Mitt Romney's October Surprise Is Going To Be Legendary (Ad carpet bombing)
Business Insider ^ | 09/18/2012 | Walter Hickey

The thing about the set of leaked videos from a Romney fundraiser that nobody is talking about is this part: The video was taken at a $50,000 per plate fundraiser in Florida. You may not have noticed, but despite the blur there are a lot of plates in front of a lot of people.

This is what people are still not grasping about Romney: He's about to open up the money floodgates in a way that Obama can't match.

Romney was wildly successful during the primaries — not as a result of his charm and personality — but because he had a massive pile of money.

He still has a massive pile of money in his campaign coffers, and by all margins he's continuing to raise large amounts of money, as we've found through a look into the Center for Responsive Politics' database.

It better be earth shattering or the media will conviently igonore it.

They won't be able to if it is the topic of advertising carpet bombing.

I sincerely hope & pray that you are right. So far (with an occasional exception) Mitt Romney has been weak & vulnerable & uninspiring. I recall in mid-Sept 2008, when lo & behold, McCain/Palin were leading 0dumb0/Bite-me by 5-7% and 0dumb0 declared he was taking the gloves off, and he did, and never looked back. McCain hunkered down into some sort of bunker mentality, gave up fighting 0dumb0 and instead allowed his campaign staff to undermine & attack Sarah Palin, the only true asset to his entire campaign.

So I can only hope & pray that you are right, and that Mitt will grow a stellar pair of iron balls, and go on a massive, advertising carpet bombing, blitzkrieg attack against 0dumb0 & his surrogates, the left-wing partisan media. Take no prisoners and issue no further apologies or nuances.

The article states that the Romney campaign has just $30.2m on hand as of August 21 (not counting the PAC and RNC money). That does not make sense considering that Romney has raised over $100m a month for the past few months. Where has the rest of that money gone?

WHen are the Super Pacs gonna unleash on Hussein?!?!

An ad featuring the DNC booing God, alone, would be devastating...Do they realize that the majority of the country has not even seen the video, b/c of the MSM refusing to cover it?!?!

I have been hearing rumors that the Romney camp has something big on 0bama

That assumes the MSM will run with whatever comes up. It better be earth shattering or the media will conviently igonore it.

Anything 'big' will be covered by the MSM even if they don't want to. Fox will be all over it (as will foreign news sources, particularly the BBC). Someone in NBC/CBS/ABC/CNN wants to make money and no one wants to be the only one without something to say. As much as they love Obama, any truly remarkable revelation will be covered.

Of course, they'll try to spin it...

Romney's ad campaign is going to be bumped off the airwaves by wall to wall coverage of Barack Hussein's October surprise attack on Iran.
