Don't Count Romney Out

Romney seems liberated on the trail -- like a hose unbent. He is full of energy; his television ads are excellent; his debate performance last night was stellar...

A lot of voters in Concord this morning told me they were choosing between Romney and Huckabee -- and this was at a McCain event.

And while there are many vestiges of the old McCain, he is more negative, has more baggage, is still unacceptable on immigration, and was on the air late.

More to the point:

The Neilsen folks are releasing daily updates of the total number of TV spots run by candidates in this race.

Number one, everywhere, is Mitt Romney, who has aired 4010 commercials in the Boston/WMUR designated market area (this includes Manchester), 2262 in the Burlington,VA and Plattsburgh, New York markets, and 1258 ads in the Portland-Auburn market, which covers Maine and parts of Northeastern New Hampshire.

If money can win an election, Romney has it.
