McCain Cuts Back Advertising In Some States to Focus on Key Battlegrounds

Facing limited funds and a problematic electoral battleground, the McCain campaign is dramatically reducing its ad spending in a number of states in order to focus on the big battleground states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. As Jim Rutenberg reports in The New York Times:

"The commercial chess pieces are apparently already on the move. Democratic officials monitoring advertising report that Mr. McCain is now making plans to start advertising in Miami and in Indiana. Mr. Obama has spent $6.4 million in Miami since the general election period unofficially began and Mr. McCain and the RNC have combined to spend just $114,752 there during the same period, according to CMAG."
