Michael Barone has suggested that Romney's style and moderate reputation could help him with affluent suburbanites, two groups overrepresented in Connecticut and New Jersey. I hope they're both polled more so we can get a better sense of where they're at.<br /><br />As for the Romney team focusing ads in New Hampshire and Nevada but not Wisconsin and Michigan, it could be that they are waiting to see how competitive WI and MI will be later before dumping ads in them. This is in contrast to NH and NV, both of which are probably far less expensive to advertise in, so running ads there would have less of an impact on the campaign's coffers.L.T.
