    Watch campaign ads in the 2012 presidential campaign and track campaign ad spending by candidates and interest groups. Super interesting site, I didn't know Romney was spending THAT much on ads (more than all the other candidates combined), it's crazy! Plus, if anyone still couldn't find ads for the position papers, there are plenty here, enjoy!

    I looked into Romney's ads, and when you see his campaign strategy, it's not too surprising. He has made ads targeted at individual states (new hampshire, missouri) and is attacking candidates left and right (mainly Santorum and Obama). These are distinct from the general platform ads he has running on TV.

    I can't believe his campaign actually produced this. AND the video we saw is only PART of a series titled "Obamaville" that will be available on his website. He is certifiably crazy. And his campaign manager must be on crack.

    Mmm creating a series of ads against an opposing candidate as opposed to having one focused on the candidate himself... Not sure if it's a great idea

    This video is a debate over the effects of Super PACs on the presidential race, negative ads and their impacts on candidate image (both attacker and attacked) and whether politics is financially driven or merit-based.

    "Here's the buzzed-about anti-Obama political ad in which Barack Obama's oppressive coolness is exposed. There's a lot about this strategy I don't understand. Is being cool a problem when you're a president? Does this ad make Obama's fans like him any less? Could Mitt Romney ever pull off Al Green?"

    A super PAC supporting Rick Santorum announced Thursday that it bought $310,000 in ads in Illinois in advance of that state's primary next week. The target: Mitt Romney. Santorum racked up a pair of wins earlier this week in Mississippi and Alabama, but trails far behind Romney in the delegate count.

    I am not sure if I am more amused or scared about this increasing tendency to build momentum towards a war on Iran... I mean you guys could campaign, sure! But why Iran? Again? Seriously?!

    wow
  • Daniel Bou Diab on 26 Mar 12
     
    I understand that it is a bit exaggerated but obama will indeed grow much more radical in which case he's re-elected. I'd love to see the look on the faces of democrats after a second obama term, but hopefully he won't see another term. Unless of course Santorum wins the nomination.

    Daniel you're such a rightist in all your positions about absolutely everything. Gotta admire the consistency...

    Of course I am! And thanks! :)

    you guys, it was like santorum took control of my computer! i couldn't even pause the video to continue on my rampage against him. did you notice at :32 when the creepy voice says, "and the residents of THIS town must come to grips with the harsh reality that a rogue nation and swarn american enemy, has become a nuclear threat." the OBSESSION with iran has to stop, it's getting a little out of hand. santorum is using propaganda (at it's absolute worst!) to rally the americans into another war with another invisible enemy. jesus. i cannot see any more santorum news, it'll make me sick.
  • zeina ammar on 27 Mar 12
     
    Dina 100% with you. Which is why, Daniel (oh Daniel!) we REALLY need to talk. I need to hear your arguments one by one. Not in class of course but find a way because your convictions are so strong that they terrify me. I have so many questions for you.
  • Daniel Bou Diab on 27 Mar 12
     
    I hate Santorum and I do not support him, but for you to call Iran an American obsession is very interesting. Iran now trains terrorists in full-fledged camps in Venezuela, and deals with drug cartels in Mexico which have access to American soil, and it's still an "obsession" to you? Let's not go too far, stay here in Lebanon and look at your situation, do you really approve of Iran's gradual encroachment on your historical home as a member of a minority? Or perhaps you will awaken when alcohol and clubbing among other things are no longer allowed in Lebanon? It's called way of life and it is such a shame to see the liberal media succeed in alienating those who defend our way of life. Zeina my convictions aren't meant to terrify you, they're meant to terrify those determined leftists or anything/anyone ultimately contributing to the curbing of my freedom or the changing of my identity. They should know that there is and will always be a hard wall they will hit other than reality.
  • Brittany Frye on 28 Mar 12
     
    "obama will indeed grow much more radical in which case he's re-elected" I HOPE he becomes more "radical" in his second term when he no longer has to worry about getting reelected. He has been way too soft on certain controversial issues (i.e. healthcare reform). For instance, some speculate that he may legalize gay marriage or alter U.S. policy towards Israel once reelected.
  • zeina ammar on 28 Mar 12
     
    These speculations are not to his advantage though, are they? I mean gay marriage sure whatever I'm guessing all Democrats (and sane people) agree on that but Israel policy? That will cost him.
  • Dina Azar on 28 Mar 12
     
    i just wanted to share this: John Brabender, a senior advisor to Santorum, told CNN the campaign has no plans to purchase airtime for the video. don't worry daniel, i'll be getting back to your condescending comment in a moment.
  • Daniel Bou Diab on 28 Mar 12
     
    Well for you this is a dream come true but for me it's a nightmare. "Too soft"? You call gradually turning America into a socialist country "too soft"? 99 weeks of unemployment benefits is not "too soft". The EPA having enough power to enforce a freaking dust limit just because of nine migratory birds is not "too soft". VETOING the Keystone Pipeline is not "too soft". I could go on, but then again, things like that actually please liberals. I don't like to emphasize gay marriage a lot since I'm indifferent to it but don't prefer it. But to think that the he'll change US policy towards Israel, especially at this critical time, is a nightmare that even Santorum ad's can't express. Republicans, and Conservatives in general, are the sane people, but look at history, people who turned out to be right were always at first alienated and made to look stupid. No hard feelings.

    Dude I'm sorry if I made you feel like you were under attack. I respect your opinion. I really would've liked to have this conversation elsewhere so that I don't spam everyone's inbox. My main concern is not that you have these opinions but that you refuse to question them. You seem so certain about everything. I myself change positions on the same subject 100 times before settling on one opinion and I've learned to do that thanks to people around me who keep challenging me. And I wanted to hear your arguments precisely to reconsider my positions once again. PS: sorry about the word "sane" I had no right to say it like that and I certainly wasn't directing it against you. Peace, Love & Such Positive Vibes *_*
  • Daniel Bou Diab on 28 Mar 12
     
    haha you have no idea what I had to go through to arrive at these conclusions. Self-doubt, head splitting pondering, constant self-criticism, etc. But as you said it always helps to be challenged, it reveals flaws. I'm glad that you made me think hard about what to say. No need to worry I considered this a strictly political debate from the start and I'm also sorry if I said something messed up. Peace.

    I think the interesting question is, who is responsible for this? Could this be Obama firing back at Santorum's Obamaville ad?

    Actually Dina, Abraham Lincoln had a similar quote that said something like if you call a dog's tail a leg, how many legs does it have? Four, because calling the dog's tail a leg doesn't make it a leg... :p just sayin'

    PHOENIX, February 3, 2012- Mitt Romney's win in Florida didn't happen because the voters felt at heart with Romney's message and past, but rather the negative onslaught of campaign ads run by the Romney campaign and its allies against Newt Gingrich.
