Romney Trying to Win Election with Web Ads?

Presidential candidate and former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney has rolled out a new political web ad attacking President Obama and Chinese trade practices.

The ad, titled “Obama Isn’t Working: Trade,” slams China for counterfeiting U.S. goods and technology from big companies like Apple, HP and Google. It then questions why Obama and the current White House have yet to challenge China on these allegations and start actively protecting U.S. goods and patents.

What’s most interesting, however, is that Romney has yet to run a TV ad in the primary or caucus states in support of his 2012 presidential bid, according to the Weigel Blog on Slate.

The primary and caucus elections are some of the first steps in the Presidential election process, so they are the likely first targets for political ads. Weigel points out that many of the Republican candidates have been gun-shy about running TV ads.
