Obama and DNC Spent $7 Million on Web Ads

Online ad spending by Obama for America and the Democratic National Committee reached more than $7 million in 2011. From March through December, OFA alone bought more than $5 million worth of online ads, according to Federal Election Commission reports analyzed by ClickZ Politics.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama's reelection camp only recently began running television spots, reportedly making a relatively small national buy aimed at building his supporter list, and later pushing an economy and energy policy themed message to battleground states.
