The seven remaining presidential candidates and their affiliated super PACs have dumped more than $23 million on airtime in states voting on Super Tuesday, according to our ad buyer sources. The bulk of that money came from the Democratic side; both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders shelled out more than $6 million to buy TV and radio spots.
