McCain Adviser: We're Outspending Obama Three-To-One On TV Ads

On A McCain conference call about the combined $94 million he and the republican National Committee have in cash on hand, campaign manager Rick Davis claimed that they were outspending the Obama campaign by a large margin. "We have spent up until last week probably over $10 million more than Obama has in the last two months on television advertising," Davis said, adding: "From April to this point, we've spent almost three times the amount of TV spending that Obama has." Is it true? The Obama campaign declined to respond to Davis' claim, saying it doesn't comment on its ad buys.It's not easy to verify or disprove this. Such claims are typically based on what a campaign's ad buyers are telling campaign aides about what the other side is spending.
