Good idea for thread.

I think only the Ron Paul ads above are actual TV ads. They fit TV times and have the "I'm Ron Paul..." thing. The others I think are just web ads. Maybe we should distinguish between TV and web?

And I assume outside groups should be put here too. Here is a TV ad running in the states Obama is visiting from American Crossroads (attacking Obama)

Herman Cain out with a new ad (saying McCain, Giuliani, Romney, Perry are fake Republicans):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHv3qSmRaiU

That is just a web ad and it is actually an outside Super PAC supporting Cain called Americans For Cain

Looking at the Cain ads combined with some of the things he says and his lack of a campaign staff...I am starting to think that America is being punked. We are all part of some strange reality show, possibly run by aliens

I feel like that was totally taken out of context; as if he said "I won't let Detroit go bankrupt".

Romney's SuperPAC on the air in IA with ad going after Gingrich and Perry

http://youtu.be/lBg8OtR74qM

This is the first time they have gone after Perry. So far they had exclusively targeted Gingrich So their polling probably shows that Perry is rebounding to some extent

That ad is exactly like the one he did touting his ties in NH, driving around the state
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fg3EAdGLDhU

I look forward to his "driving around my home state" ads coming up in MA, UT and CA

While Romney is out accusing Santorum of running a negative campaign and saying he is only running positive stuff (ignoring his SuperPac), it turns out he is running a negative anti-Santorum "contrast" ad in MI (but they never released it to the press and it isn't on their YouTube channel)

possibly the worst ad of the entire campaign. People dont like to read their commercials. They are barely paying attention. Just use the soundbites or get a narrator. Its not rocket science.

To save you 17 minutes I can summarize:
"Hey America. I know you have the attention span of a gnat, but remember 2008 and 2009? It was an economic sh-tstorm. Finally things are getting better, do you really want to go back to that again? Oh and I killed Bin Laden....Obama Biden 2012!"

The message here I guess is, if you want to run for president one day, don't endorse anyone unless you are certain they will never run again

Obama 30 sec TV spot goes after Romney tax plan and ties in his personal taxes.
Note how they have a shot of Romney standing next to Trump's plane (best they can do as Romney refuses to allow cameras around when he met with THe DOnald)

Obama ads saying Romney is going to raise taxes on middle class to fund tax cuts for millionaires
http://youtu.be/ngiGVOy9g-0

This seems to be Obama's answer to the welfare  and medicare ads in which the Romney campaign accuse Obama of stealing money from the middle class to give to those other (read poor, maybe black) people.

So the message to the low information middle class voter in this election - either way, you're screwed

Koch Bros. dropping 6.2 million on 60 sec ad saying that Obama is making US healthcare like Canada's...which almost killed this nice lady
http://youtu.be/x8JRZDVq-Ho

Americans for Prosperity also has this ad featuring disappointing Obama voter (female)
http://youtu.be/kgZkPXR5Tro

Both ads seem aimed at white women...the key Romney target
