Romney Spending Huge Sums On TV Ads In New Hampshire
If Mitt Romney is rising in the polls in New Hampshire, this might explain why: He appears to be spending huge sums on TV in the state, and has been doing so for some time.
Mitt was spending $100,000 a week through October, and he's now upped the ante to $200,000 a week, according to a report from GraniteProf that the Romney camp has not disputed. He notes that this level of spending translates into some 200 ads per week.
It's yet more confirmation of the extent to which the Romney camp is putting all its chips on big wins in New Hampshire (where he's widening his lead) and in Iowa (where the race is rapidly tightening) in advance of Rudy's predicted success on super-primary day, Feb. 5. (Via Jonathan Martin.)

Unlike the underfunded Romney, Ron Paul is not going to blow his wad in NH, and save an equal amount for SC, Nevada, and other key early states.
