NEW YORK (AP) — Brace yourselves for the attack ads.
Rick Perry's Social Security plan might cost Florida its entire public education and prison systems. Mitt Romney is the flip-flopper responsible for "Obamacare." Or so declare just two presidential campaign videos on the Web.
Going after the president and each other, Republican candidates have been test-driving themes and previewing attack lines online for months, foreshadowing the TV ad war that's all but certain to start soon in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early voting states.
With less than three months before voting begins in GOP nomination contests, the candidates' pitches and criticism will be streaming into voters' homes, either by the campaigns or outside groups working on their behalf.
For a change, TV ads from the candidates so far this year have been scarce.
Some contenders, such as Romney, are stockpiling cash for a long nomination battle and waiting for voters to start paying attention to the race in earnest. After all, TV ads are one of the most costly expenses of any campaign.

It goes right for Obama's throat:
I will have to control myself from destroying my TV when they start running zero’s ad’s
Obama’s ads should be interesting.
Kind of like the one-armed blind kid explaining why he should be on the varsity basketball team.
Problem is when he is on the stage he Stutters and Stammers and Cant even complete sentences and make a Cogent argument.
Guess which candidate is not building up a campaign war chest because he is spending October hawking his book instead of paying attention to the logistics of a serious campaign.
Michael Steele to Herman Cain: Get Off the Book Tour
Guess which candidate has been focusing all of his attacks on Perry while treating Romney with kid gloves.
Guess which candidate endorsed Mitt Romney in 2008.
Guess which candidate is only doing what it takes be the next Sarah Palin with lucrative speaking fees, book sales and FOX News contracts while leaving the GOP nomination to his old pal, Mitt Romney.
Once again, many conservatives are totally infatuated by a "Sound Bite Machine" without ever noticing that they are being played by somebody that is focusing their energies on selling books rather than focusing on what it takes to fight and win a prolonged electoral war.
I warned about Sarah Palin and I am warning about Cain now:
A campaign war chest is the "beans and bullets" of a serious electoral war. If you want to know if a candidate is truly serious about fighting to win, pay attention to how much attention they are paying to the logistics required to win. Without logistics, all the talk of "strategy" worthy of Sun Tzu is just ridiculous self delusion.
"Amateurs talk about strategy and professionals talk about logistics." .... Omar Bradley
Don’t love him OR hate him hg, but he does deserve ‘props’ for going after ZERO in this excellent ad.
That’s what I want them all to do, and leave ‘speaking ill of fellow R’s’ ALONE.
My respect will go up for the candidate whose ads skewer zero and his leftist policies and minions. I weary of the circular firing squad.
I think that Gov. Perry does not speak “off the cuff” and is thinking out his answer when it appears he is stymied. Romnay has his canned answers down pat & spews them out without thinking. Cain does well, he has plenty of radio experience.
When you see Perry give a speech, he is great! These debates, he has undoubtably been the target and taking lots of flak - he hasn’t performed well, but I see him getting better as he hones his message. He is in it for the long run & will outlast most of the others because of their lack of money.
Perry will get better the longer he stays in the race.
GOP would be well advised to prepare for massive voter fraud and to stop and neutralize it now.
"Git thar fustest with the mostest."
So what did you warn us she would do (wrong)? Link, perhaps?
Voter fraud is the Dem’s SOP.
