(62,683 posts)easy to just click through and get the whole story. They were wise to do it this way instead of a big, long, explanation!
The spot and the site are powerful!

(57,936 posts)People speaking from their hearts about what Romney and his buddies did to them. That is compelling!
On edit -- The Republicans will scream and tear their hair over this one. The fact that the video exists will become the story.
Their screams will do them more harm than the video because the more they scream, the more people will choose to watch and pay attention to the video.
The truth hurts, and this story and these people are the truth
-- and what's most important, they sound and look as true as they are. Everybody in middle America know those people.
Mitt Romney and his Republican friends don't know them and never will.

(13,570 posts)It amplifies the narrative that RoMONEY is UNLIKEABLE, UNTRUSTWORTHY, and a HEARTLESS CORPORATE TOADIE. So it is a great sustainable line of attack that they must continue on to election day over and over and over again. It is great because it uses MIDDLE CLASS BLUE COLLAR WHITE MALES who are REAL people and very sincere. This is a constituency with which we need to make futher inroads. The script is great and REAL. The graphics are REAL and very hard-hitting. It makes the viewer angry. These victims look and sound like ANY American we might have in our family. It evokes emotion on a very GUT level.
Very importantly, it destroys RoMONEY's credibility on the economy and reinforces Obama's CREDENTIALS and value differences on their approaches to the economy. The economy is what Mitt is trying to tout as his strong suit. This ATTACKS HIS CREDIBILITY on his number one selling point. IT IS A BRILLIANT AD !
They should make 60-second and 30-second versions and run it EVERYWHERE and ENDLESSLY.
