In response to "at some point, you would think that mccain would figure out that even though obama has spent more " by TrUmAn

I'd like to see a proportional distribution rather than absolute spending.

Sure, the Obama campaign might be spending more on negative ads than any other presidential campaign in history, but they're also raising a helluva lot more money than any presidential campaign in history. So is the spending on negative ads 90% of their total ad budget? 75%? 50% Or something less, like 30%?
