This is Restor Our Future's ad about Mitt Romney helping save a missing girl:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5WI1FrUNzA

Seriously?  I mean - it's nice that Romney did that, but what does this have anything to do with running for President?  This has to be one of the dumbest ads I've seen this campaign season (there was another Romney ad that I didn't like, but I can't remember what it was now).

Well, you can thank your party's Supreme Court members for these super PACs.

As for the actual ad, gee Romney cares about not only himself but also his business partner. What a great guy!

The idea is to show the voters Romney's human side.

"Mitt, my daughter's missing. Could you help me find her?"

"Intalizing sympathy.exe. I am of assistance in locating the adolescent female."

"Thanks Mitt."

"Sympathy.exe has stopped working. You can refresh or try again later."

Romney as a leader who takes charge and saves the day. Yeah, what a terrible ad.

"Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard. . . But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."
- Justice Robert Jackson WV SBE v Barnette

Are you implying this was human emotion?

I think it's a great ad. Most of the complaints about Romney involve his personal character, not his policies. I'd actually say his stances are a better match for the electorate than Obama's. So if they can rehabilitate Romney's image, great. Stuff like this is how they'll do it.

Yeah, that's an awful ad. SuperPACs are terrible - thanks Supreme Court!

Also, one of the comments is great -

When the Chicana custodian's daughter went missing, it was because Romney had had her deported.
