DCCC: Media Buy is “First Act”

Related to the earlier post that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had bought TV time for 31 House district races, none of them in Alabama, I am alerted to a statement on the DCCC blog Saturday from DCCC Executive Director Brian Wolff:

Our initial media buy is the first act of a many act play. As we have been all cycle, the DCCC is focused, prepared, and organized. Watch what we do over the next four months and our aggressive strategy to expand the playing field and strengthen the Democratic Majority will become clear.

“First act of a many act play” fits with the strategist’s observation that “there are many races [the DCCC] will be playing in that are not in that list.” For example, while Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District is not a part of the initial media buy, AL-02 Democratic nominee Bobby Bright is part of the DCCC’s Red to Blue program.

Another Democratic insider likened it to a chess game where the players are thinking many turns down the road, and where all is not revealed in the beginning.
