Despite the talk that Iowa is becoming less of a battle-ground state, McCain made a stop in Davenport on Saturday, October 11. The appearance came after an announcement that the campaign will add 16 more offices to the state.
Both candidates have spent less money on T.V. ads in Iowa than Wisconsin, another contested state. McCain spent 227,000 dollars in Iowa from September 28 - October 4, compared to 896,000 dollars in Wisconsin. Obama spent 172,000 dollars in Iowa and 1.2 million dollars in Wisconsin.
Obama has kept a lead in Iowa for nearly the entire year, however McCain has spent significantly more money on T.V. ads than Obama.
The election is 22 days out and Obama leads the polls in Iowa by 12 points - McCain clearly has not given up on this Midwestern state.
