Once around the New Hampshire airwaves, James, and don’t spare the horses.
• Mitt Romney’s American Optimism
This is Mitt as good cop, doing the “I See An America” thing. Meanwhile, Romney’s bad cop, the Restore Our Future Super PAC, runs this ad in the New Hampshire Union Leader (via Politico):
The hardworking staff sees an America where Pres. Mitt Romney has all sorts of gunsels to do his dirty work.
• Mitt Romney, Vulture Capitalist
The George Sorosly funded MoveOn.org is running this ad in New Hampshire to take the bloom off the Mitt:
See: Ted Kennedy playbook, circa 1994.
• Jon Huntsman Is Someone
Our Destiny PAC, the front group established by Jon Huntsman’s father, is currently running a :30 version of this TV spot in New Hampshire:
“Why haven’t we heard of this guy” you ask? Why hasn’t he told us about himself loud enough to be heard?
• Huntsman: We’re Getting Screwed
Of course, Jon Huntsman is not just Daddy’s best boy – he’s also his own man, and here’s the ad to prove it:
Hey – can a Mormon really say “screwed”? Isn’t that sort of linguistic caffeine? And if we’re gonna have a Mormon president, wouldn’t you prefer one who says H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks when he gets lathered up?
(This has been an unpaid political message from Mitt Romney.)
• Newt Gingrich Goes Timid
The New Hampshire TV spot from Peggy Noonan’s angry little attack muffin:
Romney’s timid? Gingrich is downright lame.
More, inevitably, to come.
See: Ted Kennedy playbook, circa 1994

Thanks, Bob. New to me. (Does that make me other-worldly?)
