Pro-Romney Super PAC Announces Ad Buy for London Olympics

7/5/2012

MIGUEL MEDINA/AFP/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- The pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future announced Thursday it is launching a $7.2 million ad buy to run during the London Olympics later this month.

The ads will run in 11 battleground states:  Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin July 31 through August 9.

Restore Our Future is not announcing yet whether it will be a new ad or one already released, but in a statement the super PAC said “the buy counters the Obama campaign’s recent Olympic ad buy.”

The Obama campaign announced last week a $5.5 million ad buy during the games, according to the New York Times.
