11. I appreciate you posting those ads...

....and I do think those ads are just fine.

However, the original point of my post in this thread--and in the threads that you criticized---was this:

The most effective ad would be Romney's words in the debate--juxtaposed against ROMNEY'S OWN WORDS from his campaign.

That's all I want. Romney lying in the debate--then cut to film of Romney saying the opposite on the campaign triail.

It's simple. It's effective. It's my opinion about what would be most effective. You may disagree.

Again, I appreciate the ads, but every single one of those ads does this: Uses Romney's words---then cuts to a reporter or a quote from someone else---that counters what Romney says or reveals Romney's words as lies. YES, that is ok. It's an honest effort.

I guess I'm just a bit more granular in my analysis--as I have 15 years experience in pubic relations/media relations.

I have a very specific idea about what would work best, and if Obama was my client Romney on Romney is the approach that I would advise.

And if the campaign showed me the slew of ads that you just posted, I would say, "Great. A terrific start. But let's show Romney lying in the debate, then immediately cut to Romney saying the opposite on the campaign trail. Let Romney make a liar out of himself. Why use a third-party, such as a reporter or a think tank--to SAY that Romney is a liar--when we can SHOW that Romney is a liar with his own words."

That's my 2 cents. No charge.
