This is, admittedly, only speculation, but there are increasing signs tonight that the Romney campaign may be suffering from cash shortages, leaving it hampered in its supposed plans to wallpaper media markets with a massive ad blitz between now and Election day.
Rachel Maddow on her show tonight noted that strangely, Romney's latest events calendar has him spending more time at fund-raising events than out on the road campaigning, and this at a time when he desperately needs to find a new messaging approach if he has any hope of turning his chaotic campaign around.
A Maddow map showed Mitt in such strange places as Utah and Texas. For Mormon Mitt, Utah seems like a natural spot if you need money, but not if you need votes, because his big problems right now are key capturing swing states like Ohio, Virginia, Michigan, Colorado and Florida.....all of which he is currently losing.
Same goes for Texas....great for money raising, but not for campaigning. So what is up?
