American Crossroads Making New $11 Million Ad Blitz Aimed At Women

NEW YORK -- A Republican-leaning independent group supporting Mitt Romney's presidential bid is spending $11.1 million on new television ads aimed at women.

The ad campaign, set to begin Tuesday and run for a week in eight closely contested states, is part of a big push in the final three weeks before the Nov. 6 election.

Polls have shown President Barack Obama with a wide lead over Romney among women, but some surveys suggest that gap has narrowed recently.

The ad, "Sack It," shows a woman watching one of Obama's campaign commercials. "Mr. President, here's what I want to know," she says, asking about the jobs he has promised and wondering what the federal spending he has pushed for has produced.

Rove clip, counter clip that answers/clarifies whatever it is that Rove is pimping. Edit it all nicely and run it close to the Rove ad.

I found the woman irritating in the ad. Is she asking this same thing to the idiots in Congress?? Probably not
