The McCain and Obama presidential campaigns continue to spend massively in the three Southern swing states, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia.The Wisconsin Advertising Project reports that the two campaigns spent $28 million on TV ads over the last week -- $17.5 million for Obama, $11 million for McCain.
The numbers show the Obama campaign banking heavily on turning at least one of the Southern states: Florida, Virginia and North Carolina were the 2nd-, 4th- and 6th-biggest recipients, respectively, of Obama's TV ad dollars.
McCain, on the other hand, is investing more in the Midwest and Colorado -- although the McCain camp recently admitted it was pulling out of Michigan, the state that ranked 3rd for McCain's TV dollars last week.
