It’s not an error, it’s the law. Until Romney was the actual nominee of the Party, he was not permitted spend money for the general election. Please stop buying into the agitprop that this is a poorly run campaign.
Thank you for the correction. It’s still driving me batty. I want to see MORE ADS to combat this pervasive worship of The One! Sigh.
Why wouldn’t the same rule about ad buying apply to Obama? He wasn’t the official nominee of the Democrat party until after the convention which was a week after the Republican convention. Seems like if the law says you can’t buy air time until after you are the official nominee, Obama shouldn’t have been able to buy ads until the convention voted to make him their nominee. Romney should have been buying ads earlier than Obama.
Except that it is and it doesn't take a professional to notice. I keep waiting for a "shock and awe" blitz with all the money he's raised. I know October has barely begun and the election is still over 30 days away but Romney does need to step up his game, starting tonight.
The irony is that the GOP-e and the squishy moderate beltway crowd pushed this guy on the rest of us and yet I see *them* holding Romney at arm's length now that the election is getting closer. Where is the Party on defending their nominee and attacking Obama?
