WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney began airing commercials Wednesday on
national cable networks at a cost of some $2 million in an attempt to
boost his standing among the leading Republicans seeking the
presidency.
The campaign also renewed an ad campaign in Iowa and New Hampshire,
a Romney adviser said. Most of the national ads will run on Fox News,
a strategic effort by the campaign to reach conservative voters.
The adviser spoke on the condition of anonymity because the campaign
does not publicize its ad strategy. In the national ad, called, "I like
Vetoes," Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, says that as
president he would demand that discretionary domestic spending be
capped at 1 percent less than the rate of inflation.
"If Congress sends me a budget that exceeds that cap I will veto
that budget," Romney says. "I like vetoing."

It needs to pointed out that the Mass. Legislature overrode
every single one of Romney's vetoes.
