c. Analyze the spending trends between the two parties, noting that while both predictably ramp up spending before Election Day, there is a clear partisan different in the source of the funding for the ads.
d.Identify that although candidates rely heavily on advertising,the bulk of that advertising is aimed specifically at a small number of competitive swing states, using the spending patterns of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in 2012 as a relevant example.
