Obama Burying McCain on Television Ads
New analysis from the Wisconsin Advertising Project finds Sen. Barack Obama is outspending Sen. John McCain 3-to-1 on television advertising.

They combine to put the Obama campaign on track to spend more money in October on broadcast TV - over $100 million dollars - than any campaign has ever spent in history.”
