Romney backers buy $1 million in radio ads

Romney backers buy 1 million in radio ads
1 hour ago • Associated Press
The super PAC backing Mitt Romney on Friday announced a $1 million radio ad blitz in nine states attacking President Barack Obama for negativity, signaling the fierce campaign spending is heading in force to drive-time in must-win states.
While both Romney and Obama _ and their allies _ have been shelling out millions on television ads, neither has been aggressive on radio, a relatively cheap and ubiquitous medium that is trickier to track and easier to target. That relative quiet on the dials was set to end with a 60-second ad in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
"You spent a trillion taxpayer dollars on the stimulus. It failed," a female narrator says of Obama in the ads. "The jobless rate went up and has been stuck above 8 percent for 41 straight months. You increased spending so wildly that you've added more debt than the first 41 presidents _ combined."
The ad says Obama has turned the campaign negative against Romney because he cannot run on his time in the White House.
