As the Obama campaign continues to expand its purchases on national network and cable TV—including time on NFL football and MLB baseball broadcasts—it has bought more 60-second spots on local stations and local cable. The Democrat has started buying 120-second ads as well. That’s in addition to the 30-minute infomercials he has purchased on CBS, NBC and Fox to air Oct. 29.

The GOP has a better fundraising machine but it's a bit laggy this year.  Frankly, the Obama money machine has always been ground-breaking, probably due to the excitement his campaign raises within a segment (10-30%) of the population.

Money tends to flow towards the expected winner.  Buying influence for a future next president > buying influence with a future continued senator.

I'm not sure when the last time was that the Democrat had less money than the Republican in a presidential race, anyone care to clue me in?  Fact is, Democrats are usually at a cash disadvantage and there's not a competitive seat in the country (that I'm aware of) that the Democrats don't have a cash advantage at right now.  Maybe NH?  If you count likely GOP seats like KY and GA, then yeah.
