According to The Morning Call, John McCain is catching up to Barack Obama in campaign spending. While this doesn't come as too much of a surprise, the following quote from the article might surprise many and show that the spread in this election is much further is much more then any of the polls are indicating:
"A map of the states where McCain and the RNC are spending their money also illustrates the defensive nature of their 11th hour strategy. Except for Pennsylvania, the McCain-GOP focus was on trying to hold states that President Bush won in 2004."

Take another run at this, perhaps: I'm not entirely sure of the point you mean to make. And why should changes in advertising buys in some areas of some states (the article makes a narrower claim than you imply) be surprising or not? Help us out a bit, and walk through the argument a little more methodically.
That strategy of trying to save the "Bush Victory States" seems to be the downfall of the Mccain campaign. Instead of attacking what he could actively win, he chose what he could passively maintain.
