111. That one with Romney singing is the best I've ever seen.

I have no idea what uninformed voters think of it, but as I've been saying all week, Romney has crossed the line from serious candidate to comedy goldmine.

So maybe now is the time to brush off one of the more mean-spirited political ads ever made, because seriously, what's left but ridicule? Unfortunately, the ad also proved to be more prophetic than anything else.
