WASHINGTON President Barack Obamas campaign has spent nearly $100 million on television commercials in selected battleground states so far, unleashing a sustained early barrage designed to create lasting, negative impressions of Republican Mitt Romney before he and his allies ramp up for the fall.
In a reflection of campaign strategy, more than one-fifth of the presidents ad spending has been in Ohio, a state that looms as a must-win for Romney more so than for Obama. Florida ranks second and Virginia third, according to organizations that track media spending and other sources.

let’s not relax until Obama is out. NO complacence. Let’s not assume he will lose. Our target is not to just have Obama lose, but to have Obama obliterated. I say put the target as Obama getting 0 electoral votes. No resting, conservatives, no rest until 0 gets 0
