Ad war in GOP governor's primary approaches $13 million (FL)

[ccharles000]

The latest round of television advertisements from Rick Scott pushes the total spent in GOP governor's race media war to about $12.7 million.

By far, the Naples businessman's spending on TV and radio ads far outpaces his competitor, Attorney General Bill McCollum. His sixth major buy (running Friday through June 6 and totaling $2.9 million) puts his total spent to date at $10.9 million.

The new attack group against Scott, Alliance for America's Future, is spending another $906,000 to air its TV ad from Thursday to Wednesday.

And McCollum's campaign put $804,000 into the game after debuting with a Jeb Bush endorsement spot.
