Buying the election?

Money spent on TV ads
Primary
Obama: $75 million
Clinton: $46 million

General
Obama: $205 million
McCain: $119 million

This doesn't include the amount of replays on cable TV or the production value or the negativity and/or inaccuracy of the ads. This part of a transferred over post. I need to look into the recent spending disparity between barry and McCain. It's a joke and it's based on a boldfaced lie by the self-proclaimed man of integrity's broken promise.

With outspending his opponents as much as 10:1, having limitless finances, a legion of attack bots, a thoroughly corrupt proobama media, why isn't he ahead in every state?

As far as the primary went. From Townhall's AMANDA CARPENTER (6-2-08)

The Wisconsin Project's study said "the advertising advantage alone, of course, does not explain Obama's victories in these contests," but notes "in the nine states that Obama won in a two week period following the February 5 Super Tuesday primaries, Obama, not only had an advantage in the number of ads that he aired, but in most of the nine contests, he was also first on the air and had the paid media airways all to himself for a significant part of the short campaigns. For example, in Nebraska, during the short nine-day advertising war, Obama was up alone, with his messages not countered for six days." Obama was "up alone" in Wisconsin for six days, and in Maryland and Virginia he ruled the airwaves for 7 out of the 12 days of intense campaigning against Clinton.

Special interest groups supplemented Obama's spending. [Which he lied about.] The Service Employees International Union has purchased more than $2 million worth of ads to benefit Obama's candidacy. This number includes an $800,000 negative ad campaign against McCain. Likewise, the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org and the environmental lobbying group Friends of the Earth has spent $373,000 and $138,000 attacking McCain, respectively.
