An aide to the billionaire whom political advisers say wanted to fund TV ads about President Barack Obama's former pastor says the $10 million proposal will not go forward.
The New York Times reported Thursday that a group tied to TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts was considering an ad campaign featuring Jeremiah Wright's incendiary sermons.
But an aide to Ricketts issued a statement later in the day saying the proposal would not be implemented.

Don’t worry folks...an ad campaign featuring the good Reverend is already in the works by a group of FReepers (myself included) with media and consulting backgrounds, who were deeply involved in the 2010 campaigns. Stay tuned. you will like what you see, and there will be similar funding involved.
My guess is Slick Mitt doesn’t want the Dems putting out too many anti-Mormon ads in retaliation.
B U MMM...MMM P
“My guess is Slick Mitt doesn’t want the Dems putting out too many anti-Mormon ads in retaliation.”
And this is what will happen if we go after Wright, you open the door for a petty religious war between Wright and Mormonism. Is that what we want the campaign to be about?
Romney needs to keep on the theme of Obama being an amateur an incompetent leader. Impress upon the voters that you are a competent stable leader that will put the country back on track.
I feel the voters are ready to move beyond the Obama era, don’t blow it by throwing up ghosts from 2008. There are enough people out there that secretly know they made a mistake in 2008, they don’t need their faces rubbed in it.
Whitaker had offered Wright $150,000 “if he would just shut-up and not criticize Obama anymore.” When Wright refused Whitaker’s offer, Klein said Obama himself personally met with Wright, which supposedly took place after Obama’s March 18, 2008 “race speech,” confirmed by both Wright’s word and the U.S. Secret Service logs.
Dr. Erick Whitaker is the same guy who runs the Urban Health Initiative at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where Michelle Obama got her big six-figure promotion coincidentally shortly after The One was elected to the Senate; the same guy who got a “glowing” reference from Obama for Tony Rezko, which led to Rod Blagojevich hiring Whitaker to be the state’s public health director; and the same guy whose UHI program just got nearly $6 million from HHS as one of 26 grantees in an applicant pool of 3,000.

In my state, Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and her husband received OVER $3 million of stimulus funding for their section 8 housing projects...BUT, no one is willing to touch THAT story...not our pubbie candidates or the state GOP.
“I would prefer then spending the money on research and advertising the complete corruption of the “Stimulus” dollars.”
There is a ton of stuff like this out there that can be used for 3-4 months. People understand political cronyism. It much easier to portray Obama as just another Washington insider playing fast and loose with our money.
Try tying Obama to Wright will take a lot of informing and most people will just say: “Ok, but what does that have to do with my job, or my house value or the economic future of my children.”
By the way I’m from Missouri also and McCaskill is finished in this state.
mormonism is going to be laid bare, during this campaign. Romney will try and stop it, to no avail.
