In reply to the discussion: Don't want to be a soggy mop here BUT Romney and Super-pacs pulling out of serveral states [View all]regnaD kciN
(26,044 posts)35. I don't believe it, either...
This would essentially constitute conceding an election two months before it happens. No way would a campaign do so this early, even if they were looking at a potential landslide; to do so in a race thai remains practically tied is madness. The only way this makes sense is if it is either a temporary pullback before returning with a new set of ads, or they've got a new SuperPAC that's going to handle all the ads in those states for them.

if so, that's small comfort if it works...we get Obama and an intransigent congress again...

Maybe they're just funneling the funds directly to Romney's Swiss bank account???

It means either they think they have those states in the bag, OR that they're lost causes...
