Romney Tailors ‘First 100 Days’ Ads to Swing States
abc News ^ | Jun 22, 2012 | By Arlette Saenz

Mitt Romney’s campaign released four ads Friday morning specifically tailored to the battleground states of Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia.

The 30-second ads, each titled, “100 Days” followed by the corresponding state name, explain how Romney would handle the important issues of each state within his first 100 days in office. Three of the four ads, excluding Ohio’s, mention Romney’s commitment to repealing President Obama’s health care plan. Voters in Virginia and Iowa will see how Romney plans to slash the deficit on day one, with “$20 billion in savings.”

The Iowa ad says Romney will work on balancing the budget and that his first 100 days will result in ”fewer worries about their future and their children’s future” for the people of Iowa. The ad in industrial based Ohio emphasizes Romney’s commitment to stand up to China, repealing regulations restricting the energy industry, and creating “a better place to do business as we see more factories and jobs coming back.”

So Romney will expediently leave 0bamaRomneyCare in place for Ohio?

Or is his committment to repeal dependent? On what?

The man has no actual principles.

Obama”care” is the Death Knell for the United States of America.

The USA Federal Government is broke, and is forced to borrow 3 1/2 BILLION dollars from our grandchildren EVERY DAY!

This then is the Federal Grandchildren Tax, or FGT, separate from the FIT or Federal Income Tax that only 51 % of us pay.

2012 is the third year of the American Taxpayer Revolt, in spite of what our sorry politicians and apathetic Liberal Agenda Media try to tell us.

The Silent Majority is silent no more.

If Romney is elected he has promised to “keep the best parts” of Obama”care” and send it back to each of the 50 States, resulting in the Death Knell of each of the 50 States that choose to keep the Obama”care” Death Knell.

Right now there is a 50-50 chance that Obama will get re-elected.

No matter that Obama was the worst Federal Financial Steward EVER!

If Obama gets re-elected he will just declare, by Executive Order, that Obama”care” is legal, and thus the demise of America will be accomplished during his Reign of Obamanation.

If THE NINE SUPREMES knock down ANY part of Obama”care,” then Senate Minority Leader Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell and Esteemed Sobber-of-the-House Boehner will rush to replace the Court-damaged parts of America’s Death Knell.

The only possible positive outcome will be to ABOLISH FOREVER Obama”care.”

America cannot afford to continue Federal programs to buy votes with debt that we charge to our Grandchildren.

BTW, it is all very simple as illustrated by the words of Paul Harvey: “ WHEN YOUR OUTGO EXCEEDS YOUR INCOME, YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL.”

A distinction without a difference.

“Romney Tailors ‘First 100 Days’ Ads to Swing States”

Very wise of them to throw their campaign dollars towards those states which they absolutely need to win.

It makes little to no sense to spend $$$ in states which Romney hasn’t a chance of winning. Others will chime in with the refrain “make the other side spend more $$$ in states like California and New York, and they will have less to spend in the battleground states”. All well and good, except...

...in “Divided America”, with “forever blue” and “hopefully-forever red” states, campaigning for our side must take on the characteristics of medical triage.

That is to say, there are some states that are “dead to us”, regardless.
There are other states that will “live” for us (vote Republican), regardless.
And there is a third group of states — most of which we MUST go to our side, in order to win the election. If victory is to be achieved, winning this last group becomes all-important.

In such an environment, it makes most sense to husband nearly all our resources towards this third group, because without them, we lose.

The “blue states”, being unwinnable, should receive only those resources directed towards non-presidential candidates who have a chance at winning in their districts/localities.

The “red states”, again, should get a requisite amount of support (on the presidential campaign level) to make it appear that we are concerned about them, again, with emphasis on non-presidential candidates.

Throw the lion’s share of advertising at the “must-wins”.
We must keep them “alive” to have a hope of winning.

Any who claim that are willfully blind, deaf and dumb.

So which part of Romney's pro-homo, mandate-loving, big government, gun-grabbing, tax-hiking, abortion-supporting record are you disputing?

The primary is over. Get on board the Romney train or you are supporting Obama whether you mean to or not.

Timber Rattler I have long suspected you of being a troll sent to FR to sow discord and to demoralize conservatives. That opinion is unchanged with posts such as these.

We have one choice, period, - Obama or Romney. Which is it?

I want Romney to disavow socialism, or I can’t support him. I’ll not support either socialist for President, thank you.

Somewhere, sometime, everyone has to draw the line at what they’ll do. I won’t vote for a Socialist. You are welcome to do so.

Wrong. I refuse to enable the GOP-E, and will be either voting for Virgil Goode or writing in Sarah Palin's name.

Romney and the GOP-E can go to hell!

A second term Obama will be much worse than the first term Obama.
