18,000 ads in those swing states and they flooded the zone with anti-romney ads, specifically attacking mitts tax plan and i think that sort of thing at that moment truly could have some effect on the polls. >> if you look at gallups results, they showed that the mitt romneys convention speech was the least well received in modern history. 38% liked it, versus 52, if i recall correctly, for john mccains speech four years earlier which was not exactly a barn burner. >> i certainly agree with kim ...
