Obama meaner than McCain in FL

Nielsen Monitor-Plus reports that Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain have run about the same number of negative ads on local television networks nationwide.

But in Florida, where Obama and outside groups are heavily outspending McCain, it's not a fair fight. More than 4,000 anti-McCain ads ran over the summer in Florida, making the state the sixth most negative climate in the country. Florida did not rank in the top 10 for states airing anti-Obama ads.

The top-running anti-McCain ad is below. More here.
