I think McCain has probably spent about $10 million so far and JD probably less then $500,000 and yet they are very close. Every street corner has a McCain sign on it, every day you get a piece of mail about McCain or slamming JD from the McCain camp, every day there are ads on the radio for McCain (don’t watch TV so can’t tell you there) but McCain is still in trouble.
Reminds me of the political legend about radical feminist Bella Abzug....an incumbent with a well-oiled machine, she had armies of people making calls......some got as many as four calls.
But the tactic backfired----she lost---people voted against her b/c she was so persistent.
