In senate races, the most expensive ad-wise so far has been Virginia. The Democrats remains 1.511/2 favourites to hold the Senate, and we can’t see anything else happening.
Donald Trump has been hitting the headlines with his outbursts against Barack Obama but who does he think he's helping? Meanwhile, both candidates have been pouring even more money in to advertising as the race gets closer. Elliot Pollak reports...
Just when Barack Obama thought it was safe to come out without a birth certificate in his pocket, Donald Trump has slivered into being again. Yes, Trump's much-hyped announcement over the past couple of days was a promise to give £5m to charity, but only if the President would produce his school records. (Just give it anyway!)
Who Trump thinks he is helping is unclear. Just like the nonsense over the birth certificate, this whole unpleasant business makes the Republicans look a) desperate and b) nasty. One suspects Trump doesn't take orders from GOP HQ, but if they do have any control over him, they'd be advised to lock him in a box for the next fortnight.
Obama hit back on Jay Leno last night, joking that the grudge between himself and Trump stems back from their days playing soccer together on the fields of Kenya. On a more serious note (perhaps), the President also promised an enormous bar of chocolate to any Trick-or-Treaters who visit the White House from Ohio.
The fact that even Halloween looks like becoming politicised is a sign of how close this race now is. Another sign that this will be a more closely fought contest than in 2008, is the result of a new survey reporting that there have been well over double the number of televised ads this time around. Both sides are clearly determined to seize every wavering voter going. Indeed, the Republicans have spent ten times more on television then they did four years ago.
