Big spending in Real America
by digby
Here’s one reason why Iowa and New Hampshire insist on being the first states in the presidential nominating contest:
The biggest spender on ads is Jeb Bush’s PAC who has apparently spent the equivalent of the GDP of a small country and way, way behind him in second place, Marco Rubio. Then Sanders then Clinton. I think what surprises me the most is the fact that Cruz has spent so little. What’s he saving it for?
But as you can see all these millions are very, very good for the Iowa media companies. Why would they give them up?
