I’d also like to see Romney hit back harder, but he is hitting back. I’m actually pleasantly surprised at some of the campaign commercials I’ve seen lately. In comparison, some of Obama’s have been downright creepy.
But as has been mentioned above, most people aren’t really paying attention yet and he’d be wise to hold off until closer to the election when more are engaged and the money will be more wisely spent.
It’s still summer. People are still vacationing, spending time with their kids and enjoying the weather. Once fall comes around, the weather starts to turn, and more people are inside watching TV (plus football season will be in full swing - when a lot of people are watching), hopefully we’ll see the Romney campaign in high gear.
Those that think Mitt isn’t a fighter to me weren’t paying attention during the Primaries.. He was down right nasty during the primaries and I have no doubt he’ll fight as down and dirty as needed.
However as others have correctly pointed out, much of Mitt’s money cannot be spent until AFTER he is nominated, and right now its the tail end of summer vacation and the olympics are on. Huge media buys right now aren’t pretty much torching money.
