1. OMG. Did they use a high school to produce that? Lamest ad, ever. So amateur.

And the "that's not the change I voted for!" really kills me. Yeah.. lots of people voted for the President because they believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. Trust me. the people that say things like Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, did NOT vote for Candidate Obama. I think that this will be laughed at.. not taken seriously.

BEST comment on the story: "Campaign for American Values PAC is trying to force bad acting on this country. I won't stand for it! Vote Obama!

Or perhaps not so surprising.

I know they like to use this as a wedge issue, but I thought they had decided not to make it an issue this year.

George Bush's own pollster from 2004 sent a memo to the RNC earlier this year telling them that it's not the winning issue it once was.

I call dibs on Clooney!

But really. Now that we know who's responsible for the content, can you tell me who's responsible for the production values? Geez.

unless they are afraid that the teaparty and social conservatives are so turned off from Romney that they may sit out the election. This ad only appeals to those who are already far to the right. Either they wasted money appealing to a constituency which is already solid - or - they have polling that suggests even the social conservative rw vote, isn't so solid.
