That total does not include the money spent on the half-hour “infomercial” that the Democrat produced and aired on Wednesday. In addition, the Republican National Committee (RNC) spent $6.7 million on White House ads in the same span.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/obama-heavily-outspends-mccain-on-tv-ads-2008-10-31.html"><P class="MsoNoSpacing">The bulk of the ads were purchased in red states. The RNC spent more than 90 percent of its money in those places, compared to more than 70 percent each for the Obama and McCain campaigns.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/obama-heavily-outspends-mccain-on-tv-ads-2008-10-31.html">The Democrat is pursuing a strategy that makes Florida, Pennsylvania and Virginia priorities, spending $4.6 million in Florida last week and a combined $5.1 million in Pennsylvania and Virginia.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B2D54B8D-BDF1-439E-97A1-A2C86B4B0298/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
