President Barack Obama, Republican challenger Mitt Romney and their allies have expanded their television advertising battle into states that have traditionally voted Democratic in White House elections, as some surveys show tightening races in those areas.
Both campaigns have aired ads in Minnesota and are planning spots in Pennsylvania, joining outside groups already on the air in those states. Obama also will air ads in Michigan to counter Republican groups there.
