(4,835 posts)Don't get me wrong; it's pretty well done, but it starts by showing Romney's statement in the first debate about tax benefits for moving jobs overseas.
It never really ties back into that. They aren't getting tax benefits for shipping the jobs overseas; the reduced wages give them more profit.
It's a good story, but the video isn't the kind of thing that I would expect to be persuasive to conservative leaning voters.
There are quite a few folks talking about how their lives were ruined by outsourcing and while I hate to see that happen; the conservatives I know could give a shit less until it happens to them.
In my experience in dealing with conservative voters; if you put that clip at the beginning of Romney in the debate and don't come back to it. That's all you'll hear about. Most won't even watch it, but they will refer to it as the 'sensata video' and say that it was refuted.
That's just my experience; so watch for it to turn out that way. I hope it does get some MSM coverage because the information is damaging to Romney, the presentation just isn't quite there IMHO.
