Poor guy, the name is just too much fun to play with. Anyway, going back to the Capitol Fax, Hull is reported to be dropping an $8 million media buy. That is $8,000,000.
HULL STUFF Blair Hull’s campaign is likely going up this weekend with a huge barrage of TV ads, according to insiders. Hull has reportedly committed to spending as much as $8 million between now and the end of the campaign, several inside sources said.
So far, Hull has been unable to convince his ex-wife to appear in a TV ad to defend him against allegations she, herself, made against him about domestic abuse. Hull and his aides have tried repeatedly to make the case, but the deal has not yet been sealed. Hull’s children appear in a new newspaper ad, however.
She’d have to get on TV soon because if she does it later, it’ll just drag it out. Over the weekend would probably minimize the overall damage and let him get back on message. Most of this will blow over by the end of the weekend, but it is taking valuable time and momentum from him now.
But don’t underestimate what $8 million can do to a campaign.
now Jack! (as the Rauschenbergerers on Illinois Leader like to refer to him) is being pressured to release sealed records (custody, apparently, not divorce) and folks have bothered to verify that Chico’s divorce records are open, how about some scrutiny of the laydeez? Skinner and Pappas are both divorced; the latter’s could be a hoot (just a hunch, no inside info).
