Romney Pulls Ads in SC, Fla.
By JIM KUHNHENN and GLEN JOHNSON – 46 minutes ago
BOSTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has decided to pull his advertising from South Carolina and Florida, in a sign of trouble for a campaign that badly needs a win.
Romney had been hoping to challenge John McCain and Mike Huckabee in South Carolina, and Rudy Giuliani in Florida, where the former New York mayor has been spending time and money.
"We feel the best strategy is to focus our paid messaging in Michigan," Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said Wednesday.
The decision comes on the heels of back-to-back second-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire for the former Massachusetts governor. Romney, a multimillionaire who had used some of his own cash, had invested heavily in both states, counting on the two to give him the momentum toward the nomination.
Romney had been spending about $280,000 per week in South Carolina and spent $3 million there last year, according to rival campaigns. In Florida, he had been spending $160,000 per week and had spent $2.5 million in 2007.
Romney won the Wyoming caucuses on Saturday, a contest that drew little attention, and is counting on a win Tuesday in Michigan's primary. Romney was born in the state and his father served it as governor.
