Here is a new Mitt Romney ad that builds on his previous “Day One” ad. It continues with what a Mitt Romney President would be like – Day One – Part Two.”

- President Romney announces Deficit Reductions ending the Obama-era of Big Government.

- President Romney stands up to China on trade and demands they play by the rules.

- President Romney begins repealing job-killing regulations.

Short, specific, positive. Romney needs to keep rolling these ads out, flooding the airwaves in key states with this agenda. It will have an impact because it is such a contrast to the floundering agenda of Barack Obama.

Here is video of Gov. Mitt Romney in a interview today with Time’s Mark Halperin where he framed the 2012 Presidential Election on the failed record of President Barack Obama. He described Obama as a man who “spends his time blaming other people for the fact that he has been unsuccessful at turning around this economy.”

Here is video of Fox News’ James Rosen explaining Gov. Mitt Romney’s “3-2-1 Strategy” for Electoral Victory in November.

This strategy says Romney must win all the states John McCain won in 2008, AND:

Three - Take back traditional GOP States Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina.

Two - Win traditional battleground states Ohio and Florida.

One - Win one of eight states to get to 270: Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.

Despite Barack Obama’s many attempts to distract from his own failed record, and the disastrous “Obama Economy,” the American people remember what the 2012 Election is all about. This is likely a new line of Romney ads: “Stories from the Obama Economy.”

This is the way to respond to the ridiculous Bain Capital attacks.

Wow! What a great ad. The perfect response to Obama’s continuing attack on Mitt Romney’s job-creating work at Bain Capital. The Romney Campaign is turning the attack back on Obama as an attack on “Free Enterprise.”

And who is the star of this new Romney ad? None other than Democrat Mayor Cory Booker, who yesterday blasted the Obama attack on Bain (before he walked it back last night in what is being called the “hostage video.”)

More evidence, this time from Left-leaning Politico, that it looks like the Mitt Romney Campaign is going to have at least an even-playing field when it comes to money against Barack Obama:

POLITICO: . . . In all this cycle, super PACs, committees and the campaign supporting Romney have outraised Obama and his backers $402 million to $340 million — an analysis of federal records and voluntary disclosures by POLITICO shows.

Romney’s fundraising spiked in April as his rivals for the nomination stepped aside, allowing him to join forces with the Republican National Committee to accept exponentially bigger checks. His big donors responded, suggesting his fundraising could be about to take off.

Meanwhile, Federal Election Commission reports filed Sunday show that Obama’s fundraising dipped last month, as key groups of big Democratic donors remained unenthusiastic.

The takeaway: Romney won’t be outspent by Obama like John McCain was in 2008 — and the former Massachusetts governor might even end up with a financial advantage over the president.

Romney’s real strength lies in the big outside money game. His allies have built an enormous advantage that Democrats fear could make the difference in the race. . . . Read More

If Obama wins re-election, as he certainly still could since nearly half the country is dependent on the Federal Government in some way, he will have to do it this time with much lower enthusiasm for his candidacy, and now, it appears, without his customary gigantic money advantage:

WASHINGTON POST – Chris Cillizza: “. . . What’s abundantly clear is that Obama won’t have the massive fundraising gap over Romney that he enjoyed in the 2008 contest against Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

In that race, Obama raised an astonishing $771 million while McCain brought in $239 million — a total that included roughly $85 million in public financing funds for the general election. (Obama opted out of public financing.) For you non-math majors out there, that means Obama collected (and spent) three times as much money as McCain, a huge gap that almost certainly put the Democrat over the top in places such as Indiana and North Carolina and cushioned his margins in other swing states such as Florida and Ohio.

There is a zero percent chance that Romney will follow McCain’s lead and take public financing. And even though he has spent most of this election cycle running in a competitive and splintered GOP primary, Romney raised almost $100 million through April. . . .

Add it all up — and throw in a pledge from the leading conservative super PAC to spend better than $200 million— and it becomes possible that Obama, the single greatest fundraiser in the history of American politics, might get outraised (and outspent) between now and Nov. 6. . . .

“It is entirely possible that Romney and the RNC could outraise the president and the DNC,” acknowledged Steve Rosenthal, a veteran labor strategist. “When you add to that the avalanche of money pouring into the right-wing super PACs, and the fact that polls are already showing a close race in most of the battleground states, it creates a troublesome scenario. . . .
