Conservatives (PACs) pull ads from Michigan

Last edited Thu Sep 6, 2012, 06:01 PM - Edit history (4)

I posted this earlier today before the whole rhubarb started about Romney campaign funds versus PAC funds, vis-a-vis PA, WI and MI.

It appears from this report (one of two that the TPM article sourced) that the whole RW circus has moved on down the road.

This does not mean that they cannot go back in or that smaller groups won't drop a few bucks there, but of the big "independent" PACs that illegally collude on national strategy with the Romney campaign it appears that they are turning their fire on other states.

Mitt Romney's conservative allies are bypassing Michigan with their advertising while stepping up efforts in other battleground states — suggesting campaign strategists don't believe his road to the White House leads through his native state.

The pro-Romney groups American Crossroads and Americans for Prosperity are pouring nearly $13 million into advertising in key states, indicating they remain eager to lend considerable financial muscle to Romney in states viewed as truly competitive.

There are no presidential campaign ads of any kind airing in Pennsylvania and Michigan, according to information provided by media trackers to the Associated Press.

Or are they using a cloaking device to prepare a stealth attack?

They could saturate every single state.

But then maybe their fund-raising IS the big Ponzi scheme I keep saying it is.
