Defenders of Wildlife expands anti-Palin wolf ad buy

[rhombus]

Excellent news.

The wildlife group is expanding the reach of the provocative ad. Starting this week, what had been limited to certain markets in Florida, Michigan and Ohio will now air in Colorado, Virginia and Wisconsin.

It also will air in Missouri in time for Thursday's vice presidential debate in St. Louis.

The ad has received widespread notice on the Internet and has been an effective fundraising tool for Defenders of Wildlife. The group says it raised $600,000 in the six hours after it was released in mid-September and says it now has raised $1 million.

The group is aiming the ad at suburban women and moderate independent voters.

Note:The TV ad has already been independently rated as "the first ad in over a month that seems to have broken through," according to HCD Research which shows ads it is evaluating to a focus group of 312 Democrats, Republicans and Independents, and then rates their response (http://www.mediacurves.com/Politics/J7011-Anit-PalinAd-WildlifeRecord/).

1. This is awesome news!!!

I'm a proud member myself. Palin's stance on wildlife issues is deplorable.

2. I know a couple who are not political at all,

but after seeing this ad, they are adamantly against McCain-Palin.
