Weird. Haven't seen any here yet (NEPA,) just the nationwide Obama commercial once.

Maybe he's running national ads? Seems a little odd to me, but maybe he thinks its easier to just run national ads for Super Tuesday than scheduling slots in 24 individual states. Still wierd...

JANUARY 07, 2008 -

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who last week won the Iowa Republican caucus, has aired only 83 TV commercials over the past year in New Hampshire, whose primary is Jan. 8, compared to 7,247 for his Republican opponent Mitt Romney, who finished second to Huckabee in Iowa.

According to Nielsen Co. data, Huckabee has run the fewest number of TV commercials locally in New Hampshire among the Republican candidates, while Romney has run the most. Republican John McCain has aired 3,670 commercials over the course of the past year, while Rudy Guiliani has aired 2,797. Ron Paul has aired 789 local TV spots.

Among the Democrats, Iowa caucus winner Barack Obama has run 5,369 TV spots in the New Hampshire market over the past year, compared to 5,110 for Hilary Clinton and 1,417 for John Edwards.

Romney has been the most steady user of television over the past year, running at least 100 commercials each month. Most of the major candidates for both parties ran more than 1,000 TV spots in the state in December.

Really. How can the Ron Paul Campaign criticize ANYONE else's campaign?
