More money is being spent on advertising attack ads against other candidates than support ads by political action committees, with more money spent targeting Newt Gingrich’s campaign more than any other.
I don’t think this surprises anyone, but it is quite interesting to see the breakdown and how negative these Super PAC ads have been overall. The pro-Romney Restore Our Future really, really, doesn’t like Newt Gingrich. Ron Paul and Rick Santorum have escaped major Super PAC attack at the time this chart was made, but I think Santorum will have a lot more negative spending show up against him after advertising for upcoming contests and Super Tuesday is factored in.
