So Far, Romney is “fighting” like Little Lord Fauntleroy, or Richie Rich.
He had better take off the gloves and hit back hard, or he is going to LOSE.
Travis, we’re not seeing the real fight. Carville and the drive-bys are what we see - and that will always be Obama-slanted.
The media fight on the ground is different. You can get a better picture of it here:

Heh. We both thought of lil’ Lord Fauntleroy when thinking of Willard. Not good for the Massachusetts Moderate (which I suppose is a Flyover Flamer).
Not pickin on you, Travis, just using your post to make some points that I think most are missing.
If you look at the link I posted above, you can see the total spending by Romney and Obama and their PACs. You can see that these aren’t national buys, but targeted states. So most of us are not seeing the media battler (other than talking heads on Sunday.)
We’re also not seeing the ads that are being run. A great many are by Crossroads and Restore Our Future - which are returning fire on Obama, big time.
I don’t think many have seen this Romney ad either, which, IMHO, is quite effective, the video is from Obama at his nominating convention:
