Pro-Santorum Super PAC Rolls Out New Ad, Stays Positive
EmailNOVI, Michigan—The super PAC ad wars are now raging in Michigan.
The pro-Santorum super PAC released a new ad that will be running in this state for the next five days. It enters rotation Thursday evening and it is a mostly positive commercial touting Santorum’s anti-abortion rights record, calling him a “champion for life,” and saying he will create jobs and “cut wasteful spending.”
It doesn’t mention his GOP rivals except at the beginning when, over photos of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, the voiceover says, “Obama’s reckless agenda must be stopped and there is only one principled candidate with the courage to do it.” It does not mention any other candidate by name.
Earlier Thursday, the “Red, White, and Blue Fund” announced they had purchased roughly $663,000 of television airtime in the state ahead of the Feb. 28 primary to try and blunt the buy made by both the Romney campaign and his super PAC, “Restore Our Future.”
Romney’s super PAC has been running ads here since late January and the group and the campaign have spent more than $1.6 million on the airwaves, while the Santorum campaign itself has only bought about $41,000 worth of advertising.
The Red, White, and Blue Fund’s new ad, titled “Bold Plan,” is notably positive in contrast to Restore Our Future’s ads.
One called “Risk” targets Gingrich, accusing him of having “tons of baggage.” Another focuses on Santorum, calling him a “big spender” and “Washington insider.”

Does anyone seriously think that the voter-influencing polling organizations are not controlled by the same ultra-liberals that own, and/or control, the nation’s other voter-influencing institutions, internet, and media?
Have you noticed how the polls have shown the candidates almost neck & neck, days before the caucuses & primaries (to keep from showing Romney’s lead, most likely) and then, almost magically, Romney would be shown rising in the polls just a couple of days before the event (evidently, to maintain our belief that the polls are reliable)?
Since the last person Obama wants to run against is said to be Romney — is anyone willing to believe the polls are not skewed to show Santorum in the lead, and will somehow, magically move up to show Romney’s lead, a few days before the Michigan primary? Could this be because they want to run against Santorum rather than Romney, because they think he is the easier to defeat?
