New RNC/Romney Ad: Believe in the America you Built
hotair.com ^ | JULY 31, 2012 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 07/31/2012 4:31:38 PM PDT by BarnacleCenturion

How effective is the new ad from the RNC for Mitt Romney? Effective enough that the Washington Post describes it as “warm,” “personal,” and “down-to-earth.” The minute-long spot features Romney speaking of his personal experiences in business, as governor, and as the savior of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. It’s an overwhelmingly positive ad, but one with a big bite at the end:

Well, we’re going to need proof that he cut spending in Massachusetts. I flat don’t believe it. Especially with RomneyCare.

I don't know. Something like this or saying the public has nothing to fear from an Obama administration? Which is it? It's kind of hard to decide. /s

At last this guy acts like he wants to win.

IMO, the Leftist media doesn't know what to make of him. They've seen a lot to like of him in the past. His current presentations must be making them nervous though.

It is the first ad of Romney’s that I really like. I bet the Obama camp is going nuts about giving Mitt a theme for his campaign. ROFLOL

The new ad with the olympians and athletes speaking up for Romney is really good, too.

I believe Romney is a coldly pragmatic businessman.

That would explain his resume in the private sector, his liberal votes as gov of a liberal state, and his leaving the state with an unemployment rate under 5% and, if the ad is to be believed, a smaller deficit.

I am voting for him hoping he will acknowledge that the country is far more conservative than MA and make adjustments accordingly, while doing whatever possible to get the country back on track economically.

I hope.

On the other hand I know exactly what we'll get with Obama.

I like to see him driving. Makes me wonder: Last car I saw Obama drive was a Volt for about 3 feet. Does Obama know how to drive?

I think the leftist media is in for a big surprise. They seemed to want Romney as an opponent (another McCain!) but they might have miscalculated. Romney’s not going to be the “nice guy” pushover they thought he would be. Romney wants to win.

Bingo.

Romney is head and shoulders above McCain in that regard.

Romney wants this. Very very much.

(which is why, he should run with Palin)

Win the base. Big.

While he tries to convince the voters that he believes in America maybe we need to remind them of somebody who doesn't

That’s right. I agree. He’s not going to be a pushover.

Hope things are good for you SamAdams76.
