New RNC web ad hits Obama on Florida's economy (Hits Debbie Downer too!)
The Hill ^ | 1/29/12 | Meghashyam Mali

... In the new web ad entitled "Not Up to the Job" to be released Monday, the RNC reminds voters that Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) opposed Obama and backed then New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic nomination contest.

The web video shows footage of Rep. Wasserman Schultz praising then candidate-Clinton and leading supporters in a chant of "Hillary."

Sure would be nice to see some of these hard hitting ads on television, instead of the web where very few people see them.

The ‘RNC’ is a bunch of wasted A-Holes, who stand for nothing except perpetuating the status quo! They have no credibility, and will not with me, until they get some spine and support true reformers!

Looking at Florida, the good thing that Newt supporters can take away is the fact that since Florida was a state that broke the pubbie rules by going early and has been penalized by losing half of its delegates.

In a normal year, Florida would have 100 delegate votes coming into the pubbie convention but this year they only get 50.

My state PA, has 6 million less people than Florida, but this year we get 72 votes for the convention, so while Florida is important, because they broke the rules, they cut their power in half and made PA more important than Florida.

Take heart, even if Newt doesn't win in Florida, it ain't over, heck, NC even gets more convention votes than Florida.

A candidate needs 1,146 and if mittens wins FL, he will only have 88 or 7.7% he will still need 92.3% to win in Tampa.

This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Newt can win here in PA too. There’s a split among the Republicans here in Philly between Establishment and Tea-Partiers. But I think the Republicans in the state as a whole lean conservative. It probably depends upon whom Rick Santorum endorses. If he goes Newt, then I think we’ve got Pennsylvania in the bag.

The problem for Newt, though, is that Florida is also the first state wherein ONLY Republicans could vote, right? I think all other races were “open”. I could be wrong, but I think that is the case.

Just saw the ad on Fox News; am shocked, really. But only confirms further; the 'ignorance that passes for wisdom' at our RNC. (It does little damage to Debbie; and in fact; becomes an endorsement, for HIllary. Strange and bad territory; given the 'Hillary speculation' that remains in the air; re Election 2012.)

The Dems/Obama move through a thousand sins a day; committed against America; go THERE; RNC! Wake UP!

The RNC would do well to take a page from Congressman West's book:

Allen West Tells Liberal Leaders To "Get The Hell Out Of The USA"

realclearpolitics link

Now this is an honest, bold message; that needs to be heard. And more Repubs should be going 'here'. Clearly; and unfortunately; the RNC; appears to have a different agenda.

He would ‘go Newt’; (IMHO)but fear the worst; Santorum will, still, be ‘in there’ when vote comes to Pennsylvania.
