They're still busy blaming Bush.

How sad, pathetic, and out of touch is that!
The only demograph obama is impressing with his ads is the same demograph that is voting for him anyway.

I believe that most Americans are fed up with the ridiculous state of politics. I think there is as large segment of fence sitting undecideds who want to hear the FACTS...not some vague talking points or smear tactics.

I don't think 2012 is going to be won with negative ads. I think if Romney keeps pounding home the FACTS of how the obama administration has been....and will continue to be....a miserable failure, then he will win.

At this point the cat is out of the bag about Ron Paul's message of FREEDOM and no matter what Romney does to try to create a message and do what he should have been doing beginning DAY ONE is going to be too little, too late.

The people Romney needs to vote for him (called delegates) are voting for Ron Paul.

I want Romney to make religion the focal point of his election, what part of that didn't you understand. I'm not joking.

You just contradicted yourself, again.

I think the Democrats should focus at least as much time on Romney's religion as the GOP did on Rev. Wright in 2008. Somehow, I don't think Republicans would want to go there...

I disagree, I think Romney should really talk about his religious views and that of the Mormon church, I think it would help him, especially with the GOP base, get them fired up.

If I understand correctly someone (Rev. Wright?) said that Obama tried to bribe Rev. Wright in 2008 to keep quiet?

Assuming it is true, how would you even prove something like that?

Is it enough to just have an ad that says "sources close to Obama said that his campaign tried to bribe Rev. Wright, what is Obama not telling us (said in ominous political ad voice).

This seems like a losing ad to me.

I concur! The far right fundamental Christians are such an open-minded, live-and-let-live bunch. I'm certain they wouldn't hold his "different" religion against him, right?
