Obama (still) buying the election

I blogged about this two weeks ago, and the buying of the presidency continues. During the first two weeks of October, the Obama campaign spent more than $100 million -- nearly $300,000 an hour, about 10 times what the McCain campaign spent. (Hat tip: Hot Air.)

As noted in this post earlier today, this is one reason why all the conservative complaints of media bias and criticisms of McCain campaign tactics are moot: When the opponent is burying you in TV ads -- better than a 2-to-1 advantage in swing states -- no tactic can be effectivc, and media bias has nothing to do with it.
