Follow the money

Posted at 8:10 AM on October 24, 2008 by Julia Schrenkler

Let's take a look at money headlines this morning:

It appears Obama's fundraising drops as McCain's cash dwindles, but you can still spot smiles on the campaign trail. Kick off a fresh discussion on mnpolitics.gather.com if you want to focus on the money.

You might be more interested in the cash flow for Minnesota campaigns. Check our television ad spending data to see who is behind the candidates... and who is behind that campaign commercial you're watching. Did you blog about it? Contact me, I'd like to get your feedback.

A money headline triangle isn't complete without Wall Street. Stocks head for sharp decline on recession fears. Are you an investor? What are you thinking? Tell Minnesota Public Radio and become a source for news coverage.
