That might enlighten a few people, beyond what you've already blogged. Perhaps it will help to boost the fund-raising, to listen to him stand against Coakley.DINORightMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067345219054999889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-33655567703367108262010-01-05T16:13:55.950-05:002010-01-05T16:13:55.950-05:00Coakley probably CAN out-fundraise Brown over the ...Coakley probably CAN out-fundraise Brown over the next two weeks. The question is, how mch does that help her? As Cilizza points out, Coakley is already a pretty well-known, well-defined candidate who is running a cautious campaign predicated on the fact there are a lot more Dems them Republicans in Massachusetts. How will purchasing more TV ads really help her? Is she going to switch gears and start campaigning on a dramatically different theme? Is she going to go negative on Brown (thus driving up his name recognition and risking backlash)? I don't see it.<br /><br />Brown may have less money to spend, but he can probably get more bang for his buck than Coakley can. Money can help him in ways that it seemingly can't help his opponent. Two things come to mind immediately: (1) Since he currently has relatively low name recognition, Brown has the opportunity to introduce himself to more potential supporters who have never heard of him. It is unlikely Coakley has many potential new supporters who haven't already heard of her.(2) The visibility Brown would create just by getting more commercials on the air will signal to a lot of angry, fed-up people who assumed the race was decided when Coakley won the Dem primary that this is an actual, competitive race.Conrad Bibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422935506611755825noreply@blogger.com
