So the ad says nothing about Romney himself; just that he's not Obama. We saw how the "not-Bush" campaign worked in '04...

What? The Romney campaign did something disingenuous? Shocking.

I don't see the big deal. there are plenty of people for whom these situations are real. It's not like Romney made up the recession.

It is a big deal when the main focus of your campaign ad is saying he is suffering due to the economy, but he actually has a pretty decent job and is doing fine.

If you are going to make an ad like that, you can't use people who aren't telling the truth. It doesn't say anything about integrity at all.

interesting that Democrats now think that just because you have a job means you're not struggling.

The person in the ad claimed that he didn't have a job when he did, which is lying.

How is it different from campaign ads that use regular actors?

He said he only had 3 dollars to his name until his next paycheck. I think most people would assume that meant he had a low paying job.

Apparently Shua was the only one who actually watched the video?

I guess it's kind of unsavory, but I thought they were actors to begin with.
