The Romney campaign announced on Friday the beginning of a major advertising campaign in eight battleground states - Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. The effort will include 15 new commercials, each tailored specifically to the state it will run in and focused on a particular issue like the deficit, defense, manufacturing and energy.
In Florida, people will see commercials about falling real estate values and high foreclosure rates. In Colorado, where the military and defense contractors are large employers, people will hear how the president's budget cuts could cost 20,000 military jobs there. In Iowa, they will hear how “excessive government regula tions are crushing small businesses and family farms.â€
