    Super PAC backing Scott Walker announces $9 million ad buy

    MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A super PAC backing Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's run for the White House announced a $9.25 million ad buy Wednesday for three early voting states, expanding on a $7 million television ad campaign that starts in Iowa next week.

    The ad buy announced by officials with the Unintimidated PAC comes as Walker tries to right his campaign after shooting to the top of the Republican field in Iowa earlier this year, only to plummet in recent polls as billionaire investor Donald Trump and neurosurgeon Ben Carson gained momentum.

    The new ad purchase includes $8 million in South Carolina, $725,000 in New Hampshire and $400,000 in Nevada.


    The Unintimidated PAC, run by two of Walker's former top advisers who managed his three successful runs for governor the past four years, announced that it raised $20 million in the first half of this year.


    News of Walker's ad buys comes just two weeks after the heavily funded super PAC backing his GOP rival Jeb Bush announced it was spending at least $10 million in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina as well.


    While Walker's Iowa ad campaign begins next week and runs until the Feb. 1 caucuses, the effort in the other three states won't begin until later this year or early next year. The ads backing Bush all begin this month and run through the end of the year.


    The South Carolina ads backing Walker will appear in all major broadcast television markets, as well as cable news and the top 10 cable networks, beginning Nov. 7 and running through the Feb. 20 primary, an adviser with the Unintimidated PAC said.


    The New Hampshire ads are reserved for the week before the Feb. 9 primary. Walker plans to ride his Harley-Davidson motorcycle around New Hampshire on Sunday and Monday.


    The Nevada ads will run the week before the Feb. 23 caucus on broadcast and cable networks.


    The idea of a parallel outside group that can raise unlimited sums from individuals, corporations and groups is not new. Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, attempted it later in his campaign. Other Republican candidates in addition to Bush and Walker have super PACs backing them as well.

    Scott Walker Wins Koch Straw Poll, $900 Million in the Offing

    Submitted by Mary Bottari on August 6, 2015 - 10:41am




    The Koch brothers and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) held their annual summits in California this year. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was a featured speaker at both, capturing enthusiastic applause as he won the Koch summit straw poll last night reports Politico.

    As the Koch network of funders gets ready to unleash an unimaginable $900 million on the 2016 campaign, they are busily trying to remake their public image and spin undisclosed dark money as a plus in political campaigns.

    Charles Koch told the billionaires and millionaires attending his Freedom Partners summit that they needed to recast their multi-million dollar effort to sway elections in the mold of "freedom movements," such as the American civil rights movement. In a similar vein, attendees of the ALEC conference were busy recasting the notion of undisclosed "dark money" in political campaigns as "anonymous free speech" similar to that engaged in by Lewis Carroll or George Orwell when they relied on pseudonyms to publish various novels.

    Get ready for a trip down the rabbit hole.

    The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is the way to run successful campaigns to win middle class vote. After suggesting a 30 day war we disturbed after 13 years the distribution of world population. Which party was telling that whopper? I'm surprised wh have anyone willing to call us friend and ally in Europe with the immigration problems wee bequeathed them.
