Over the weekend the Obama campaign released a coming attraction for Romney's convention:
Obama's people also put out an ad quoting the AARP against Romney and Ryan's approach to Medicare (running in five states for unknown length of time):
Meanwhile, the Romney campaign put Craig Romney on the radio to tell Hispanic voters how George Romney was born in Mexico. They also played a little gotcha with a TV ad made from '08 footage of Obama attacking McCain on Medicare cuts with the same line of reasoning the Romney campaign is currently using on Obama (size and scope of ad unknown):
In miscellaneous web ads, the DNC displays its tin ear with "The Romney Bunch", the liberal Super PAC American Bridge makes fun of the Romney/Ryan bromance (which happens to be the theme of the current New Yorker cover), and MoveOn.org deploys another lame metaphor with this Tampa-only TV ad airing during the convention:
Elsewhere, the maker of Paul Ryan's P90X workout regimen is apparently advertising on Google around "Paul Ryan fitness" while Libertarian Gary Johnson is advertising his love for Ron Paul to coincide with the start of the convention (and the inevitable alienation of Paul supporters).
