Two conservative advocacy groups are in the midst of an ad-buying spree so intense that when combined, they have bought more commercials in the country’s major markets than President Obama’s campaign, according to new disclosure records analyzed by The Washington Times.
The new buys also dwarf Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s recent purchases, and reach geographically well beyond the markets Mr. Obama is targeting.
Last week Americans for Prosperity, which has connections to the conservative billionaire Koch brothers, bought 282 ads, including 23 in Charlotte, 23 in Philadelphia, 24 in Las Vegas and 21 each in Minneapolis and Albuquerque.
