I bet if we looked into president Obama's re-election plan there was next to nothing spent on AM Radio.
The first rule of Political Fight Club is to go where you voters are and make sure they are going to vote for you. And sad as it might seem, those votes are not listening to AM radio.
Of course there is always the exception to the rule but it is a classic mistake to elevate personal opinions and likes into a large collection of people just like they are.
I grew up on AM radio and have a lot of fond memories of those shows but that era is going to continue to be more irrelevant as more and more media choices are offered.
