McCain must spend more money in Florida than he has.
I don’t know what you have been looking at, but I live here and am telling you that so far Obama is outspending McCain at least when it comes to TV ads, radio presence, print advertising. This state has been hit harder with economic problems than most because of the huge drop in the housing market here, foreclosures way up, etc. This state has always been close, was never a reliable red state. It is on the verge of slipping away unless McCain decides to spend a lot more resources in the areas he needs. He still has enough time to win this state back, but it is a situation that has to be handled immediately.
I am glad he does not bother with Michigan, those resources are needed here. Wake up if you think Florida is safe at this point.
Why? About a month ago I saw a report where Obama had spent $5 million in Florida while McCain didn't spend a cent. He didn't need to. He was leading and continues to lead in the Florida polls. Since then Obama and the media have made a huge push on Florida. So McCain has spent some money recently (I don't know exact figures). So? Sounds like smart use of his money to me.
