RE Romney ads in swing states - I want to know about them.

Here in TX, I heard the daily Obama ads slamming Romney ... sending jobs to China, the 47%, not paying taxes, not trustworthy because he wouldn't release his tax returns, etc. But there were no Romney ads answering these charges. OK, that's because he didn't bother to have a campaign in safe states like mine.

[ And btw Team Romney screwed the downticket Republican candidates by doing so. I read the Harris county results .. .Obama won narrowly in the county and when you look at all the county judge and other races in the county, you see the Democrat candidates ran the board all winning by 1% or less. Which I blame on straight ticket voting - common during Presidential races. When the Democratic national leadership works to get their base out and the Republican national leadership doesn't in some places, the other candidates suffer. ]

But in OH (and other swing states) did Romney run ads countering the trash thrown at him? When they make charges and you don't counter them a lot of people will think they're true.

Romney should have aired a commercial daily in OH and other swing states that mentioned the jobs he helped create at Staples and other companies and compared that real job creating record against Obama's $90 billion failure at throwing money at Solyndra and similar failed companies. Most people in the country have never heard of Solyndra. If thats true in OH, its a shame because the Romney campaign should have made sure every Ohioan exposed to radio and television heard the words Staples, Solyndra, $90 billion daily over the last two months.

The image below should have aired on every swing state daily for the last two months ... did it?

Romney's record of charitable giving (30% of income and including time and effort) should have been aired regularly too, modesty has no place in a campaign. Was this addressed in Romney ads?
