Does the re-broadcast of this pre-flip flop Romney TV ad END HIS CAMPAIGN???
I have been wondering if Romney would be able to sell the dominionist/fundamentalist Christians on the idea that he reflected their "values" despite being a Mormon.

When I saw this pre-flip flop Romney ad, it seemed to me that he just will not be able to convince them that he shares their values. Check out the TV spot and tell me if you agree:

3. I got a link to the YouTube clip from http://senate2008guru. blogspot.com/
If it's not being broadcast in Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina, I have to believe that Giuliani or Thompson will fix that omission shortly.

5. Was the ad paid for by Romney's dog?
Story about dog on car roof comes back to bite Romney

The Globe's disclosure this week that Mitt Romney put his Irish setter into a dog carrier on the roof of his station wagon for a 12-hour trip to Ontario in 1983 has become a surprising flashpoint in the presidential campaign. TIME.com's Swampland blog has been flooded with more than 200 comments from readers complaining of animal cruelty, YouTube viewers have posted satirical videos, and hundreds of personal blogs are brimming with opinions and jokes.

For some, the story has become an occasion to consider larger issues of ethics and animal abuse. Romney, who has built an image as a strong manager, is now facing concerns about his ability to empathize with the less powerful, in this case, his dog, Seamus, riding atop his station wagon.

"I'll admit that I'm coming from a dog-centric point of view," Tucker Carlson, the conservative pundit, said Thursday on MSNBC. "But I'm feeling that maybe Mitt Romney lost my vote here. Do you need to be a PETA member to be disturbed by the fact that this guy put a dog on the roof of his car? Does that bother you?"

For some critics, the answer was yes.... Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron. But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea, which ran down the back window of the car. Romney's sons, all under 14, howled in disgust. Romney pulled off the road into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, and they drove on to Ontario.
