Marc Ambinder has numbers from Florida:
Mitt Romney's had an 8 to 1 television ad advantage in Florida... part of the reason why he's made the competitive. Heck, most of the reason he's made the race competitive has been his ads.
According to Neilsen, he's run 4,475 ads compared to John McCain's 470 through 1/22.
McCain did not run a single ad until January; Romney ran more ads in September than McCain has run to date.
This is the true power of self-funding.
One of the elephants in the room this entire campaign season has been Mitt Romney's personal fortune. Are we really going to let someone buy the nomination?
