What is the problem with being on TV within 60 days of an election. I am in advertising and just did some research into this for my boss. We are running tv spots for a retail company during the political season. The political canidates are eligible for the lowest rates the tv stations offer to any advertiser within 60 days of a general election and within 45 days of a primary. Are there other requirements for the canidates as to what spots they can run and when?

They wouldn't be picking the president, they would be picking a canidate to run for president. But perhaps non-citizens shouldn't pick a canidate. Let me see, how much did foreign corporations donate to campaign funds last year?
