Obama, who has been able to accumulate cash as Romney fended off primary challengers, spent three times more in May than he did in April, reflecting new investments in staff — a total of 703 campaign workers in May, up from 631 a month earlier — and the barrage of television commercials in battleground states that have touted his record and slammed presumptive GOP nominee Romney's business career.Nearly half of the contributions to Obama's main campaign account last month came from donors who gave $200 or less, contributors he will need to tap again as he tries to match Romney's fundraising, which surged ahead of Obama's last month for the first time.
