The biggest primary election day of the year: February 5th.

The biggest advertising opportunity of the year: February 3rd.

That’s right, the Super Bowl and all of its nationwide advertising potential is just two days before the 20+ state February 5th super duper primary election extravaganza. The candidates are considering taking advantage.
