“I do not have a TV station. I believe we are the only State in the Nation that does not have its own commercial television station. That is not because we are good, bad, or indifferent. It is because it would make no economic sense. I live within 22 miles of the antennae of every one of the major stations--every one of the major networks in America. They are located in Philadelphia. I live in Delaware. And so what happens when I buy an ad or my opponent buys an ad on television? For every 100 people who see the ad, 96 of them live in New Jersey, Maryland, or Pennsylvania and are unable to vote for or against me. But I have to pay for them all. Now I am not complaining because I have an advantage. I am an incumbent. It is an advantage and a disadvantage. The disadvantage is that you are an incumbent. People do not like incumbents. The advantage is that people know your name. If you are an unknown person running, like I was the first time, how do you get to the point where even enough people know your name--unless you have a lot of money?”
