Here in Iowa, we were getting 2-3 anti-Newt mailers PER DAY.
Additionally, the anti-Newt robo-calls were probably 3-4 PER DAY in the last week leading up to the caucuses.
Mitt’s campaign and PACs probably can’t afford to do it to that extreme in Florida due to the higher population.
2111USMC, thank you for your service! You are correct that advertising in FL is very expensive. Our population far, far exceeds the combined populations of Iowa, NH and SC. It is stunning how all the impact of Romney’s huge spend thus far can simply be vaporized overnight.
If I am Newt Gingrich, I am taking John King and Juan Williams out to the most expensive dinners and sending their wives a fresh bouquet of roses every night! The clips of Newt’s responses to those 2 guys’ questions have been on constant rotation, non-stop, all week, all the networks free of charge to Newt! Drudge has posted the links, so Youtube is getting all these hits, free of charge.
If I am Newt, I am begging NBC to have Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddox, Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton only, to moderate the NBC debate Monday in Tampa. Don’t waste my time with Brian Williams. I want those moderators seething, foaming at the mouth, kicking, biting, hitting him with everything, hold nothing back! This is really the time when we need the wildest of the wildest leftist liberals to define the discussion for our GOP nominee. John King and Juan Williams are too moderate for me - I want the real freaks!
This is how we define the conservative vs. establishment argument. There is no question in my mind who will win the war. Go Newt!
Romney blew his wade in Iowa hoping to take out his only serious opponent (Gingrich). He spent over 6 million to do it... but to repeat that acrross 50 states would cost a minimum of $300 million-$500 million. And that’s obviously not going to happen.
Gingrich has weathered the storm, and managed to keep Romney to only 1 win in the first 3 states.
