California recall, what the insiders are talking about: How soon does Schwarzenegger go on TV? When will Schwarzenegger's campaign Web site be operational, beyond taking donations? When will the East Coast media learn that these candidates don't plan to perform on an East Coast schedule? Which California reporter will get the first Schwarzenegger interview? Which represents the greater number: the number of investigative reporters the Los Angeles Times has assigned to Schwarzenegger, or the number of Democrats running for president? California recall, Arnold: California has a bipartisan tradition of political elites sharing information about polling and TV ad buys more regularly than in any other state in the union. Regarding ad buys, several Democratic sources say that the Schwarzenegger campaign has begun making inquiries with stations about rates for going on the air Tuesday, 8/19. The Schwarzenegger campaign could not be reached for comment on this. As we Noted yesterday, buying the state for a week costs about $1.5 million to $2 million. Arnold could obviously afford to go on next week and stay on with his own money through election day. If he goes on the air, he could, of course, potentially consolidate his current lead. On the other hand, there is a strange change in the state for this election: normally there is almost NO television coverage in the state of politics, and paid media dominates. This race will have so much free media that the paid advertising probably will be more akin in its effect to a presidential campaign, in which news coverage is more determinative.
