Don't want to be a soggy mop here BUT Romney and Super-pacs pulling out of serveral states

Doesn't that make anyone wonder what the HELL is going on?

I mean today we see ads --bascially money being pulled from PA, OH, MI, and WI. The election is basically 6 weeks--2 months away today and Romney and the GOP super-Pacs supposely raise all this money.

It does make one who likes to think wonder. Does this have anything to do with the cyber ransom? IS this Ransom the reason why Romney is "Taking a Vacation" from the Campaign. Remember Monday how the press pull was excused than called back to cover Romney driving a boat?

Believe it or not I do want to see Obama win but this makes this person who likes to think wondering what is going on.

SORRY FOR MIS-TYPING
