NPR: Obama's Olympic Ad Buy

Obama's Olympic Ad Buy

The 30-second spot, called "Hands," talks creating jobs by building the alternative energy industry. It will air during Olympics coverage on national cable and on network affiliates in all 50 states. The Obama campaign reportedly plans to spend $5 million on ads during the Games.

This is a pretty safe ad -- it won't go viral on YouTube, but it also won't inspire controversy and a press release war with the McCain campaign. Maybe that's a good choice amidst the recent concerns that Obama is overexposed.
