Both campaigns are spending hard in the final week.

I read somewhere a sentence tht makes lots of sence - The campaign's worst nightmare is waking up on Nov 3rd with cash on hand.

They have the money - they spend it. There is a certain limit on how many ads you can run in a single state. Oversaturating it won't make you any good and can only harm you.

Remember when Gore gave the Kerry campaign $6m left over from the 2000 campaign?

The legality or otherwise of this notwithstanding, I remember wondering what on earth he was doing with a spare $6m.

Reckon $6m could just about have sprung for a GOTV effort to the tune of, say, 600-odd Floridians?

That is weird. Where did you see that story? I wonder if it's in the FEC filings that way.

Gore gives Democrats $6 million

There are sooooo many loopholes in what are jokingly refered to as "campaign spending limits" that both parties have piles of cash.

Prior to McCain Feingold you needed a fairly bright 6 year old to figure out how to gut and violate the spirit of the law while still technically being legal.

Post McCain Feingold you now need a moderately bright 12 year old.

There are, effectively, no rules.
