from usa today: Kerry's spending on his five negative ads can't be traced as thoroughly because three have aired almost solely on cable channels, where spending isn't tracked. Also, anti-Bush organizations such as The Media Fund and MoveOn.org Voter Fund have been running the most aggressive ads of the campaign so far, giving Kerry less of a need to go on the offensive. The Missouri researchers estimate 84% of the statements in those groups' ads have been attacks aimed at Bush. Those organizations have spent at least $30 million so far this year on TV ads. Together with Kerry's negative ads, then, more than $40 million has certainly been spent on anti-Bush ads so far. 9/11 gives it fair negative share too
