Santorum Spent $1M on Web Ads, but Super PACs Attacked

Rick Santorum's campaign spent no money on online ads before last week's Wisconsin GOP primary, which turned out to be his last chance to prove himself as a viable contender. In fact, while the campaign spent around $1 million on ads all together online, it may have been better characterized by the Super PAC ads attacking him there.

Super PACs like pro-Mitt Romney group Restore Our Future dropped nearly that same amount online in key primary states as Santorum surged in the polls. In fact, the pro-Romney group spent around $800,000 on web ads in to attack the former Pennsylvania senator in Alabama, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
