Because the Romney camp has raised untold millions in campaign funds, they may be pulling back only temporarily and employing a rope-a-dope strategy where they release an onslaught of negative ads during the last few days of the campaign.

They also may be reserving some of those funds for a massive ground game assault.

Whatever the strategy is, I hope I'm wrong. I hope that they really don't see much hope in MI and PA at least.
