As a stark reminder of the dominance Republicans have achieved in election spending since the Supreme Court’s election-buying decision in Citizens United, two anti-Obama groups spent a combined total of about $10 million per week to buy the White House for Mitt Romney during the later part of last month. The Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity and Romney super PAC Restore Our Future spent about $23.4 million during the second half of August — outspending pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action nearly 10 to 1.

This flood of Republican spending matches the post-Citizens United trend of increased Republican dominance of the airwaves:
