How much is to much?

With Obama spending 3 to 1 what McCain is spending on ads and phone calls how much is to much. If you live in a battleground state more than likely you cant watch any channel on TV without seeing a Obama or McCain ad every commercial break. Spending has really gotten out of control with Obama even going as far as buying as space on video games. Ad after Ad after Ad. The majority of people are tired of seeing them. Now with less than 2 weeks to go its only going to get worse. There are street walkers out knocking on doors and handing out fliers. I know over the weekend there were a group of at least 30 people that gathered outside my apt complex all wearing Obama shirts with boxes and boxes of fliers all ready to come knocking on your door. I hung a sign on my door says do not know if you are with Obama. I guess they can read. But how much is to much. The average American doesn't like commercials anyway, but they really are sick of the attack ads. We want to hear what they are going to do not what their opponent is going to do. To date it is estimated that Obama has spent almost $300,000.00 this month alone on attack ads, alot of money that could have done better work in other ways. McCain doesn't spend anywhere near what Obama does but the ads are just as bad. Both side of the political spectrum are going overboard. One report I read stated that some people are thinking about voting for a 3rd party rather than buy into the the ads from the top 2 contenders.

McCain has just started a new campaign called keep you money in Fl. Himself along with Gov Crist (R) of Florida will travel all around the state. They start in Ormond Beach and stop in Sarasota, with several stops in between.
