Superb full coverage of the spending HERE from the BBC, the amounts raised and spent are truly staggering and by now are over one BILLION US dollars. What is clear if you scroll down that page is that the secret of Obama's success (and probably what will put him in the Whitehouse) is the level of support from 'the people'...almost half of the USD0.66 billion that the Democrat party nominee has raised is from donations under $200, in fact the only bad thing happening - the only bad sign - is the level of support from the law industry (triple the amount lawyers or law firms have donated to McCain) they obviously feel their pay day is coming..."This is more than message imbalance"..."This is, in media terms, a rout. John McCain is in a shouting match against a guy with a megaphone."

Watched the infomercial - compelling stuff to be honest. I think he's the right sort of person for the 21st Century, whether or not he's the right person is another matter. Interested to note that Fox News were asked not to show it, are Amercians so dumb they can't tell news from adverts?
Hi Paul..apparently 35 million watched in the US. Interesting what you say about Fox...I imagine they were asked that because they are being so UNBIASED...yes, you read that right. NBC and MSNBC are embarrassingly and overtly so pro Obama as to be 'not a free and fair press'. They have been shown to have 70-75% stories about McCain as negative as against 15% negative re Obama; Fox was 40%/40% negative Obama and McCain, which is what you'd expect (almost equal)...there is a tidal wave for Obama in the press and 'celebs'.
