I wonder which markets. Rochester would likely mean advertising aimed at Wisconsin and/or Iowa. Minneapolis is such a large market, though it would carry over into Wisconsin. Same with Duluth.

I’ve seen some Romney ads being broadcast here in the Twin Cities. I was kinda surprised at first but then it occurred to me that our media market extends well into western Wisconsin.

There are some population-heavy counties (particularly along the Mn-Wi border) that Romney needs to do well in if he has a chance at winning Wisconsin. Romney is performing better than expected here in Minnesota - but I think these ads are aimed more at Wisconsin than us.

Cool! I was hoping they would do this. If Romney is ahead by 3% nationally, Minnesota should be in play.

Take Wisconsin and then Ohio becomes gravy.

Take Minnesota and we are looking at a landslide.

wonder why Romney isn't running ads in California. I was driving to work today, and it suddenly struck me that California is completely dead to Obama. Four years ago the drive to work in the morning was a sea of Obama sunset bumper stickers. Before that it was all John Kerry. This year I don't think I have seen a single Obama sticker.

Not that there are a lot of Romney stickers, but I did notice a young woman in a pick-up with a Romney bumper sticker, for whom I had an immediate crush.

I even work at a major university, with a bunch of socialists and liberal students, and I haven't heard a peep about about Obama. Again, four years ago that was TOTALLY different. I guess with Shepard Fairey in jail, or on probation (or whatever) and schools being hammered economically for four years now, there isn't a lot of enthusiasm left anymore.

It would be nice to see just one Romney ad on TV just to feel like my vote is going to count.

I wish he would run some in California all I see is Obama commercials here and I also saw a Diane Feinstein ad which I thought was pretty odd I have never seen an ad for her before and I have lived here for a very long time.

Good news - not only that he feels the ads may be helpful, but the fact he has the cash to put into them. Until the election, I’m a certifiable schizoid - feeling good that Zero may be gone and scared to death that Zero will be there next year...

Shocker Nov 6 2012 – Heavy rains keep voters away in Twin Cities, Romney takes Minnesota

Thanks for posting, but the information is useless without knowing where the ad buy is. If this is out of Rochester or Duluth it’s almost certainly part of the ongoing effort to take Wisconsin. If it’s out of the Twin Cities, this is either a stunt or a huge sign of a landslide.

BTW, Obama shifted his ad buys from North Carolina to Rochester weeks ago. He’s on defense in Iowa and Wisconsin...and the fact Obama will be in Green Bay on Tuesday means they are really in trouble, because they won WI by over 15 last time.

Many are unaware of this, but Minneapolis’s television market is in the top five markets of the nation. There reach is amazing when you consider it’s the biggest metropolitan area east of Chicago. You need to go to Denver to get another one as far reaching as Minneapolis’s TV market area.

That is why the NFL wanted to make sure the Vikings never left Minnesota. Dirty little secret that the NFL kept very quiet about was that if the Vikings and the state had not made a deal, the NFL was prepared to step in and keep them there at all cost.

So it makes perfect sense that Romney would buy time in Minnesota.
