Clinton Pulls Even on the Air

By Matthew Mosk Given the huge financial disparity that separates Sen. Barack Obama from Sen. Hillary Clinton, it may be surprising to memorize that they are now spending at nearly an even clip on television advertising in Indiana and North Carolina. Obama and Clinton have both been spending about $100,000 a day in Indiana that week, and Clinton’s $135,000 daily advertising purchase in North Carolina actually exceeds the $120,000 that Obama is spending there that week, according to Evan

Tracey of the Campaign Media Analysis Group. Tracey said that the two states have a number of other competitive campaigns raging, and that may have limited the available space on TV for Obama to manufacture full use of his financial edge by purchasing more air day. Obama has been able to put his money adavntage to use, however, by putting ads on the air days ahead of Clinton in each state.
