Here's an interesting question: Does the candidate care more about reforming the system if they spend more on advertising their health insurance plan? If you think the answer is yes, then that candidate is Illinois Senator Barack Obama.
Senator Barack Obama has spent $113 million on advertising his health care plan on television. This includes 192,000 commercials during 2008, reported Politico. Also, Obama has blown 68 percent of his advertising budget on health care alone. In October alone, his campaign will raise spending to 86 percent of that budget.
Those numbers, in a word, dwarf the spending by Senator John McCain's campaign. Senator McCain only could muster 11,300 commercials for health insurance reform this year - and he only spent $261,000 this month promoting his health reform plan on TV. In fact, Obama's total spending on health care is $29 million more than McCain's total bank roll for the entire campaign.
We are wondering if Obama's spending has results to back it up. A Kaiser Health Tracking Poll shows that 54 percent of voters agree with Obama on the topic of health insurance. Only 25 percent agree with McCain's. Obviously, Obama has more of an edge here.
Obviously, Obama is focused on health care reform, that does not mean he cares more than McCain. The reason is that Obama can spend whatever he wants on whatever he wants, he has the money. In September alone, he raised a staggering $150 million! Think about what that equals a day! McCain has only $84 million total to spend for the entire General Election. Obviously, this is why Obama can rule television with his health care commercials. - 15224
