Obama in VA, Biden and Ryan in FL today. Obama big ad buy in NC, FL, OH

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/18/obama-campaign-adds-more-than-6-million-to-its-swing-state-ad-buy/

Below are the details of the additional $6.24 million the Obama campaign has bought:

FL: $1,320,754
NV: $253,050
WI: $770,194
OH: $1,654,398
NH: $722,945
VA: $199,535
NC: $1,320,085

Obviously, this means that both campaigns have concluded that FL, VA, and NC are unwinnable for the President.

Obama would not be spending all this money In Florida and NC If they thought they were not winnable.with Obama In Virginia
today but with virginia In smallest of new ad buy their internals must tell them something the public polls aren't showing.
Obama's ad buy In Ohio shows he's not taking it for granted and I think he really wants ohio.Remember history has shown If Republicans can't win Ohio they lose election.

It would be great to have Bill Clinton go to Florida. Poor Bill, he is critically needed everywhere, especially the swing states.

Questions:

Are you definitely going to vote?
Are you voting for Obama or Romney?
How old are you?
Are you male or female?

It was a quick poll. I figured something was up-- decision time about ads. They think it might be worth it.

Hundreds of people showed up for the rally in a venue that was too small and many were turned away. The line was as far as we could see and I feel sorry for those who couldn't attend. My husband and I are very fond of Joe Biden, he is such a warm and gracious person. Senator Bill Nelson did the intro and he and the VP are very good friends. VP Biden's daughter, Ashley, was with him and he introduced her. I know she appreciates all that President Obama and her father do for women. The place (our local community center) was packed and the energy was high. This is one of those supposedly red areas but man, the place was rockin'. I'm so happy that we went and so happy to see so many democrats fired up and ready to go! Another thing that was great, a lot of diversity, all ages down to young children who had the day off from school today and many people of color.
