They are trying to stay below the radar and are probably pleased with the low but steadily rising polls (Ivers already said that is where they want to be, and second it tickles the hell out of the grassroots and motivates them to do even more.) At some point a massive media ad blitz will be unveiled attacking a certain position or positions like Reagan's "The bear" commercials. The cheap looking commercial people are seeing in NH, IO, SC, NV and are probably getting really tired off (purposely made to look cheap from the start and only to get the name recognition out there and not turn any heads at least not yet), will be replaced by amazing professional quality ones that attack issues at quadruple the rate they are viewed today.
You know RP is a frugal man with money. He's been campaigning over last 30 years and never had big campaign budgets. I could just see it his eyes when he made the $5mil Q3 quarter, he was thinking how to best spend that money, then when 11/5 came he probably got his staff together and said, OK we've got huge war chest, how do we use it to get us elected, lets do something big.
I was suprised that they only spent $400K on radio ads, and $1.1M on TV ads, that is like 5% of his budget. You know he has to spend it all before super Tuesday, he won't keep it, too honest for that, and he is just too seasoned for a political to not know what to do with it.. So if he is not spending it now, the amount of time he can spend it in, is being squeezed more and more, you know something big is in the air.
I can't wait.
