Voiceover:

"It's a promise that was made long ago. You work hard, pay in. Your Medicare benefits are guaranteed. But Mitt Romney would break that promise...replace your benefits with a voucher."

"Insurance companies could just keep raising rates. .Instead of a guarantee, seniors could pay sixty four hundred dollars more a year. AARP says the plan Mitt Romney supports undermines Medicare. Mitt Romney. An end to the Medicare Promise."

1. Great, great ad. The truth rings clear, as a clarion call

And the timing is perfect. I hope OFA bought out the time around the networks' hour each of the 3 nights of the RNC. Especially after the polling released this weekend (AP/GFK, iirc) that showed not just the vast majority of Americans, but the vast majority of folks in their 20's & 30's want Medicare to be there for themselves and are quite willing to pay more in taxes to ensure it. Seems to me that the Great Recession convinced even younger Americans that they can't count on making enough money to cover their needs when they're old or disabled. Not exacted the attitude the Rmoney crowd expected after 30 years of brainwashing!
