Yeah, and unlike his commie counterpart whose campaign people are complaining about how Obama spends money like no business, Romney's not squandering his away. Imagine that, he knows how to manage his money. What a novelty!
Hmmm. I hope willard will cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. That’ll be a first for a gop candidate for prez. He’s a big enough of a Machiavellian and alinskyite to make it count.
If this is his strategy, he moves up a notch. Timing matters.
50 All true - but these ads won't be aimed at solid Obama or Romney voters (who will likely vote early), but at the undecideds. Undecideds generally don't vote early, but wait until the last minute (i.e. election day) in order to see if something tips them one way or the other.
60 You honestly believe after this latest troll to the media that the Romney campaign doesn’t know when early voting starts in various states? They know what they are doing.
... and what about Obama's own "October Suprize"? His people can clearly see MR's previous strategy just like so many here on FR have. Seems mighty risky to wait until the last moment to unlease your not-so-secret weapon if the battlefield has already shifted beneath your feet. Might be his only option though, given the highly partisan bent of the MSM. I suppose the bulk of these ads will be directed at the swing states - seriously doubt I will see any of this in AL. Hope Romney/Ryan knock it out of the park in the debates.
IF Romney has something of sufficient shock to influence the election, the media will refuse to air/print the ads on grounds of ‘hate speech’ or ‘incitement’ or some other garbage... They will stall and delay long enough to where enough votes have been cast that there is little impact to the news. they have no worry of the consequences of such actions... Their financials suck, so they are not worried about fines they may get, they’ll just get a bailout early under an Obama 2nd term.
We keep hearing about this “carpet bombing” business, but ain’t seen nothing.
I’ve seen no Romney ads on my TV, not one. But I do see that damned Bill Clinton ad for 0bama 8 to 10 times a night.
Now I’m suffering from severe acid reflux.
What I hope is the plan is that they will bombard the airwaves not just with one commercial but show ten or so with little or no interval between them. What this will do is make it so the media cannot make mountains of molehills distorting just one ad. They’re going to have to refute a whole bunch of different ads with the effect that they won’t have the time or the depth to criticize everything, making some of the charges more likely to stick.
It’s brilliant if he does it. I think it’s just as likely Romney just keeps the money and never does run the ad blitz.
I am looking forward to this. Romney is sitting on $170 in CASH-ON-HAND. I hope it works. I’m not certain of that the USA can survive a second Obama term.
Got to get moving, as early voting starts in less than a month in Iowa.
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?!?!
