MO-GOV: Hulshof Running Out of Money

This is clearly the point in the election campaign where you get a pretty firm idea who will win or lose a lot of races, and this is one of them. According to KY3 Political Note is reporting that Republican Kenny Hulsolf is caling back his ad campaign.

Kenny Hulshof’s campaign for Governor ran less television ads on KY3-TV this past week than it did the week before, a potential troubling sign of the financial state of his campaign, political insiders tell the KY3 Political Notebook.

According to KY3 Sales records, Hulshof spent $19,000 on television ads on Springfield’s top-rated television station for this week, beginning Oct. 6th. On the previous week, beginning Sept. 29th, the Hulshof camp spent $37,000 on KY3. That’s almost a 50 percent cut in ad buys in just seven days. For the week of Sept. 22, Hulshof spent $40,000 on KY3.

For comparison, Jay Nixon’s campaign is moving in the opposite direction, incrementally increasing its advertising week by week. For the week of Sept. 22, Nixon spent $50,000 on KY3. On Sept. 29th, the campaign jumped to $56,000 worth of ads for the week. The past week, beginning Oct. 6th, Nixon spent $62,000 on KY3.

It’s been expected that Nixon would win and the money obviously shows. Now the DGA can focus on helping our candidated in WA and NC and possibly salvage something out of IN.
