10 million dollar Ad buy - "restore our future" - to attack Obama. just heard on TV

Here's what is known about them - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restore_Our_Future - some familiar names in there.

Being lucky to live in a Battleground State (NC), my wife and I will be ignoring/muting/turning off many of these over the next few weeks.

It may not tell them anything, but it sure beats listening to the Rmoney lies. Too bad they can't be hacked or use a device that turns all TV's 1/4 mile around off. LOL!

get what is going on. I wonder how many watch these attack ads as the gospel truth. I hope individual Americans one day muster up the courage to think for themselves before it's too late and a dystopia has taken hold of this country.

They are going to have a short window to define Ryan. Over at Politico they reported a half full Obama rally and the trolls were all over it about how Romney had 10,000 at this rally. Perception is reality. If the perception is that Romney/Ryan is strong (which is nuts) it will become so. I really wish that the media talking heads would STOP prefacing everything about Ryan with "he's a really nice guy". What is that about???

and now that people don't like Ryan or Romney, the attack ads will actually work against THEM, not Obama. They're going to be seen at shrill and desperate, and only play to the Obama-haters. They still do note define Romney, nor address his secrecy.
