Rick Scott Spends $4.7 Million in One Week
TampaBay.com reports on the significant amount of money that Rick Scott spends during a single week of campaigning:
We wouldn't have thought there was even that much TV time available to buy, but now we hear Rick Scott yesterday added another $1.3 million to his August 18-24 broadcast and cable TV buy. That brings the total to - get this - $4,740,510. Looks like Bill McCollum and allied political groups bought about $3.1 million in TV time, though a good chunk of it covered last week.
All told, Scott and his Let's Get to Work committee have spent $38,960,313, while McCollum and assorted pro-McCollum political groups have spent $13,671,277.
Alex Sink spent about $854,000 for her first TV ad, while the Republican Governors Association has spent about $738,000 on ads attacking Sink.
