Obama Campaign Seeks Ad Rates In States
Obama's campaign has worked to position itself for the general election, using top advisers and party leaders to portray Republican front-runner Mitt Romney as eager to change his position on key issues to advance his political interests while pushing an agenda that would benefit the wealthy. But the Obama campaign has avoided a large ad blitz, limiting its advertising to Web videos and online advertising on the websites of newspapers in Iowa and New Hampshire, the two early nominating states.

By making the inquiries for ad rates, the campaign is laying the foundation to begin a television advertising campaign in states that will be prized by both Obama and Romney in the general election. The campaign has requested the ad rates in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

According to the two paragraphs above, I guess the Republican running against Obama has been determined to be Romney already....

Romney's only won one state. It's true that he has an organizational machine that the others don't have, but I would submit to you that a sh*t sandwich, no matter how polished and dressed up, is, in the end, a sh*t sandwich. Given Romney's level of organization compared with the others, the fact that he's only won one state (New Hampshire) is a dismal one.
