As the Rocky Mountain News reports:
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama is expected to spend about $400,000 more on Denver television ads than his Republican rival during the remaining 12 days of the race…
The estimates are based on advertising purchases that the candidates have made, as disclosed in public files at 9News, CBS 4, Denver’s 7, Fox 31 and Comcast. The candidates still can change their ads.
The numbers are only approximations for the last days of the campaign because some advertising contracts cover ads that ran earlier in the month.
It’s not that John McCain will be completely absent from the airwaves–he won’t be silent, just dramatically reduced from previous levels. And his appearance in Colorado today signals a desire to stay and fight–but it’s increasingly asymmetrical warfare.

Did I already miss it? I heard he was going to run a 30-minute program on all three “major” networks, and that a baseball game was going to be moved back a bit to accommodate it.
I’d really enjoy seeing what a candidate could do with 30 minutes of airtime to try to “close the deal” with undecided voters.
Bill Kristol – that half-baked idiot – seriously suggested that McCain basically stop spending any money on anything else and do essentially the same thing himself: 30-minute buys explaining why we should vote for him.
…just like moving the speech to MHS (never Invesco!)
Of course, all it takes is money.
Does the three “major networks” mean Fox will have to do reruns of Bill O’Reilly?
That’s why they had to move the world series by 8 minutes.
They offered equal time to John McCain too. Though I don’t know if McCain has any plans to take them up on it.
NBC, ABC, CBS….aren’t they the three major networks, despite Murdoch’s desires?
Isn’t Obama buying the time? Fox would just give the time to McCain? Didn’t know that they supported the fair speech concept…
There’s no such thing as the Big Three anymore. Fox has supplanted itself into the 4 slot. Besides they’re the ones airing the World Series, so that’s why I even mentioned it.
Yes, Obama is buying the time, but Fox offered a similar slot to McCain if he wanted it. I assume he would have to purchase his time as well.
Maybe now it should be The Four.
Remember when Detroit had The Big Three? Putting American Motors,Packard, Studebaker, Checker, etc. on the outside looking in.
Now Chrysler may merge with GM. So that leaves us with The Two?
I read a sci-fi about twenty years ago, it was set in the next millenium. There was one corporation left in the world and everyone worked for it. It’s name? Microsoft-Disney! I think monopolization is the natural order of corporations.
…or one of the original big 3. Is that wrong?
from the N.Y. Times
Though to be fair, many of the most vital campaign people are not paid anything.
Of course, when lobbying for Big Oil is your day job , you find other ways to make money.
is looking pretty. 🙂
