55. People who believe MSNBC is more partisan than other sources

It is about INFLUENCE.

If you saw a pro-Romney ad and the "evidence" for Romney's position was quotes from O'Reilly and Gingrich, how influenced would you be?

If anything you would be influenced more AGAINST Romney.

Straight up. This ad will not win over a single person we need to reach and it very definitely could push some people away.

It is so unnecessary. There are other ways to present this material more powerfully that don't have the MSNBC problem.

We don't need to be wasting any time on money on ads that just preach to the choir.
