Labor jumps into GOP primary fray

By Greg Sargent

It isn’t every day that major national unions get involved in GOP presidential primaries, but that’s exactly what’s happening in Florida right now — another sign of how the bipartisan attacks on Romney’s Bain years have scrambled the political calculus.

AFSCME is going up with a major ad buy in the state hammering Mitt Romney's record as a businessman — and giving it a local angle by linking Romney to Governor Rick Scott.

“What kind of a businessman is Mitt Romney?” the ad intones. “While Romney was a director of the Damon Corporation, the company was defrauding Medicare of millions.” AFSCME sent me the spot:

1. Told you so

Tie the Repukes with Rick Scott the most "loved" man in the state.

2. Good ad... Even most Republican's can't stand Rick Scott...

If we had the ability to do a re-call for him, I believe he would be going out the door like that asshat in Wisconsin.... LOL

3. Love the quiet tone in this ad.

It is sure to catch attention.

4. Nice

I hope they run some nationally about Bain Capital during the main election. It would help in many areas (WI Recalls, MN expected state Constitutional Amendment on Right To Work).

5. Looks and sound good to me.

6. Prep for the general election

Love it! riding their free advertising (the debates).
