Priorities USA has launched the first salvo in the battle to hang Mitt Romney's remarks at a Florida fundraiser around his neck in the last 6 weeks of this election.
Lots to like in this ad, including how they have tied in the policy details about how Mitt actually wants working class families to pay more in taxes while millionaires get tax cuts.
The way they edited the Mitt clip, it really gets at the idea that "this guy disdains you, and he doesn't even understand your life."
There are so many different directions that Priorities could have gone with this video controversy, I'm curious what Kossacks think about how this turned out.
I, for one, say: let it be the first of many.
