Mitt Romney has resorted to buying his own ad time on television as a response to the "media saturation" of DNC coverage. His latest television ad seems to target some key states including Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio. However, he's not targeting Michigan, Pennsylvania or Wisconsin. Why isn't he showing interest in at least three states?
It's easy to speculate that Mittens is conceding these states to President Obama in what one person calls "a loser's strategy." So could this mean that the Romney/Ryan campaign is struggling to stay ahead of all the hype for the current president? Even though a spokesperson for their team says that he isn't giving up on Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, it just looks like he's making a pretty desperate move to garner votes in more "powerful" states.
Mitt Romney may not be conceding these three states, but if he doesn't pay enough attention to the voters that represent them, he might find himself on the losing end of this upcoming election. Maybe he needs to spend some more of his own money on it. Wouldn't that be something--to go broke advertising for his own presidential hopes.

good for me,
and good for you,
as there's really nothing new,
but the Justice is due,
our words are only dew,
be they many or just few,
we all want the truth, not lies,
all the lies be snatched by mice,
as the truth is only nice!
and the liars will go to hell,
that's the place where they should dwell.

Does that mean that we can officially designate Lyin' Ryan as the 2012 version of Sarah Palin: the Hail Mary flash in the pan that missed?
It is somewhat surprising--with the apparent prodigious amounts of money he has in his campaign coffers--that he would not dig in, in some the states where things look like they may be a lost cause.
However, it is not unprecedented for a campaign to prevail--when it concedes votes in an area where it might ordinarily campaign.
I'd be hard pressed to believe that Romney isn't receiving first-hand advice from strategists in these states--about his ultimate chances, there.
Why waste the time, effort, and money--if you can still win the Electoral Map, in other places?
I do not support Romney/Ryan; I am simply trying to look at it, strategically, from that campaign's point of view.
It would be "Lovely", indeed, if, in the run-up to the first week in November, the numbers showed Obama in a decisive lead, in Michigan.
For obvious reasons, this would be a grave embarrassment to Romney.
What's more, aside from this being his father's home state--where Mitt was partially raised--Democrats could exploit the following, if the numbers are so favorable:
Mitt was against the Bailout and Ryan was not!!
I figure he will win Florida. if he does not, he is toast.
