New ad by Clint Eastwood: An Obama rerun would not make my day
hotair.com ^ | 10/24/12 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 10/24/2012 7:13:04 AM PDT by Justaham

American Crossroads has a new ad out today, one that features a familiar face and voice — Clint Eastwood. Taking a distinctly more serious approach than his lighthearted, extemporaneous skit speech at the Republican Convention, Eastwood warns about rising dependence on China’s credit and the prospect of another four years of Barack Obama. America needs a turnaround artist, Eastwood says, and fortunately we have one at the ready:

The reference to China will play well in Ohio and Pennsylvania, I’d bet — and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this ad go into heavy rotation in those states, as well as Virginia and New Hampshire. Eastwood’s iconic status may or may not impress Obama voters, but among older independents, Eastwood might be quite effective. It’s a smart move to roll this out in the final two weeks.

Mr. Eastwood, in an e-mailed statement, explained his motives. “I did the ad because I’m concerned for our country,” he said. “I really believe Mitt Romney is the kind of leader we need right now. He’s an experienced businessman, and he knows how to work with people to fix problems. It’s time to give someone else a chance to fix our country.”

Great. Short. To the point. And... Clint! Baby boomers identify with him, and like him. It should help.

Great ad.

I still have the empty chair out, actually I put another one out along beside it. The first has HOAX with the O symbol in it. It also has a re-run of my HNOPE sign on it.

The second one has a "FEELING DUPED?" sign on it in red letters.

I get compliments from lots of the neighbors, and just love the thought of pissed off libs driving by........
