Mitt Romney's October Surprise Is Going To Be Legendary (Ad carpet bombing)
Business Insider ^ | 09/18/2012 | Walter Hickey

Posted on 09/18/2012 1:29:17 PM PDT by nhwingut

The thing about the set of leaked videos from a Romney fundraiser that nobody is talking about is this part: The video was taken at a $50,000 per plate fundraiser in Florida. You may not have noticed, but despite the blur there are a lot of plates in front of a lot of people.

This is what people are still not grasping about Romney: He's about to open up the money floodgates in a way that Obama can't match.

Romney was wildly successful during the primaries — not as a result of his charm and personality — but because he had a massive pile of money.

He still has a massive pile of money in his campaign coffers, and by all margins he's continuing to raise large amounts of money, as we've found through a look into the Center for Responsive Politics' database.

Just came back from Montgomery Co. OH Romney HQ. We will not have yard signs until last week of Sept. So, I think the whole arsenal will be unleashed.

So, is that why I'm supposed to like Romney then?

No, just go ahead and vote Obama. We know you want to. Maybe you’re hoping for some Obama cash too?

I have been hearing rumors that the Romney camp has something big on 0bama. I am not sure if it really exists, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

It’s Romney’s strategy, and Obama’s handlers failed to see it coming even when Romney has done it over and over again before. He waits until a few weeks before the election, then carpet bombs his opponent. It’s how he destroyed Newt, then Santorum. Obama has spent all his money. He has a couple hundred million left in his account after spending most of it and getting no movement. No perceived “gaffes” or supposedly embarrassing recordings are going to change the race. The only place Romney can trip up is the debates, which is why he chose Ryan, so that he could demolish Biden and set a good tone.

Here’s hoping all the practice Mitt has gotten in pays off.

The effect of negative advertising is approx 2 weeks so if Mitt lets loose the 2nd or 3rd week of Oct with the same type of scorched earth campaign he rained down on Newt all should be well come Nov 6th.

We received an invitation to have our picture taken with Paul Ryan for $10,000 or have dinner with him for $25,000. We declined but we have donated to Romney/Ryan but not nearly that much.

It’s not the volume of the ads, its the content. Does he have a Willie Horton in his back pocket?

Money that doesn't come free.

Romney is aiming for the 55% of the electorate who is addressable: workers, or people who would prefer to be working.

Romney is aiming for the Jews in Florida, with the leaked Pale video. Without Florida, I don’t think the numbers add up. Plus, Jews are THE biggest donors, usually to Democrats, and prying a goodly fraction away from Hussein helps with votes and cash.

More helpfully, the videos drive the left wild, and they think they have a Romney “Gotcha” moment, because the Left doesn’t understand that normal Americans (55%) will agree with Romney.

So, if this is crafted, it is brilliant. Don’t back down for a minute, Mitt! Release some more video that makes Leftists think they’ve “Gotcha”, when in reality you are shaving off their voters, and grabbing the marginal middle by STATING CONSERVATIVE OPINION with which a majority of Americans agree.

Damn. That’s almost Reaganesque.

The L.A. recording with the Muslims would be nice but probably too much to hope for.

...especially with a large part of the US having the attention span of a gnat.
