In FL, watching 60 Minutes-- every third commercial is for GOP

Either from Romney or a Pac or a right leaning local group. Just watched a very stupid one against Bill Nelson. Have not seen even one ad from the Obama campaign or any local blue candidates or any Democratic party PAC. Sigh.

It was a mix here. Missed a fewinutes, but don't remember any pro Romney, at least one official one from Obama.

and all these ad are about how bad the economy is. How few JOBS there are. NOTHING about Medicare or Social Security from Romney.

28 or so years old, calmly explaining how Obama has ruined our economy - from Americans for Prosperity- who are trying to look like the grownups in the room. Same message- different, more refined and sort of grassroots looking. Just like their website. http://americansforprosperity.org/

He's using a very cutting edge advertising strategy. This can mean you'll see more GOP ads in areas/demos he feels comfortable are in the bag already, that Romney wants to make inroads into.

No political ads that I remember at all. Of course, this place is locked up for Romney. Big Republican stronghold. Guess he doesn't need to spend the bucks here where it is already sewn up.

He must make inroads in South Florida and among HIspanics if he wants to take state.

Obama knows he's leading down here by a pretty large margin. I'm sure you see more obama ads in Central Florida and around Gulf Coast.
