"President Bush spent twice as much as Democrats in just four weeks on the air, pouring about $40 million into television and radio commercials that championed his record and assailed John Kerry's.
Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, spent about $6 million on ads during the same period. But his campaign has been helped by liberal, outside groups that have spent another $14 million on commercials, allowing the Democrats to pull even or ahead of Bush in some media markets in competitive states.
Still, with $110 million in the bank, Bush has been burying Democrats since March 4, when he first went on the air with heavy levels of television advertising in 18 states, on national cable networks and on radio stations nationwide."
