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.

Enough still do get their news from the MSM in print/video/audio form. You can’t write it off. While it’s effect is diminished it is not zeroed out.

I wonder if your average middle of road voter is starting to get numbed by all the times the media has decided the election is over.

Aren’t the early voters the ones who have already decided on who they are voting for ?

I think Romney is just letting Obama lengthen his own rope. Letting every action and word speak for itself, so when it is the debate, Romney can use everything Obama has done speak for itself.

Uggghhhhh....

Is that photoshopped or did it actually happen at a UN/Socialist get-together?

Has the Romney campaign heard birds chirping from a certain ME country that would like to see a President Romney?

Yes, indeed, October could be quite interesting and the Opology camp has to be wondering if all of their secrets are really secret.

If he does that in this election, he will have blown it. People start voting in the next few weeks. A significant number of ballots will have already been cast before he uncorks this "surprise."

All true - but these ads won't be aimed at solid Obama or Romney voters (who will likely vote early), but at the undecideds. Undecideds generally don't vote early, but wait until the last minute (i.e. election day) in order to see if something tips them one way or the other.

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

Yes. Someone who has been extremely successful in the business world sounds like just the person we need to get us out of our fiscal and economic doldrums. Unlike the folks beholden to the current political correctness, I recognize that success should be admired, not admonished. Good job, Mitt. Now, apply what you learned and help us make the country prosper.

I love this picture since it reminds me of Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker kissing each other. And also a form of mocking them as well.

October surprise: Romney will endorse Obama and will replace Biden as VP.

I’m not fond of Romney’s politics (what he actually believes and does when he’s not running for office). I’m not fond of his personality (the way he acts when he is not talking politics while campaigning). I’m not fond of anything about him - except that he is not Obama. Obama is by a huge margin the worst person to set foot in our White House in history, and the 2008 election outcome is the worst thing to happen to our country in recorded history. Romney is not Obama, and if Romney has enough money to run variants of that theme continuously, I can see how that would be convincing. If he will throw in some Obama quotes about spreading the wealth around, about clinging to God and to gun, and about what we didn’t build, then Romney may have something here. But it’s time. Get those ads rolling!

I have been. I am going to attend our monthly county meeting tonight. You are missing the point. Early voting starts in 32 states. Here is the early voting calendar. It has already started in Idaho, Vermont, and SD. It starts in Ohio on October 2.

Shock and awe are fine, but like so much in this life, timing is everything. Many votes may already be cast before the shock and awe start.

Ain’t ‘shopped.

Big ol’ wet one right on the lips...maybe a *little* tongue..who knows?

Bammy’s got his eyes closed dreamily like a girl at her sophomore prom.

LOL
