: Who spent more money on advertising, McCain or Obama?
A: Overall, Obama has outspent McCain by nearly 3-to-1, but in the closing week it’s been closer to 5-to-1.
FULL ANSWER
According to figures supplied by the campaign Media Analysis Group of
TNS Media Intelligence, Obama has spent an estimated $280 million on TV
advertising since Jan. 1 of last year through Nov. 1.
McCain has spent less than half as much, just under $134 million,
according to CMAG, which tracks advertising in the top TV markets.
Those figures include amounts spent in both the primary and the
general election campaigns. Since the two candidates clinched the
nominations of their respective parties, the spending disparity has been
greater, reflecting Obama’s greater ability to attract private
donations, and his decision to do without public funds or the spending
limits that go with them.
During the 60 days ending Nov. 1, Obama has outspent McCain on
television by better than 2.5-to-1. And in the most recent week, Obama
has spent $23.6 million to McCain’s $4.8 million, a spending advantage
of nearly 5-to-1.
That’s a Big Difference. What Gives?
There’s no question that Sen. Barack Obama, who opted out of the
public financing system, has raised more money than anyone in the
history of U.S. politics. As a result, Sen. John McCain, who opted to
receive public financing, was at a stark financial disadvantage to his
Democratic rival.
As we reported
earlier, public financing limits candidates to spending $84.1 million
on their general campaign. The money is provided to them in the form of a
grant from the U.S. Treasury. Candidates can still solicit private
donations, but the money can only be used toward legal and accounting
expenses. The money cannot be used to fund advertising, events planning,
transportation, salaries or any of the other myriad campaign expenses.
Obama’s choice to turn down public financing and McCain’s choice to
accept it helped create a relatively large campaign fundraising
disparity. As of Oct. 15, the Obama-Biden campaign had received $522 million in contributions, according to Federal Election Commission reports. Compare that with the $375 million raised by the McCain-Palin campaign

Likely Obama has "...been outspent before." (i'm assuming this is the 'lie')...perhaps in other states, perhaps in other media or other expenditures. Obama compensated by transferring his own funds into the mix (see FEC report)...and he and the DNC outspent the RNC in other areas, yes. RNC spent $53.5 million on independent expeditures vs DNC's mere $1.1 million. I recall during the 2008 campaign that was 'why' he threw in his own monies...'because' he was being outspent initially...later overcoming that obstacle of being outspent The focus of this particular 'lie' seems to only concentrate on one medium (television spending specifically).
Democrats have had mastery of the television since before most of us were born when Kennedy pummeled Nixon in the publicized debate in circa 1960. Having seen the recent Republican debates amongst themselves almost epitomizes this seeming lack of composure in front of the camera by Republican candidates. Television has treated the ...

Democrats have had mastery of the television since before most of us were born when Kennedy pummeled Nixon in the publicized debate in circa 1960. Having seen the recent Republican debates amongst themselves almost epitomizes this seeming lack of composure in front of the camera by Republican candidates. Television has treated the Democrat well (when they spend there). With all of the recent "I'm a Mormon" dogma I've seen on television lately, it seems Romney's camp has this figured out now and how to make it work for them. Time will tell if they learned negative campaigning doesn't work.
The McCain campaign received up to 20% MORE than the Obama campaign did during the entire eleciton cycle.
During a typical reporting period the DNC raised approximately $205 million while the RNC raised $330+ million.. The Obama campaign contributions themselves made these differences come out just about even. Overall the RNC did indeed spend more than the DNC.
Romney may, and only may, be able to get an equal amount but so far, Obama has the lead in overall donations no matter what that Liar says - the people who keep up with the numbers show him, Obama, out in front.
And this does not even count the millions of Union dues dollars and other special interest group funds spent on his behalf.
Obama and McCain pledged to accept public financing. No sooner than Obama made the pledge, he announced his lie to the public by refusing the public finance option.
Why is this lie important? Because it speaks directly to his overall lack of character, integrity, and honor.
By opting out of receiving public financing, Obama escaped the public reporting of his donors.
I have no problem with any candidate opting out of receiving public financing. I do have a problem with the lie to told the American people. The was nothing preventing him from telling the truth about his intent. Except why do that when you can lie.
This was only one of the plethora of hints Obama through in front of the American electorate. It was another one of the opportunities to see if the electorate would catch onto his crap. A majority said, "It doesn't make a difference".
Does any of this make a difference now?
Obama Fundraising Expenditures $0
McCain Fundraising Expenditures $6,816,641
As I said if it is overall spending then yes he would be lying but if he is talking about fundraising then he is telling the truth.

It had nothing to do with fundraising expenses.
Yes I do research. And I read questions.
If he spent $0 on fundraising, how did he get any money to campaign.
Your answer is a long strech to defend the indefensible.
and you do not have to spend money on fundraising to have people donate to you. It is a legitimate site and that is the number they gave.
but, hey, whatever floats your boat.
still, if you claim that people who lie are evil and then you lie . . . .
Look at this one....course the media just lets it go....
Brazen: Obama advisor continues to spread Romney lies; impotent media snoozes
Sometimes campaign spokespersons have to know when to say when. If a journalist decides to pull off the rare ‘ask a liberal a tough question’ tactic, it’s best to just concede and move on to live another day. But that’s not what Obama’s team does - when they get caught spinning a lie, they double down. Glenn airs the stunning lie that the advisor stands by till the end...
