The Bush campaign has in excess of $60 million it HAS to, by law, spend before he is nominated - so there will be a blitz between now and the republican convention in September. After the nomination he's limited to the $75 million in public (your tax dollars at work) money.

I'm not sure that is true....my understanding was that was only binding if a candidate voluntarily limits contributions. My understanding was that Bush will not accept federal funds and the attendant strings.
