“I feel like I am voting in North Korea.”

Don’t bad mouth North Korea. California is much more bankrupt than that country. In fact, California is the most bankrupt state in the nation. Oops, my home state of Illinois is the most bankrupt per capita. I think they’re both blue states. Surely a coincidence.

Personally I think Romney and his PACs need to run some ads NATIONALLY.
It’s just that there is a tendency for the national conversation to eclipse or overwrite regional advertising. But on the other hand you can influence the national conversation through your ads. O knows that; that is why in ‘08 and today you see his ads on national cable tv! In theory it could be a waste, but in practice it isn’t. First, per capita it’s cheaper. Further, it’s going to influence the national numbers which influences the general feeling about who is winning. And that general feeling will have a lot to do with who wins.

" The only reason Romney is now outspending Obama is because the Romney campaign was too stupid to purchase air time months ago."

No that's wrong. They couldn't spend general election money until after the convention. The incumbent has the advantage in that regard.

Glad to hear it.

I knew that there would be few ads here as we’re dark red, but I was seeing and hearing that Romney was being dominated ad-wise in the swing states. Had Me concerned.

Romney will do the same thing to Obama that he did to Newt in the Florida primary where he out ad -ed him 19 to 1 and punched his lights out. I will be glad to vote for Romney as I would be glad to vote for a name from the phone book over Obama; but I have never thought Romney is a nice guy. He is a ruthless campaign animal who goes for the throat. Watch him turn it up in the next debate.
