‎$24.2 mil for TV ads in Florida! Imagine how many people that could feed..or unemployment checks paid? or Mortgages saved?

"With so many people suffering, jobless, homeless, hungry etc..... and these people seem ok to spend on "negative ads" saying that they are the best person to cure suffering, jobless, homeless people"

Saw this on my friend Michael Place's Facebook status

I agree.. the SUPER PACs ..thanks to the Supreme Court..have unleashed a despicable wave of corporate greed.

 

 

Romney, Gingrich (and friends) spending the $22 million in Florida: The latest ad spending totals show Romney, Gingrich and Super PACs supporting them spending almost $22 million in Florida. Romney and Restore Our Future have outspent Gingrich and Winning Our Future about 4-to-1. The Super PACs, by themselves, have spent so far a combined $12 million, according to Republican ad tracker Smart Media Group Delta. The pro-Gingrich one, Winning Our Future, promises to spend another $2 million before Tuesday (to get up to that $6 million promised, but they haven’t booked buys YET). NBC’s Michael Isikoff takes a deep lookat Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate and principal funder of Winning Our Future. Here are the numbers:

- Pro-Romney: $15.7 million (Restore Our Future $8.8m; Romney: $6.9m)
- Pro-Gingrich: $3.9 million (Winning Our Future: $2.8m; Gingrich: $1.1m)

the numbers went up since this ad...
