"ads... what ads?"
Associated Press
is reporting that Romney is pulling his ads from South Carolina and Florida. Virtually conceding both of those races to Mike Huckabee.
Many have wondered if Rudy will make his comeback in Florida, and he well could. But Romney's move allows an easier division of the pie. True social conservatives will have only the one candidate opposing the social liberal Giuliani.
Huckabee's internet team should immediately use this bit of news to RAISE money for those two races specifically - especially Florida.
The Associated Press implies that John McCain will contest for South Carolina - which he did aggressively in 2000 - but something tells me that this is a very different year.
Nonetheless this may be the right play for Romney, a big win in Michigan would be something he would not have seen to date.
