Local, regional, national - what election commercials have caught your fancy… or ire?
Pro Obama:
[Stage - YouTube](http://youtu.be/oLo0Jwj03JU) (Romney buys a paper plant, has workers build a stage for Bain Capital execs, only to use that stage to mass-fire the entire workforce).
[47 percent - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUQ-j2sOA7c) (47% commercial)
[Since When - Obama for America TV Ad - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kweMVAHE6vA) (“Since When” (Romney/China))

I saw this [earlier today](http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/10/mitt-romneys-unfortunate-trip-down-memory-lane), which is kind of a headscratcher. A scene from a pro-Romney ad really looks like it was meant to recall the video of him making his 47% comment.
Kind of hard to figure out why they’d do that, but on the other hand I have trouble seeing the similarity as a coincidence.
(also, regarding the actual ad, its sort of funny that Romney is campaigning on raising taxes on millionaires)

Here’s a good one (for Obama). Not really an ad, but effective…

[[actually.org](http://actually.org/#rosie)]Rosie Perez laughs her ass off]([actually.org](http://actually.org/#rosie)) over the notion that it would be easier for Romney if he were Latino.
