We have come a long way from the days of the Dukakis campaign!

partly because of the Dukakis campaign, partly because of the Kerry campaign. You can only get burned so many times before you learn to pull your hand from the damn fire.

Hit back, act fast, define your opponent early in the race. Seems pretty simple in retrospect, but Obama is the first Dem I've seen do it effectively.

this ad couple with this other brilliant ad below should be shown in AZ, MT and IN.

That might be the best ad of the political season. The polls really started shifting once it was aired and Romney has been playing catch up ever since.

... the written phrase 'entitled' should have been expanded to include 'think they're entitled to food' for more impact.

Mittens would be history and then some.

using his own words against him instead of adding, doing this prevents any accusation of lying.

This ad shows he shot himself in the face and the heart...
If enough of the 47 percent see this..it will help us in ways we do not know yet...

expanding the written quote to match what Mittster actually SAYS about 'people thinking they're entitled to .... food'.


If you didn't HEAR him say it because your eyes were drawn to the quote ... think of how many other voters will also miss the impact of that one enormously powerful word .... FOOD.


JEEZ.

you then add more seconds to a video that is suppose to be 30 seconds ad, maybe FOOD could have an impact, but
I can understand them omitting six words.

My point is the video still makes the point and stays within the limit allocated for a TV ad.

Quite effective video. I feel like the campaign could use sound bites from Romney for every future ad.
