Friday Open Thread [7.6.12]
Perhaps this is the ad that Jason330 was talking about seeing on air in North Carolina recently.
“In political terms, the key to the new ad is that it broadens the attack on Bain to a contrast of philosophies and visions/policy prescriptions for the economy. The touting of Obama’s rescue of the auto industry is meant to contrast Romney’s faith in the unfettered free market as a cure all — which is dramatized negatively by offshoring — with a successful example of the type of government intervention in the economy to help shore up the middle class that Romney decries. The policy contrast is also present in the ad’s touting of Obama’s proposal to give tax credits to companies that bring jobs back to America.”
The ad is airing in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Here are some more Obama ads up in the aforementioned states:
The above ad has several versions specific to the state it is airing in.

It is. The “insourcing vs, outsourcing” is the best Democratic frame in years. I also like that it hits on Mitts fundamental lack of character.
If fearful Congressional Dems buy into this campaign instead of keeping their distance, I might start to think Democrats have got their groove back.
Now all we need is some good old-fashioned scare ads saying Romney wants to take your Medicare away. How about a picture of Romney with his arm around Rubio, and then cut to Rubio’s speech where he says Social Security and Medicare make us weaker. And then a grainy black and white of Paul Ryan and explain how Romney supports the Republican budget.
Someone on Reddit explained “Obamacare” better than the anyone from the administration. I guess the key was explaining it as if you were talking to a 5-year-old.

I guess Obama selling chrysler to Italy is considered Insourcing
Since the Chrysler jobs and plant didn’t exactly go to Italy, one wonders what your point is. Perhaps you should just pay attention to Sheriff Joe and his birth certificate shenanigans. Following the thread on multiple conspiracy theories seems to be too much for you.
Congress Keeps Free Mail While Pushing U.S. Postal Cuts
Right.
I just want to point out that the best Twitter account in Delaware belongs to the governor’s dog. I don’t know who dreamed that up, but they are a genius. Rue 2012!
