Regardless of who is nominated for the Supreme Court tonight (July 19th) by President Bush, expect to see political-interest groups on all sides of the debate run TV commercials on cable news channels, local TV stations in Washington, and TV stations in home states of key Senators whose votes could determine the fate of whoever is nominated for the Court.
Reportdely, all sides are set to spend between them many millions of dollars.
Chances are that in some states whose Senators are considered "key votes" in the confirmation process, retailers hoping to advertise back-to-school items may find it very difficult to get their spots on TV this year, thanks to all the issue-advertising spots for and against the Court nominee.
It may be like 2004 was in some states, where there was so much political advertising on television that many non-political advertisers found it difficult or even impossible to buy TV spots right before Election Day.
