And spends just as much. Rumor is that fundraising isn’t going very well. We don’t know for sure, but he’s got a LOT on his plate having to defend things that Kerry never had to. PLUS, he has to take time out to raise money. McCain doesn’t, because he’s on candidate welfare. :)

No one has heard from plugs Biden since his last gaffe and the last crowd, he had around few hundred people show up.
Obama’s meeting today had 250 people show up and if you see the crowd, its lackluster.

Obama has staff everywhere - the “57 state strategy”. He has huuuuge overhead. He can’t simple cut back on ads, he needs a constant influx of cash to keep the beast going.
