Since they're all beholden to the same corporate sponsor's, that's hardly surprising, is it? They're all on the same page when it comes to trying to buy this election.
Legally, they cannot co-ordinate with the Romney campaign, but that would be hard to prove without a "smoking gun" conversation caught on tape. Are they getting together with Team Romney? Who knows, but this comment seems more than a little unlikely to me:
“All of us have come to our own conclusions, but we have all come to the same conclusion,”
Why do you call yourself a "right wing thread killer" when you clearly spend a fair amount of your time generating threads intending to start an arguement?
I wouldn't argue that the GOP uses corporate dollars to aide in elections but Democrats buy electoral votes with tax payer dollars in the form of entitlements. At least the GOP is doing it with private funding...not our tax dollars.
"If we get this passed the N*****S will vote Democratic for the next 200 years."

Anyway...I don't know why I'm wasting my time with you. I just noticed that you live in Texas which essentially nullifys your voice.
Maybe Texas will be a swing state in a few years when the democrats start handing out social security cards at the border but for all intents and purposes (in 2012 at least) your voice will not be heard.

Argument? What's the difference between an argument and a debate in a discussion forum? Or, would you prefer we all only post things everyone else would agree with?
So..the GOP uses money to "aid" elections, but the Democrats "buy" votes?
You are right...there is not debate. Both side do it.
What bugs me is your do-gooders act like your party is SOOOO above spending cash buying votes. Yeah, republicans do it...at least the GOP doesn't do it under the guise of altruism in the form of welfare and entitlements. Democrats in the 60's knew it and Democrats now know it. LBJ even went on record saying it!
While the Super Pacs can't have any connections to Romney and his staff, I don't think there are any restrictions that prevent them from communicating with each other.
I doubt any of them have in-house advertising staff; it makes sense that they would contract ad agencies, as they can then get competitive bids for ad work.
There would be very little to prevent different ad agencies to get together, just to prevent stepping on each other's foot by planning similar campaigns. Duplication would be just a waste of money.
Without a doubt, specialists are being used. Radio is a totally different medium than TV, and both are different from print. Even print is specialized, as some agencies are geared up to mass mailings and others are not. Outdoor advertising is also specialized.
There may be a directing agency that was hired just to coordinate all these various mediums.
