    Democrats and Obama's campaign outspent Republicans 2 to 1.

    Author Date published February 23, 2012 Categories

    In 2011 online ad spending, the Democrats and Obama’s reelection campaign outspent Republicans 2 to 1. And, despite being embroiled in a tough primary battle for the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney’s campaign spent just half the amount incumbent President Barack Obama did on online ads last year.
