Republican National Committee halting ads in Wisconsin, Maine; focusing on red states

WASHINGTON — The Republican National Committee is halting presidential ads in Wisconsin and Maine, turning its attention primarily to usually Republican states where GOP nominee John McCain shows signs of faltering.

The party's independent ad operation is doubling its budget to about $10 million and focusing on crucial states such as Colorado, Missouri, Indiana and Virginia where Democrat Barack Obama has established a foothold, according a Republican strategist familiar with presidential ad placements.
Florida and North Carolina have also been in the RNC ad mix, but Pennsylvania is the only Democratic leaning swing state apparently left in the party's ad campaign.

It seems like the RNC finds the election polls to be fairly accurate based on the way they've abandoned WI and MI in the past week or two. Hopefully they keep pumping money into PA since that state turning red is about as likely as Wisconsin at this point.
Meanwhile (as mentioned either a few pages back in here or in a separate thread) the Obama campaign has so much money to burn that they've begun to advertise in video games.

I'm getting pretty tired of all these right-wing talking heads in the mainstream media.
