New Romney Super PAC ad: “Olympics”
posted at 6:41 pm on July 30, 2012 by Allahpundit
Straightforward but really solid. As Guy Benson says, this one’s hitting on all cylinders: Timely, upbeat, keyed to Mitt’s core strength as a manager, and with a national security subplot to boot. Plus, the Olympics is the one part of his resume that everyone can relate to. He won’t talk much about his term as governor because he doesn’t want any RomneyCare headaches, and he can’t talk much about his time at Bain because (a) many voters don’t understand what private equity does and (b) he’s being demagogued every which way but loose by Team O for it. But everyone gets the storyline here: Shambolic Salt Lake games salvaged by a whiz who knows how to make a fat, creaking bureaucracy shape up. My only real criticism is that there are now less than 100 days to go before polls open and I feel like this is the first time we’re getting an affirmative reason to vote for him. Am I wrong about that? Was there some other effective positive ad by Team Romney or the Super PAC that I’m overlooking? Until now, every spot might as well have ended with, “Four more years? Seriously?” Which, admittedly, would be a pretty solid slogan.
Two ads for you, one the Olympics spot and the other also a very effective ad from Romney’s campaign, albeit with a sharply different tone.

Now there’s a dusty old name…I haven’t seen that sketch for at least ten years. Still remember it was funny!

Cheers:)
There is some amazing irony in your commentary – someone who sounds remarkably like a spoiled child calling me “juvenile” and “deliberately obtuse” for not being able to make sense of your delusional fantasies. I’ll have to leave it to others to make sense of your blatherings – which begin with the false premise- that the narcissistic Marxist grifter Obama and Romney are like ideological fraternal twins. It then wanders off into something I can’t comprehend. I gather it has something to do with being pissed off that Sarah Palin didn’t run as a third party Tea Party candidate, and thus being left with no choice but to stomp your foot, pick up your ball, and stay home? Or maybe you had Ron Paul in mind? Who the hell knows. I’m not going to waste any more time trying to make sense of your nonsensical ‘analysis’.

Romney did not rise to the occasion in the election, so why expect him to do so here?

He lost by 3%, not a blow out, but a loss is a loss. He is a good and accomplished man who would have been a far better president than Obama who had no real accomplishments before his political life began. Romney isn’t a conservative and maybe that is why he lost but he is a respectable and humble man.

He should be sorry he lost because he passed on the opportunity to unseat the Liar of Benghazi (oh, yes, where is that report now? What has the admnistration discovered?).
In a sense, this lack of political judgment disqualified him. We should have known not to nominate a person unable to beat McCain.
