Mitt Romney 'genuinely cares'
Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 10:09 YouTube/Screenshot This ad from Crossroads GPS features Iraq War veteran Peter Damon veteran benefited from Romney's help. Mitt Romney hasn't talked much about his charitable work in public, and with outside spending focused on attack ads, even Republicans have been concerned that the GOP presidential nominee appears too aloof. Two new ads from outside spenders are hoping to change that. “ Genuinely Cares ” from the pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future and “ Mitt and David ” from the conservative nonprofit Crossroads GPS tell the stories of two individuals who received support from Romney. They are a sharp departure from both groups’ standard attack ads. Restore Our Future has spent a little more than $99 million thus far this election, with 86 percent going toward negative advertising and other campaign materials. “Genuinely Cares” features Army National Guard Sgt. Peter Damon, an Iraq War veteran, telling about how Gov. Romney ...

The "spring break" president?
Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 09:30 YouTube/Screenshot Obama is accused of spending too much time on frivolous activities in a new attack ad from a tea party group. “It’s time to put the adults back in charge,” says the narrator of a new attack ad from a conservative political action committee. “Sometimes Barack Obama seems to confuse being president with being on spring break,” he continues. “It’s time to retire the beer-summit, spring-break presidency.” The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama released this new advertisement just after the end second presidential debate Tuesday night, which saw Obama continue his campaign’s theme of painting GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney as out-of-touch and elitist. The ad takes the out-of-touch theme and turns it against Obama. The PAC’s ad notes that Obama has played more than 100 rounds of golf during his tenure. It also features clips of his “slow jamming the news” on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and other ...

Super PAC quarterly report sheds light on donors
Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - 09:32 Win McNamee/Getty Images Super PACs reported their donors and funds raised for the third quarter Monday. A new batch of super PAC donor information arrived at the Federal Election Commission Monday, and among the top contributors was the nonprofit Americans for Limited Government, profiled by the Daily Disclosure on Monday after the organization released a Web video implying that Vice President Joe Biden was on drugs during last week’s vice presidential debate. Americans for Limited Government gave 86 percent of the $1.7 million received by Now or Never PAC , which has spent most of its money opposing the candidacy of Democrat Tammy Duckworth. Duckworth is running for U.S. House in Illinois’ 8th District. Super PACs report donors to the FEC monthly or quarterly. Super PACs that file quarterly are generally less well-known. For example, Restore Our Future , which favors Mitt Romney, brought in $9.4 million in August alone. American Bridge ...

Ads quick to criticize after VP debate
Friday, October 12, 2012 - 09:13 Saul Loeb/AFP Ads released hours after the vice presidential debate hit Biden for grinning too much and Ryan for bending the facts. Last night’s debate between Vice President Joe Biden and GOP vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan has already produced at least two ads from outside spenders criticizing both the style and substance of the debate. American Bridge 21st Century , a liberal super PAC, released a web video called “ VP Debate Fact Check ,” which takes issue with many of Ryan’s statements. The Republican National Committee responded to the debate with “ Laughing at the Issues ,” portraying Biden as not serious about the country’s problems. The debate, which was feistier and livelier than the first presidential debate, saw Biden laughing and sometimes shaking his head at Ryan, of Wisconsin, argued his points. Biden was particularly aggressive in calling Ryan out when he seemed to bend the facts. Republicans, as seen in the RNC ...

Unions triple-team Allen in Virginia
Thursday, October 11, 2012 - 09:36 YouTube/Screenshot SEIU, AFSCME and the National Education Association teamed up to produce this ad opposing U.S. Senate candidate George Allen, a Republican. Three labor unions have teamed up to try to thwart the election prospects of former Sen. George Allen, the Republican running for U.S. Senate in Virginia. The political action committees of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the Service Employees International Union and the National Education Association launched “ Better ” on Wednesday, attacking Allen on Medicare and women’s health. “That’s George Allen,” the narrators say. “Cuts Medicare. Reduces care for women. More power for insurance companies.” Allen supports vice presidential nominee and Republican Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget, which proposes a voucher-type system for Medicare that Democrats argue would result in deep cuts. When speaking of women’s health, the ad refers to Allen’s support of ...
