Airtime is sold solid elsewhere, so they have to funnel that money through the right hands before the donors come knocking later this week to try to get it back.

I like the idea that Republican PACs are blowing all that dough. Maybe the money guys will give less or decide that Citizens United wasn't such a bright idea after all.

But, they were the first I've seen. Whereas I have been seeing regular Obama ads for about a week.

Obama's ads are hitting Mitt on "Let Detroit go bankrupt" and includes a video clip where he agrees with that.

Romney ads show so-called former Obama supporters who are supporting Romney because Obama's spending is so high, or some such thing.

I don't know what my take is on why these ads are hitting now.

Or, just to show off for his KKK buddies.
