1. I think so as well

there will be snips of it used all year long. He may still the the Rethug nod, as they don't actually think, but this secured Obama's re-election.

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. It's hilarious to watch the Republicans eat each other with Occupy themes

This is a Gingrich PAC produced film, after all.

[Bragi]

4. Quite true

Looks like Gingrich has gone full-tilt scorched earth.

The beauty of this is that it doesn't just discredit Romney, it discredits anyone from the pillaging capitalist class who runs for any party on their alleged private sector "record of achievement."

This is as it should be. I'm luvin' it!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. If you think about it - Newt actually probably thought he was going to win - however briefly

He was riding high. And who f'd it up for him? Romney. Bet he thinks if Romney hadn't done
what he did, he'd be prez.

Despite the way I feel about these people....just looking at them as human beings - it must have
been really hard for all of them ....Bachman...Trump...Perry...Newt...Gingrich..Cain. All, for some
period of time went to bed and probably had dreams of maybe being prez. And then to watch
it slowly slip away, day by day, trickle by trickle. Perry can blame himself (poor debate). Cain
can blame his chicks. Trump can blame his stupid birther deal. But Gingrich only has one
person to blame...Romney

5. I never thought I would thank newt for something but

wow thanks newt!

[GardeningGal]

3. Do you know anything about when/how it will be released? nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. not precisely - but they will show in SC...and that's only what 10 days away? nt

[brooklynite]

6. But nobody will see it...

...because the average voter doesn't spend his or her time watching political films. Only question is whether it gets exerpted for commercials.

[yellowcanine]

9. Heard on NPR this morning that Newt's superpac is running ads on it in South Carolina

I think there is little question that it will be seen many times before the general election campaign. Win or lose for Romney, it will be part of the narrative come September. The beauty is that it undercuts Romney's self proclaimed strength (business experience, job creation).

[yellowcanine]

7. This stuff will be useful when Romney attacks Obama for "crony capitalism."

I hope the Obama campaign has a good filing system for all this stuff. Put it together with Romney's talk about crony capitalism, pink slips, and firing people - now that is going to be devastating.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. what if it collapses romney and obama has to deal with one of the other asshats? nt

[yellowcanine]

16. It probably depends on which "asshat" but there is not much question that Romney competes better

with Obama than anyone else - on paper at least. He has the best name recognition (except possibly for Newt - but Newt has more baggage), he has the best national organization, he has more of the establishment Republicans working for him. Overall he probably has the most appeal for true independents and even the odd Reagan Democrat. For all of his flaws, every other candidate has a lot more, save maybe Jon Huntsman, and I think he is not going anywhere this time around. Santorum on paper looks good but he will not get past the social issues extremism tag - and he very likely would not carry his home state of Pennsylvania in a general election - not essential for a Republican candidate, but Romney would stand a better chance in PA than Santorum, imo. And to win Republicans have to capture one or two big blue states, imo. Newt might do a little better nationally than Santorum but not much. Newt is terminally damaged goods even if he does not know it.

8. I agree, it has me in anticipation

And it already has gotten a lot of play time in the media, so it already is having an effect and the full movie hasn't even been released yet.

[spanone]

11. i thought newt was appalled by negative campaigning....bwahahahahahahaa

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. yes, he dug in deep with that too. he was actually telling people that they should never

ever vote for someone who does it. oops

[yellowcanine]

18. Somewhere the moldering Ronnie "11th Commandment" Reagan is spinning in his grave.

The Eleventh Commandment was a phrase used by former President of the United States Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for Governor of California. The Commandment reads:
"Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."[1][2]

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. And I really can't remember them breaking it much til now. But, you know what seems

missing, which is great to me, is the Bushco/Rove influence. It seems much more fluid and
real now. Just hope the election fraud methodologies stay in the past

[Skidmore]

14. I just heard on NPR that in SC viewers are seeing this ad at the

rate of 70x per day.

Now someone needs to explode Newtie too.

[emulatorloo]

17. Romney SuperPac already "exploded" Newt in Iowa

[fredamae]

15. This is a Preview of what going to

come for Pres Obama. Be aware. If these guys are dumping This kind of cash against their Own-We ain't seen nothin' yet

They have been polling and surveying Americans, studying our shopping habits, books we buy etc-for Decades, basically studying our psychology for a variety of reasons, using the results to advertise better and so on-well, those results are also very beneficial to formatting effective campaign ads.

The attacks against Obama are going to be creating a foundation of mistrust, fear, uncertainty etc.

We are going to have to be prepared because it will Not look like BS by the time we see/hear "it".
Stay focused, keep researching on your own and ask direct, specific questions.

[Douglas Carpenter]

19. a new day is dawning when Newt Gingrich makes the socialist case against the leading GOP candidate

[jberryhill]

20. A privately-funded political attack film was the core issue of Citizen's United

So, we're in favor of that sort of thing now?

[Bragi]

21. Nope, but it does look good on them

I hope the GOP primaries remain contested so they can mount unending attack campaigns right up to their convention. Obama is going to need all the help he can get, so we shouldn't be preachy about this kind of electoral assistance from the GOP.

[deacon]

22. K + R

[EC]

23. Okay, now watch the repubs say that Romney is this way

because of his liberal leanings and that it is because of liberal policies that these businesses like Bain exist...their base WILL believe that and the whole thing will be twisted and turned against us by at least 20% of the repub base that are too stupid to figure it out. We'd never have that 20% anyway, but the others...I wonder how they are at putting 2 + 2 together?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. ya think? it would be a stretch, to me - but who knows. I see them turning on the schmucks who

lost their jobs as "losers"

[kentuck]

27. I like the way they spell his name.... Rmoney...

I think I will use that..

[Old and In the Way]

28. Mitt Romney - the jobs cremator nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. brilliant ! did you make that up? perfect nt

[Old and In the Way]

31. Wish I did...h/t to a poster a T-Bogg. nt

But it is sooo good, I plan to use it every chance I get.

[Pisces]

30. The film is brutal coming from Republicans. He deserves it. A mechanical robot that will say anythin

to get elected.
