Last week, MediaMouse.org looked at local ad spending by the two major party political campaigns and found that the Obama campaign outspent the McCain campaign on television ads in Grand Rapids in September. has found that this is true on the statewide level, with the Obama campaign spending $5.5 million on TV ads compared to $3.6 million spent by the McCain campaign. Even when money spent by the Republican National Committee–which has spent significant amounts to bolster McCain’s campaign–and the Democratic National Committee is factored in, spending on Obama ads far outpaced McCain ads ($6.6 million to $4.7 million).
