You are so right! The amount of money being spent in these states by Obama speaks volumes. Obama’s burn rate has to be extremely high. Since he didn’t take federal funding and the DNC is way behind in donations, he is going to be going way in debt for the ads or cutting back. I think they are still running so many ads not to admit some states are out of reach.
Liddy Dole in NC was up +1 in a poll today so my guess is that NC will soon be out of reach for Obama. No way Obama wins Indiana with the new voting that requires a picture ID — no more Chicago thugs coming into Gary IN to vote.
I was reading an article about that requirement today, while I looked at Bush's margin in IN in 2004 (60-39%), and then I smiled at Obama supposedly leading in Indiana. One can certainly argue that there is some concern, since McCain or the RNC is spending money there. But I really don't see a problem with the Hoosier state.
