Wish they would start playing one of these new ads in Colorado. I've seen the Obama lies commercial two times this morning while watching the local news and nothing about Mittens.

The beauty of all this is that NOTHING being done TO Mitt. There's nothing "dirty" or "Rovian" about asking candidates to account for themselves financially, or to explain their own contradictions. Romney has brought this on himself, and the Obama camp just happened to notice that a bag of gold had fallen on their heads!

There is creative genius in some of these ads, esp in the case of the "Firms" ad



The people in charge of the campaign seem to have a good grasp of how to fight. Obama the candidate has been a very likable guy in two election periods. I hope this 'Candidate Obama' persona remains after the election cycle and makes his way into the White House after we vote him back in.

Do you think McCain gave his permission to be used in this ad? (gawd, would that not be awesome) AND/ OR

Do you think this will force McCain to comment?
