bb,

You obviously have never worked in a political campaign... Of course they require offices... John McCain has hundred of offices across the country... Obama has at least twice that many... There is rent, and electricity and phones and copying, etc... That's what happens in campaign offices, be them McCain's or Obama's...

Obama has chosen to spend more money on offices and less on advertising porportionate to McCain... McCain is going the other route with more porportionately to what he has to spend on advertising at the espense of offices... Just different choices and strategies...

But it is a misleading statement to say that Obama is spending more than McCain becuase to most casual readers one would think advertising and not take into account other expenses, such as offices and even staff...
