hair on end without actually doing anything. Hillarious.
Gee now you're eating your own without any help at all from the Democrats. In fact, you keep going this way, you won't even any interference at ALL to lose. Hillarious!
According to lib logic all Problems in the US can contribute to the following items. Any dem or liberal rebuttal or attack will contain a reference to one of the following as the root of their argument.
TEA Party
Bush
GOP
Obstruction
Fox
Rich People
Greed
As where greed may be the root of evil, there is no greed greater than socialism, wealth redistribution and feeding on the success of others. Dems and libs are narrow minded, rude, arrogant, immoral, fascist, masochist, blind, sheep, being led to slaughter by the very things they hold dear.
What percentage pays taxes? To receive benefits from something which you have not, do not and will not contribute too is theft, unless you are physically and mentally unfit for anything.
The world does not owe you a living Grasshopper!
Libs and Dems, the winter is coming 2013
