They are combining the paid with an aggressive earned media play too so they get more than the value of their spending. The buy budget is smart--DC Metro cable interconnects and DC broadcast around the speech. I think it is realistic.

The idea is important. As John always reminds us, "Keep Bush in the Frame.". so, yes, I would strongly support this, so long as you, Tom, think the budget is realistic and not wasteful.

 As part of their Bush Legacy Project Americans United is looking for $150K for their State of the Union media play. Framing Bush's legacy, etc as part of our Bush strategy.
 
 I'd like to recommend to Fund for America that they receive a grant ASAP.
