oOo 11 months agoIt would be helpful if the charts themselves said “in May” in the titles because the main title of this post makes you think the charts depict the whole race, not just May. May is in the subtitle but is easy to skim over and miss and think you’re talking about the campaign as a whole, and then you start wondering how Romney could raise more, spend less, but still wind up with so much less on hand and have the math be so off besides. Another way to help distinguish May from the campaign would be to include one more chart that showed money raised and spent for each guy for the whole campaign to date. Also since the first chart intro says Romney is spending less and the second one says he’s spending more, that’s initially confusing until you realize the second one isn’t a comparison against Obama but rather his own prior month. If you change the second chart intro line to say, “Romney’s spending is increasing” or something, it would be less confusing after the first one.
