I just saw the "The Cheaters" ad here early this a.m. in PA, so President Obama is still running ads here.

It's like kicking a guy in the crotch when he's already down on the floor writhing in agony. In this case, the guy on the floor deserves it...

i hope the media follows up on this.

The China investment I knew about was the company that supplies cameras for the Chinese government to spy on its citizens.

as well as MSNBC, not sure how broad a level...but Rachel had a segment on it. http://www.democraticunderground.com/101761280

I don't know about the other stations.

They need to shine a bright light on it.

software and movies. It's a good ad but I don't see it connecting with the average voter.

I like the ads that send out a strong message and only last 30 seconds. Americans have a short attention span

have come down to results from Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. Especially with Kerry, I remember the Swiftboating and the nonstop character assassinations on Kerry that went unanswered.

I'm amazed at what I have been hearing from Romney and Ryan in their campaign speeches, where they attack Obama for things they condone and do in spades. This ad throws it right back at them and tells them they're hypocrites.
