Romney Pulls All Ads in South Carolina, Florida

The AP is reporting that Governor Mitt Romney, following his loss in New Hampshire, has pulled all his ads in South Carolina and Florida. He had been advertising here since January of last year. It was very difficult to turn on televison for a few minutes without hearing, "I'm Mitt Romney and I approved this message" What is going on? Has Mitt Romney gone broke? No Way! The Guys Loaded! So why?
We think he has laid his bet on one more number and if he doesn't win, he's going home. South Carolina is the turning point for many campaigns, but Michigan may be his. Senator Fred Thomson is doing nearly the same thing in South Carolina, but unlike Romney, money is an issue.

Associated Press - January 9, 2008 5:04 PM ET BOSTON (AP) - Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is pulling his advertising from South Carolina and Florida. The former Massachusetts governor was hoping to take on Mike Huckabee and John McCain in South Carolina and fight Rudy Giuliani in Florida. A Romney spokesman says the campaign feels the best strategy is to focus their advertising dollars on Michigan. The move comes on the heels of back-to-back second-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire for Romney.

Romney is already freaking out! This may be the bounces going Fred Thompson's way I was talking about in my article.
I think Romney has a very good shot at winning in Michigan. His father was once the governor of the state and his brother sits on the Michigan State University Board of Trustees. Basically, his family is the political family of Michigan.
Maybe his move to put all his chips on Michigan makes sense because if he loses his home state no one will think he can win the country.

Many of his relatives have run for public office and failed. Since Govermor Romney was in office in the 63-69 I think we were all kids during that time. Huckabee has posted a new ad in SC on immigration which leads me to beleive he is listening to polls. The biggest issue in South Carolina is immigration. He is advertising regularly here. Fred Thompson is taking the hands on approach. I am sure he will be in the Spin room at the debate thurs. He didn't in Florida. His advertising is slow here. I expect he will blitz starting Jan 9th.
