So, anything Kerry raises prior to July 29th has to be spent by then, right? So what's he going to do with all the money he's been rasing in the last couple of months? Has he figured out a way to get around the public finance disadvantage created by having the convention one month before the Reps? Is it possible to spend the money now on items that will be used in the fall? For instance, can he purchase a bunch of advertising now to be aired in August? Can he purchase resources now that will be used to get out the vote in on election day? Can he pre-pay key staff?
If he has to spend it all before the nomination, I suspect we're going to see a July Democratic ad blitz the likes of which we've never seen before. But will that be enough to carry him through August and help him take advantage of his convention bump?
Does anyone out there have any new information on this?
