Thompson To Air Television Ads In South Carolina

09 Nov 2007 07:48 am

From Iowa... to South Carolina.

Media buyers report that ex-Sen. Fred Thompson's presidential campaign has a large, statewide ad buy planned for next week in South Carolina.

No word yet on when -- or whether -- Thompson plans to air campaign commercials in New Hampshire, a state he has been accused of ignoring.

Thompson's nomination strategy is predicated on a strong finish in Iowa and a win in South Carolina.

"If the primary isn't held, Dingell said the current fallback plan is to hold a Democratic caucus the same day as New Hampshire's primary, which will take place in early January -- although the date has not yet been set.

"I want the primary because I think it's the right thing," Dingell said. "But I'd still be happy if we have a caucus on the same day as New Hampshire.""
