Titus health vote is good for TV stations

More groups are buying television ads in the district of Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev.

In the wake of a House vote in favor of health reform legislation groups for and against the legislation have spent millions buying ads in targeted Congressional districts like that of Titus', the most closely contested district in Nevada.

Politico today has this item about health reform supporters buying ads in response to ads from opponents.

"PROGRESSIVES are hitting back against the Chamber and 60 Plus Association ads targeting 12 Democrats and one Republican who supported health reform. Americans United for Change, AFSCME and SEIU are teaming up for $1.75 million worth of counter-messaging in the districts of Reps. Berry, Cao, Connolly, Donnelly, Ellsworth, Hill, Hodes, Michaud, Murphy, Perriello, Pomeroy, Snyder and Titus.

The AUC and AFSCME ads go up in eight districts today. The two groups are expected to spend up to $750,000 for a week of broadcast and cable air time. SEIU is expected to buy into the action with $1 million."
