We know that the GOP has conceded Pennsylvania and Michigan.But if you are the Republicans, the obvious pivot is to Wisconsin, where the choice of Rep. Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney's running mate has provided their ticket a genuine boost in the polls. While Wisconsin has just 10 electoral votes, it's a crucial number—with North Carolina, Ohio, Florida and Virginia, Wisconsin would put Romney at 276 EVs and the victory. With North Carolina, Florida, Ohio and Colorado, Wisconsin would get Romney to 272.Sure, each of those scenarios requires Romney to hit a triple bank shot, but it's about the only plausible path to victory.So with Wisconsin competitive and critical to any chance of Romney victory, this story was particularly perplexing:The states seeing the biggest spending in this buy round are Virginia, Ohio, and Florida with about $1 million each.Also notably, Romney is spending about $600,000 in this buy on North Carolina, a state most analysts see as beginning to trend toward Romney, but close enough that he may have to spend money here.The other states he will be up in with this buy – Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada.
are they under the assumption that WI is in their back pocket? are they counting on Walker to deliver with Koch bribe money. have they forgotten the tens of thousands that filled the WI streets to rid themselves of the crooked gov. crooked money over ran them but a Presidential election is a whole different ball of wax
if money can't buy you love we know it can buy you a more nefarious thing elections right wing style. but are they taking us back to auction blocks and selling us off to their highest bidder, God complex to think they can still get away with owning rights to another now American's?
i guess more important, are "we the people" going to let them get away with it part deux?
