As one might expect from a well-funded challenger aiming to overtake the frontrunner, Barack Obama led all Democrats in ad spending on WMUR-TV (New Hampshire's only statewide television station)
through the Thanksgiving holidays.
From October 30 through November 26, Obama spent just over half a million dollars ($505,595, to be exact, Cosmo) on 502 ads. Some of these were 30-second spots, others one minute in length. (The senator from Illinois likes the 60-second ads.)
Put another way, Obama has spent about $125,000 a week throughout this month to air 120-135 ads, or about 18 or 19 a day. That's a large buy by Democratic standards -- but not by Mitt Romney's standards (see below post).
