Follow the money

Obama advertising up nationwide:
In a sign that the Obama campaign is getting serious about tapping his financial advantage over McCain with six weeks to go, Obama's overall spending on TV ads has jumped 50% in the last two weeks, while McCain's has held steady -- and Obama is now outspending his rival even as he's up on the air in more states.


But down in MO:
Interestingly, Obama's spending has remained relatively steady in Michigan and has gone up by less dramatic margins in hotly-contested Ohio, Tracey says. Meanwhile, Obama has scaled down spending in Missouri by 40%.


Pointing this fact out, and the accompanying inference, that Obama will likely win the election but lose Missouri, is going to make me very popular in the office.
