From STLtoday:
State Sen. Chris Koster, a Democrat who barely won his party’s nomination for attorney general, spent more on TV ads in the state during the final week than any other candidate on Tuesday’s primary ballot.
In fact, Koster is the top spender on TV campaign ads during the last month — outpacing even the two presumptive nominees for president, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama.
Koster spent at least $1.21 million over the last month to run 2,722 ad spots, most of them on TV stations in the state’s three largest cities, according to TNSMI-Campaign Media Analysis Group, a nonpartisan firm monitoring campaign ad spending for the Post-Dispatch.
