Politico reported about midnight that Restore Our Future, the main super PAC for Mitt Romney has bought $2.1 million worth of TV ad time in Pennsylvania.
That’s on top of the $600,000 ad buy from a separate conservative group, Americans for Job Security which i reported on this morning.
The Romney super PAC is running the ad above, called “The New Normal.”
Independent polls show Obama leading in Pennsylvania, but Republican surveys which assume a more favorable turnout pattern for the GOP give Romney a shot. And who knows, maybe there’s just so much money flowing into the super PACs that they can’t fit any more into Ohio.
