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.
From October 21st to October 28th, the Obama campaign spent nearly $21.5 million while the McCain campaign spent nearly $7.5 million. Another $6.7 million was spent by the Republican Party and $2.2 million was spent by interest groups.
“Because these numbers are for the most recent period for which data are available, they do not include the millions Obama spent Wednesday night on a 30-minute infomercial that aired on seven networks. 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.”
