With only 12 days to go, John McCain is moving his ad money around, in another sign he's giving up on some states and holding out hope for others.
TPM talked to political ad expert Evan Tracey, who's been tracking the commercial buys of both candidates:
McCain has dramatically slashed his ad spending in Wisconsin and New Hampshire and reduced it in Pennsylvania, suggesting that he's either losing hope or giving up hope in winning in three states that went for John Kerry in 2004, or that he doesn't have ample enough resources for them.
He's also reduced his spending in Colorado, which went for Bush but is showing a lead for Obama, suggesting he may be losing hope there, too.
On the other side of the coin, McCain is ramping up spending in Virginia and Florida, hoping to keep those states red (Both have been tilting Obama lately).
