Republicans buy ads like they govern: Incompetently

NRA attack ad against Michelle Nunn in Georgia Senate race 2014


Karl Rove is raking in the commissions, with new ad buys like this one:
With the Senate race in Colorado tightening, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads groups have pummeled Senator Mark Udall, the Democratic incumbent, with millions of dollars in negative ads. Crossroads begins its biggest assault on Wednesday: a $3.5 million barrage attacking Mr. Udall’s national security credentials.
The Kochs are getting in one last binge:
Freedom Partners Action Fund, a “super PAC” with ties to the billionaire brothers Charles G. and David H. Koch, will broadcast $6.5 million worth of advertising in six states in the closing days of the election campaign, officials there said.
But what exactly is this really buying Republicans? A lot less than what Democorats are getting. In fact, Republicans are spending $5 million more in the Senate battlegrounds these last two weeks, yet they're getting 10,000 fewer ad spots.

 Senate DEM: $27.2M, 46,180 spots
GOP: $32.5M, 36,086 spots
Governor
DEM: $8.5M, 16,824 spots
GOP: $11.4M, 17,193 spots
House
DEM: $10.4M, 15,396 spots
GOP: $12M, 16,187 spots

they really need to lose that fiscal responsible BS they get so giddy in putting out these slam ads that they pay no attention to content, truth, or obviously cost, do you really want them holding the purse strings any longer?  looks like the only one getting over is the shyster from last election Karl Rove, but you might remember this 2012 faux pas?
