Christine O'Donnell promotes 30 minute TV spots featuring "real people's stories", but there's a problem. It appears as though no one actually bought the TV time. The deadline for last-minute independent expenditures was October 31st, and for a special airing tonight at 11:30 PM, the media buy would have had to have been done by Friday, latest. I've been through all the independent expenditure reports, and I can't find any record of a huge media buy for O'Donnell.
When I first heard about this, I rolled my eyes, because it assumes that someone is actually willing to drop a whole lot of money for three 30-minute spots on television. Even if it's a local station, it isn't exactly chicken feed to buy up that much time. When a candidate is down 20 points, that seems like a real Hail Mary based in no one's reality but O'Donnell's.
