Ad spending

[pepper11]

The National Journal state by state ad numbers show Romney starting to pull away on the air war. Not including national buys, Romney + friends are outspending Obama + friends 26.5 million to 10.9 million (245% Romney advantage).  Here is a state by state breakdown and the percentage Romney is outspending Obama.

PA: 370%
NC: 310%
FL: 245%
IA: 240%
VA: 220%
CO: 210%
NV: 200%
OH: 180%
NH: 110%

WI: cant be calculated (no Obama spending), 1.2 mil by Romney
MI: cant be calculated (no Obama spending), .8 mil by Romney

NM: no spending by either campaign
MN: no spending by either campaign
MO: not listed as swing state

Interesting numbers. Weird to see NC and PA so high. Also surprising to see so little Romney spending in NH.  Maybe its not as close as it seems there.  The Michigan money also seems like its probably being wasted.

The national buys probably expand Romneys advantage, but not by much. RNC has a pretty decent national buy this week.

Trickle-down politics is much more rooted in reality than trickle-down economics.
