I’m glad to see Romney embark on an ad blitz; but do “undecided” voters have a 30-minute attention span?

With facts and figures . . . he might change a few minds and get their votes for an even bigger win. Some folks need it spelled out for them in black and white and not in 30 second spots. Maybe. Like I said, he has the money, why not?

You ask a great question ~ about undecided's attention span ~ and the answer, as always is nobody cares what the undecided, politically illiterate, likely non-voters are thinking ~ best they be kept away from the polls in November anyway.

Now about why Romney and the Mittbots have changed their tack from chasing after undecided and irresolute nonvoters ~ to converting Republicans to the idea that he's a capable candidate worthy of their votes ~

What this means is simple ~ he's finally bought into the approach LBJ, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and possibly FDR and Richard Nixon used to get elected ~ that is to increase the turnout of your own voting base ~ to wit, Republicans.

That's where it's won in single member districts ~ whether that's state by state, or district by district, you probably have people there who will vote for you and think of you as being in their party, and vice versa. They won't vote if you don't ask them to, and as George HW Bush demonstrated, if you lie to them there are some ~ about 10 million "some" who won't vote for you.

The votes are there if Romney wants them. The votes are there for Obama as well, but they're all Democrats, and there are MILLIONS of them tired of him.

This half hour infomercial is for Republicans, not Democrats. It is designed to increase the Republican turnout. No need stirring up the Democrats who might be motivated to show up and do something unexpected.

I just hope they get the snow ploughed in this area in time for election day so they can open the polls and officially count the votes. This nor'easter could be a game changer.
