That amounts to an average of 763 ads a day

As the presidential horse race has tightened in Wisconsin, the ad war has escalated.

In the first three weeks of October, the campaigns of President BarackObama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and their supporters unleashed 16,034 ads in the state's five major markets — Green Bay, La Crosse, Madison, Milwaukee and Wausau — according to data released by the Wesleyan Media Project.

That amounts to an average of 763 ads a day, which works out to roughly 32 ads an hour. The October total is a 37.5 percent increase over the preceding three-week period during which the campaigns aired 11,655 ads.

The wind picked up in the second half

Until his second goal, the Americans struggled, particularly with the wind in their face on the wet cricket pitch at Sir VivianRichards Stadium. The field was exceptionally tight, too, hindering the Americans' attack.

The wind picked up in the second half, and the footing remained tricky. Herculez Gomez crashed into goalkeeper Molvin James in the 49th and James needed several moments before he returned to his feet, holding his chest and left shoulder.

Taking advantage of that wind, the Antiguans several times barely missed shots wide. But the best scoring opportunities in the late going were by Sacha Kljestan in the 81st and Michael Bradley in the 86th before Johnson pounced.
