Observation - campaigns slash ad spending

Looking at the Kos recap of state TV ad spending, Both campaigns have cut spending by about a third over the last week, but the McCain numbers out of Pa surprised me.

Three weeks ago - $1.780 million
Two weeks ago - $1.811 million

Last week - $1.129 million

That about matches the overall scale back, but let's remember that Pennsylvania was supposed to be his path to victory.

(Ohio's down substantially, too, from $966K to $594K. The only two increases were Va and Indiana.)

(Obama's overall spending is down by about the same third as McCain's, but he's still running heavy in Fla, Indiana, Mo, NC, Oh, Pa, and Va. Check it out.)

Later: The NYTimes says McCain "who has redirected dwindling resources to vital parts of critical states like this one."
