DescriptionRepublican gubernatorial candidate Mike Fisher slashed his television advertising in Philadelphia yesterday, a probable signal that his fund-raising is falling off and that he intends to save his money for commercials in areas of the state where he has a better chance of cutting into Democrat Ed Rendell's lead in the polls.

He narrowed the gap for a time last month, but a recent barrage of negative ads directed at Rendell appeared to strengthen the former Philadelphia mayor.
