Answer:

2. paying for media ads

Explanation:

Media advertising is by far the most expensive item in a campaign's budget. The cost of paying for media ads in America is very expensive whereas in other countries such as Britain, France, Mexico and Spain, candidates pay for media markets with less money. And there are restrictions in some countries on how many ads can air which is not the case in America.

In 2011 and 2012 more than 60,751 ads was aired in the Las Vegas media market just for the presidential elections. This totaled about two million seconds of television time which is approximately 23 days. Sin City featured an additional 55,000 ads for other elections such as City Council and Justice of the Peace to the U.S. House and Senate. To watch every political ad aired on local broadcast stations in Las Vegas within 2011 and 2012 would have required 43 days of television viewing
