Time to take a gander at presidential campaign ad spending this last week, in millions:
Add it all up, Republicans spent
$22.93 million last week attacking Pres. Barack Obama, while Democrats, pretty much just the Obama campaign, spent
$7.69 million. Not sure what Republicans are getting for all that cash spent. It's not as if that massive spending advantage is buying them big gains
in the polling.
Every week I get more convinced that Republican billionaires are pissing away their money on this race.
Additional thoughts:
Still shaking my head at both the 3-1 spending advantage Republicans enjoy, and how little that spending has bought them. Conservative billionaires didn't get that way by throwing money away. They may be fully committed this cycle, but I wonder if Citizens United isn't done in by the courts or Congress, but by rich people spending their cash on more fruitful endeavors (like lobbyists).
It's seeming far easier and more effective to buy a lawmaker, than it is to buy an election.
