Pro-Romney Super PAC has now spent $7m -- and counting

By NBC's Mark Murray

Restore Our Future, the Super PAC supporting Mitt Romney's presidential bid, has placed a new $1.7 million ad buy in Florida, bringing its total spending to $7 million and counting, according to Smart Media Group Delta, the ad-tracking firm partnering with NBC News.

By comparison, the well-financed Romney campaign so far has spent just $5.5 million in advertising.

Restore Our Future -- run by former top aides to Romney's 2008 presidential campaign -- has spent $2.7 million in Iowa, $1.7 million in South Carolina, and $2.6 million in Florida.

Here are the totals in the GOP Super PAC race:
Restore Our Future $7 million
Make Us Great Again (pro-Perry) $3.4 million
Our Destiny PAC (pro-Huntsman) $2.1 million
Winning Our Future (pro-Gingrich) $1.3 million
Red White and Blue Fund (pro-Santorum) $694,000
Santa Rita PAC (pro-Paul) $324,000

Note: While Winning Our Future will reportedly spend $3.4 million in South Carolina, Smart Media Group Delta has yet to see a buy of that size.

Do you have more than 7 days worth of food in your house? Congratulations! You ARE now a terrorist!

Wow, I make it a point to always have at least a month's food supply on hand because I do not drive, cannot really count on my estranged husband, do not have a supermarket in my neighborhood, (although there was one in walking distance when I moved here, now I'm down to some ethnic bodegas that are great for vegetables but don't carry meat), lost public bus service to a supermarket due to budget cuts, and could be criminally charged for neglect if I don't have enough food in my house since I have a minor child. Is Obama a PIG or what? He has no idea, none, what harm he really causes to the needy no matter how much he pretends to care about them. People who used to drive used cars are still suffering from that terrible 2009 law that basically removed perfectly good used cars from the roads, which was a terrible punishment on the poor for the crime of being poor. You used to be able to buy a serviceable used car for $1,500. Try to do that now after that POS got through with his prostitution to the auto industry.
