Long Thompson Hits the Road, Not the Airwaves

By Peter Ambrose

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jill Long
Thompson has gone more than a month without television advertising.

She's spending this week touting her economic plan to voters
around the state and says she will be back on the air "very soon."

Republican Governor Mitch Daniels has outraised and outspent Long Thompson. Quarterly campaign finance reports filed June 30th
showed that Daniels spent nearly $7.3 million and still had $2.8 million left, while Long Thompson spent about $1.5 million and had a balance of $1.5 million.

Daniels has run television commercials continuously since March.
Long Thompson aired her first general election commercial in July, but hasn't run a commercial for about four weeks. Today, Long Thompson spoke to a group of about 200 Rotary Club members in Indianapolis.

She also has visits this week in Terre Haute, Lafayette, Jeffersonville, Evansville, East Chicago, Fort Wayne and Mishawaka
to talk about her economic plan.
