Devastating to Romney. We have our own Karl Rove somewhere.

And I love it.

one of the MOST effective political ads of this campaign. I remember seeing it for the first time and being absolutely STUNNED by that last line. The cruelty of that scenario struck me. It was incredibly effective. I felt terrible for this poor man and the other workers at that plant. I got angry just thinking about it, but I also wanted to cry for him.

The Obama Campaign put a face on Mitt Romney that is hard to erase from the public's mind...

It makes me feel so much for that man and how devastated he must have been when he lost his job.
Obama has had some really effective ads this campaign (with the 47% ads as well).

forward and it worked! Brilliant stroke!

David Corn and Mother Jones Magazine delivered the coup de grace to Romney by releasing that video. Good old fashioned journalism!
