Advertising
Because of the attention given to New Hampshire, the effect of even a small ad buy is often magnified manyfold by national media coverage. Interest groups seeking to influence presidential prospects or at least draw attention to specific issues don't need to spend too much; sometimes a tiny or even microscopic buy will suffice.

-The week of Aug. 1, 2005, NARAL Pro-Choice NY ran a TV spot highlighting Gov. George Pataki's veto of the Unintended Pregnancy Prevention Act (A.116/S3661) and charging that his move is a flip-flop motivated by 2008 presidential ambitions. "Hail to the Chief" ran in Manchester, NH on WMUR-TV (50 GRPs) as well as in Iowa (200 GRPs total-Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Sioux City) and New York.
On July 27, 2005 StemPAC announced plans to run an ad in NH targeting Sen. Bill Frist for "his obstructionist position on stem cell research.” The ad was supposed to start running on July 28. As soon as Frist made his announcement of his new position on the morning of July 29, StemPAC started pulling the ad. StemPAC founder John Hlinko states, "It is possible that it may have ran Thursday night on some of the cable stations, but the far larger part of the buy had definitely not yet begun." Hlinko added, "But the impending ad was covered for sure in Hotline on Wed and Thurs, as well as National Journal. So, suffice to say, even if it hadn't run, the word was out for sure among the inside the beltway community, and we assume -- Senator Frist's office."
