$$$$

It takes a lot of money to run a campaign. Look at how much the candidates are spending. Post amounts and comment. Look not only at Obama and McCain, but Frankin and Coleman in Minnesota.

I couldn't really find amounts of how much each is spending. But it did show a democratic who once ran and said 85 million is plenty for campaigning. It also said Obama raised millions in January and Mccain raised 13.5 million in one fundraiser.

I think they are spending over millions of dollars for advertising specially when they buy hours ads on the tv.

All websites say different things! I'm so confused. All I know is that, McCain spends outrageous amounts on Palin's wardrobe just so she looks cute, not that that’s going to affect anyone in anyway, and then a lot on his unbelievably bothersome campaign ads, and people are angry because he is spending money like crazy! And breaking spending limits which is bad, good job Mr. McCain as we all know our economy is crap and then there is McCain just spending money like he can…But they never give me an exact number and it's making me very mad...And then when it comes to Obama I know he spends insane amounts on TV ads, and all that 30 minute air time, and the Xbox thing! So he spends a lot also! I think these silly candidate need to stop spending sooo much money and start just writing checks to us, hey if they have me a good $50 bucks I would sooo vote for them, more than half this country would take that kind of transaction, and them maybe economy would go up a little cause of course we would spend it! :D As for our very own Norm Coleman, well this info was very easy to find, and they gave me a bunch of number on how much he spent on TV ads, and of course we have all seen them as they interrupt our programming, and they are very infuriating! But he spend 408,000 a quarter which means nothing to me, other than that seems like a lot of money. But they say that Al Franken has outspent Norm! So Al is spending a lot more money than Norm trying to get our vote! So other than that I couldn't find exact numbers! Dumb internet...

I really couldn't find all the money amounts, but I know they both spend a lot of money. I hate how they freak out about Obama when McCain is spending just as much...McCain in spending it on other campaign things. Al and Norm are spending tons too! Obviosly the pres candidates are going to spend money when they are running for the president of the united states!

Millions that is all I have to say, and Obama spent 1 million on a 30 min ad campaign for three different news stations or more, and that is kinda sad plus some stuff with advertising on Xbox and such a majority of people who play those things cant even vote yet.

But I have been seeing more ads for Franken than for Colman.
