Romney Spokesperson Confirms it: Mitt Hasn't Bought Any TV Ad Time In Any Feb. 5th State
By Greg Sargent - January 31, 2008, 9:13AM
With five days to go until Super Tuesday, Mitt Romney's spokesperson is confirming that the Romney campaign has bought exactly zero TV ad time in any of the states that vote on Feb. 5.

"We currently haven't purchased any ad time yet," Romney spokesperson Kevin Madden confirmed to Election Central, when asked about Feb. 5th states.

The Associated Press, relying on anonymous officials, reported the lack of any ad buying on the Romney campaign's part. The Politico also confirmed this late yesterday evening.

Even more interesting, Madden also refused to say whether the campaign would be buying any ad time in any Feb. 5th state. Asked if Romney would buy any time, Madden said: "We don't telegraph strategic decisions like ad buying ahead of time."

1. Why did he spend so much time trying to savage McCain then?

2. He looked really down on Tuesday night in his Florida speech

3. I heard that this AM! The reporter who reported it said that it's

been well known that Romney watches the amount of personal $$ he puts into his campaign very closely, and if it looks like he is losing his chances, he'll stop spending! He is smart enough to recognize that if McCain get's most of Rudy's supporters & their $$, then to top it off, the endorsement of Schwartzenager, Mittens has lost his grip!

4. I think he's afraid of going head-to-head with Gravel in the General.

Gravel Rocks!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney plans to run a "significant" level of television ads in California and other states that vote Tuesday in essentially a national primary, aides said Thursday, signaling a willingness to aggressively try to derail Republican front-runner John McCain.
Since his defeat in Florida Tuesday, the former Massachusetts governor has been debating how much of an effort to make in the 21 states that hold primaries and caucuses Tuesday.
