Pro-Obama Super PAC Roars at Romney
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Priorities USA Action, the super PAC backing Barack Obama, has lunged into general-election mode with ad buys in key swing states.
The PAC launched an anti-Mitt Romney television ad in Ohio, Iowa, Virginia and Florida at a $660,000 cost, according to The Associated Press. The buy was the group's first major expenditure since Rick Santorum dropped from the GOP primary race to virtually guarantee Romney's nomination.
