Obama brings in the big bucks

Barack Obama must have deep pockets. In an effort to defeat Senator Hillary Clinton in Ohio and Texas, the senator has been buying large amounts of advertising and building get-out-the-vote operations.

According to an article in The New York Times:

"The intensity of Mr. Obama’s drive is especially apparent on television, where he has outspent Mrs. Clinton by nearly two to one in the two states. That is helping him eat deeply into double-digit leads she held in polls just weeks ago."

I've been taught in countless government classes that the contender who spends the most is often the one who wins the election. Will this trend follow suit in Obama's race against Clinton? From where blog it looks possible. Let me know what you think.
