Romney Campaign Cautious With Ad Budget, Even in Key States
And there is another place where his presence is oddly lacking: in the television ad wars.
Despite what appears to be a plump bank account and an in-house production studio that cranks out multiple commercials a day, Mr. Romneyâs campaign has been tightfisted with its advertising budget, leaving him at a disadvantage in several crucial states as President Obama blankets them with ads.
One major reason appears to be that Mr. Romneyâs campaign finances have been significantly less robust than recent headlines would suggest. Much of the more than $300 million the campaign reported raising this summer is earmarked for the Republican National Committee, state Republican organizations and Congressional races, limiting the money Mr. Romneyâs own campaign has to spend.

Quote from AK Forty Seven:
1.The money difference isn't that big
2.Pacs are stopping funding for Romney in some states
3.Pacs are not going to spend all their money on Romney.Dont think for one second that Rove couldn't get a job running campaigns .The money he's making from the fools funding his Pac is much better
4.Subtract 20 million from Mitt

Romney Reports First Debt of Campaign
DALLAS â For the first time in this campaign, Mitt Romneyâs campaign is $11 million in debt after borrowing $20 million in August.
The debt and borrowing sums were first reported by the National Review Online and confirmed by ABC News.
The campaign borrowed the money from the Bank of Georgetown, according to the report.
The move came just before the Republican National Convention when aides had complained they had been running out of primary campaign dollars to compete with President Obamaâs campaign. At the conclusion of the Republican convention, when Romney officially became the partyâs nominee, Romney had access to general election funds it had raised.
While Romney campaign has debt, it also reports having $168.5 million on hand after August.
Earlier this month, the Romney campaign announced that it had raised $111.6 million, less than Obamaâs campaign, which raised $114 million.
