I am for IA and NH. I know the boss wants a national cable buy to reach the inside the beltway types, press and donors. But press will hate this. We will lose ground with them because of it. (I am still for doing it). Actual voters should see and see before the hearing. * Let's def discuss when we review scripts but I think we gotta do this in IA and Nh. Our thesis is that our stuff doesn't cut through as well because it doesn't intersect w the crap they hear about her on the news. I feel like this is the kinda stuff we need to do to actually move numbers right now. At least worth trying this month. If numbers don't move then we can go back to plan A.

Research had pulled for us some of our best news clips. The trick, of course, is to connect Benghazi to emails in a way that’s credible. But we discussed different ways to do it. Ø The difficult part here is testing – if we want to ship something early next week, our testing options are very limited, and I feel like we really need to understand whether voters will believe that we can credibly conflate Benghazi and emails. But we do have groups tonight and tomorrow afternoon – so tonight, we’re testing some video clips tonight in the groups and this spot that the digital team mocked up: https://app.frame.io/f/2Kh530dn Ø GMMB is working on a more polished spot for tomorrow afternoon’s groups. Looking ahead to next week, I think we still need to resolve whether this is limited to a national cable buy or whether we’re really going into IA and NH with this (currently mixed opinions on team). To do the latter, we’d be pulling other spots off the air before otherwise planned. Please let me know if you’d like to further discuss any of this. Oren
