CMAG data show a wide distribution of advertising budgets, especially among Republican candidates, some of whom had decided to concentrate on just one of the early voting states. The spending, however, was practically uncorrelated with the voting results. The correlation between the candidates' total ad spending in the two states and the number of votes cast for them is just 0.31, not enough for any kind of causality. Even after removing the outliers, Bush and Carly Fiorina, the correlation rises to only 0.43 -- still too low to indicate a connection. bloombergview.com
