Romney’s SuperPAC To Spend $12 Million in Nine Swing States
In what is probably the biggest ad buy of the campaign as yet, Mitt Romney’s superPAC, Restore Our Future, ispumping
$12 million into television ads in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Nevada, Virginia, Wisconsin, and
even Michigan. Only New Hampshire is missing from the list and Michigan is a reach at best. Nevertheless, with the polls
tightening, the group is making a final effort to push Romney over the finish line.
However, there is one downside to this expenditure for Republicans. Had Obama not done so poorly in the first debate,he would have probably maintained his large lead and outside groups might have abandoned Romney as hopeless and put all theirmoney into Senate races in order to flip it to the GOP. That is not happening, thus increasing the odds that the Democratshang onto the Senate.
