TV blitz comes to W.Va.

West Virginia: Now it's your turn, mountaineers.

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, who's seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, today became the first candidate to start airing campaign ads specifically aimed at West Virginia, according to West Virginia MetroNews.

The state's primary is set for May 13.

According to the Associated Press, the recent Pennsylvania primary was a cash windfall to the state's TV stations. Obama spent about $11 million on television commercials, while his main opponent, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, spent about $5 million.

West Virginia’s primary is May 13, one week after the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.
On a separate note, thanks for the item on WIXZ. I went there on occasion in one of my vain bids to get a job.
