Battleground ad buys: Clinton spends in 8 states

[HillOfANight]

Why not Pennsylvania?

She must be looking good there. She probably leads there by more than what the public polling is saying

NH looks way better for her, though, and she's still wasting spending money there.

Hurting Ayotte so she has a stronger Senate.

In omitting Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin from the buy while including North Carolina, a state Obama won in 2008 but not 2012, the Clinton campaign joins Priorities — which this month added North Carolina to its buy — in implying that it doesn’t believe the Trump argument that he can win over sufficient numbers of Rust Belt, working class white males to reset the map.

The last I read, GOP has 50 staff trying to defend North Carolina, money that's preventing them from going offense elsewhere like Pennsylvania.

Team Clinton has a 100% ad-spending edge in battlegrounds.

In June 2012, it was 54%-46% for Obama

Compared to 2012, they're not investing in Wisconsin or Pennsylvania yet. Also, looks like big GOP $ doesn't care about Trump.
