I stopped by the Comcast St. Paul offices to see which candidates were buying TV spots on cable and at what price. Barack Obama is running 88 spots between 1/24 through 2/4 at a cost of $20,900. His ads will run on Bravo, Comedy Central, MTV, Sci Fi, TBS and USA Network. No ads were bought on CNN, MSNBC or any other news channel. It's clear the campaign is targeting younger voters.
Ron Paul will run 92 spots between 1/28 and 2/4 at a cost of $14,900. His ads are split between CNN and Fox News.
No other presidential candidates bought time.
