The Santorum snap
By Stephen Fountain, EditorFiled Under Media Clips and Issues, Race for White House 2012 on Mar 23
Rick Santorum has come out with an endorsement of Barack Obama, if the other choice is Mitt Romney. Is this the beginning of the end? Are the campaign pressures getting to Rick or is he right?

The Emergency Committee for Israel has released a trailer for the soon to be released 30 minutes video: Daylight: The Story of Obama and Israel.
According to Josh Rogin (Foreign Policy, The Washington Post) the video “cuts together clips of Obama quotes and outside commentary to put forth the narrative that Obama has made statements and taken actions as president that have put him out of step with the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his supporters.”
Will this deepen the crack in Obama’s DNC-Jewish voter alliance?

Newt’s PAC has released their Romney hit piece: “When Mitt Romney Came To Town.” Will it be Armageddon? Or is this just more political back in forth?

Cain explains 9-9-9 to the masses….finally
By Scott A. Robinson, EditorFiled Under Media Clips and Issues on Nov 28
Herman Cain should have released this video back when he was in first place in most polls. It is a great, simple explanation of 9-9-9. Well, other than when the narrator mentioned the “marginal cost of production”.
Call me crazy, but maybe Cain should have had his team focusing on explaining his hallmark 9-9-9 in a video like this rather than recording Mark Block smoking.
Cain supporters will cry bias, but clearly this clip deserves its own post. PD would love to hear from Cainiacs spin this.
Cain on Kimmel
By Stephen Fountain, EditorFiled Under Media Clips and Issues, Race for White House 2012 on Nov 8
On Monday, Herman Cain made light of the most recent harassment allegations against him on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. I’m pretty sure this tact does not adhere to the Karl Rove School of Crisis Management. Cain doesn’t have the appearance of a defeated man. Didn’t he get the memo?
Ron Paul isn’t quite as effective in this ad as he is in this video, but let’s rate this ad regardless.
Also, did you catch who speaks at 0:36?

Cain turns off his brain
By Jason Wright, EditorFiled Under Media Clips and Issues, Race for White House 2012 on Sep 29
Brainwashed? Really Cain? This video might as well be called, “Not ready for prime time.”
Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) might think twice before agreeing to another appearance on MSNBC. What’s to be gained from discussing issues with an interviewer whose mind is the political equivalent of a black hole? Credit Fleming for trying, but he must realize that MSNBC is nothing more than an outlet for left-wing activism.
MSNBC’s Chris Jansing scolded Rep. Fleming for opposing Democrat tax policy. Jansing asked Fleming to explain his own high income — his business interests gross $6 million annually — but paid no attention to his answer. Fleming took more than his “fair share” and that’s all that mattered. The condescending Jansing continued to prod Rep. Fleming:
You do understand, congressman, that the average person out there who’s making maybe 40, 50, $60,000 out there, when they hear you only have $400,000 left over, it’s not exactly a sympathetic position. You understand that? Read more
As is often the case, losing candidates appear much more comfortable and at ease after the pressure of the race is gone. If he’d been this likable before, maybe he could have moved from 1% to 2%.
But shooting sparks? Really Tim?
We haven’t talked much about how Huntsman and his aides have evidently decided to ratchet up the rhetoric. It’s too early to tell whether it will give him any lift in the polls, but it sure has attracted MSM attention. It’s also attracted some love from the DNC:
Ads like this are usually very effective, nothing like using a man’s own words against him. The problem, of course, is they think we should find this unusual.
BREAKING NEWS: HUNTSMAN DOESN’T LIKE ROMNEY, PERRY, ETC.
BREAKING NEWS: HUNTSMAN THINKS HE WOULD BE A BETTER PRESIDENT
BREAKING NEWS: HUNTSMAN CAN USE CHOPSTICKS WITHOUT THE LITTLE PLASTIC HELPER PIECE
Surely the DNC remembers the shots Obama, Hillary and Edwards took at one another four years ago, right? This is politics, people. When Huntsman drops out, which he will eventually, he’ll call the remaining horses, thank them for running noble campaigns, and then line up behind one of them with an endorsement. That’s how it’s done.
