are the tea leaves coming up "loser" for the Ryan Romney act?
Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan will spend $2 million on TV ads asking Wisconsin voters to send him back to the House of Representatives, POLITICO has learned.
Ryan’s congressional campaign manager Kevin Seifert confirmed that House Budget Committee chairman plans to spend $1.5 million on ads on local broadcast stations and cable in Milwaukee. The campaign will spend an additional $500,000 on ads in Madison between Oct. 18 and Nov. 6.
has he thrown in the towel, what message is he sending to their base?
On the Milwaukee NBC affiliate alone, Ryan for Congress has already spent $65,000 on ad buys this month, according to records filed with the Federal Communications Commission. The ads will air from Sept. 12 through Sept. 25 on programs including local news broadcasts, Meet the Press, The Tonight Show, and Sunday Night Football.
 Zerban spokesperson Karthik Ganapathy said the campaign was not surprised to hear about Ryan’s ad buy.
“We knew this was coming for quite a while now,” Ganapathy told POLITICO. “He’s spending $2 million on ads this cycle in the district. That’s more than he has spent in the past. He’s clearly worried about something.”
