I am confused. Romney is terrible - he'd not get a look in here in the UK - yet an ad attacks him for speaking French? Can some kind FRiend explain this angle and how it will be or should be effective?

If you hunt down a PJ O'Rourke book called "Holidays In Hell" and read the essay titled "Among The Euro-Weenies", you should get some sense of why this would be an effective tack. If it weren't taken by some Uber-Intellectual college professor who, under ordinary circumstances, considers himself to the the smartest human being in the room.

In general, there's a common perception that the USA has pulled France's butt out of the fire several times over the past 100 years or so, yet France is generally ungrateful for our help and somewhat snobbish in their attitude.

Thank you, I shall find it and read it.

Isn’t any country on the planet who hates the French more than the English - we have a 900 year head start on you - but this whole line of attack would simply be a non starter here. Hence my confusion.

And my thanks to all thus far. As my post history shows, I prefer Perry - he’ll actually consider his allies as more than second spear carrier on the right - but ANY true conservative is better than the squishys or the Dems. What the US does, Europe echoes.

Go Santorum! Go Perry! Go Newt!
