The "who's tougher on China" ad wars continue with this one hitting Romney on his investment in Global Tech, which manufactured appliances under sweatshop conditions:

TRANSCRIPT:

"These appliances could have been made here in America. But a company called Global Tech maximized profits by paying its workers next to nothing under sweatshop conditions in China. When Mitt Romney led Bain, they saw Global Tech as a good investment even knowing that the firm promoted its practice of exploiting low-wage labor to its investors.
Mitt Romney, tough on China? Since when?"

The ad will run in New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado, and Nevada.

The Boston Globe reported recently on how Romney's firm, Brookside Inc., bragged on the advantages of China's low-wage, low-tax environment:

http://bostonglobe.com/...

WASHINGTON – Less than two weeks before an investment firm controlled by Mitt Romney decided to invest in a China-based home appliance company, the company put out a detailed document to investors promoting itself as a low-wage, low-tax firm that would not be subject to taxes in the United States.
It used “inexpensive labor,” Global-Tech Appliances wrote in a prospectus meant to attract investors on April 8, 1998. Its location in China meant “an overall effective tax rate that may be less than that of US corporations.” It said its current operations would not be subject to “material US taxes because it should not be considered to have significant income effectively connected with a trade or business in the US.”

David Corn of Mother Jones was first on this story back in July:

http://www.motherjones.com/...

Last month, Mitt Romney's campaign got into a dustup with the Washington Post after the newspaper reported that Bain Capital, the private equity firm the GOP presidential candidate founded, invested in several US companies that outsourced jobs to China and India. The campaign indignantly demanded a retraction, claiming that these businesses did not send jobs overseas while Romney was running Bain, and the Post stood by its investigation. Yet there is another aspect to the Romney-as-outsourcer controversy. According to government documents reviewed by Mother Jones, Romney, when he was in charge of Bain, invested heavily in a Chinese manufacturing company that depended on US outsourcing for its profits—and that explicitly stated that such outsourcing was crucial to its success.

On Wednesday, word came that Obama For America would be purchasing slots for two minute TV ads to run September 28th through October 4th. Here is the ad, an economic message where Obama lays out what he would tell us if he could sit down at our kitchen tables.

http://www.news-journalonline.com/...

Obama readied a new ad in seven battleground states, a lengthy spot designed to cut through the clutter and outline a second-term agenda to create manufacturing jobs, promote U.S.-made energy resources, train workers and reduce the deficit. He uses the ad to remind voters that the nation was losing nearly 800,000 jobs a month when he took office and was "mired" in Iraq but now the nation, he says, is "moving forward again." He charges that Romney's plan would double-down "on the same trickle-down policies" that led to the economic crisis.
"It's time for a new economic patriotism rooted in the belief that growing our economy begins with a strong, thriving, middle class. Read my plan. Compare it to Gov. Romney's and decide for yourself," Obama says in the ad, which directs viewers to a campaign website. The ad was appearing in New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado. Campaign aides said voters in those states would see it frequently.

Transcript:

During the last weeks of this campaign there will be debates, speeches and more ads. But if I could sit down with you in your living room or around the kitchen table here's what I'd say:
When I took office we were losing nearly 800,000 jobs a month and were mired in Iraq. Today I believe that as a nation we are moving forward again. But we have much more to do to get folks back to work and make the middle class secure again.

Now, Governor Romney believes that with that even bigger tax cuts for the wealthy and fewer regulations on Wall Street all of us will prosper. In other words he'd double down on the same trickle down policies that led to the crisis in the first place. So what's my plan?

First, we create a million new manufacturing jobs and help businesses double their exports. Give tax breaks to companies that invest in America, not that ship jobs overseas.

Second, we cut our oil imports in half and produce more American-made energy, oil, clean-coal, natural gas, and new resources like wind, solar and bio-fuels—all while doubling the fuel efficiencies of cars and trucks.

Third, we insure that we maintain the best workforce in the world by preparing 100,000 additional math and science teachers. Training 2 million Americans with the job skills they need at our community colleges. Cutting the growth of tuition in half and expanding student aid so more Americans can afford it.

Fourth, a balanced plan to reduce our deficit by four trillion dollars over the next decade on top of the trillion in spending we've already cut, I'd ask the wealthy to pay a little more. And as we end the war in Afghanistan let's apply half the savings to pay down our debt and use the rest for some nation building right here at home.

It's time for a new economic patriotism. Rooted in the belief that growing our economy begins with a strong, thriving middle class. Read my plan. Compare it to Governor Romney's and decide for yourself. Thanks for listening.

This is what it looks like when a race breaks open. President Obama has seen favorable poll numbers in all three states, but the Ohio and Florida results are shocking blowouts.

The New York Times, in collaboration with Quinnipiac University and CBS News, is tracking the presidential race with recurring polls in six states. In Ohio — which no Republican has won the presidency without — Mr. Obama is leading Mr. Romney 53 percent to 43 percent in the poll. In Florida, the president leads Mr. Romney 53 to 44 percent in the poll.
The surveys, which had margins of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points for each candidate, also included a Pennsylvania poll, where Mr. Obama is leading Mr. Romney by 12 percentage points.

To recap:

Ohio - Obama +10 (53-43)

Florida - Obama +9 (53-44)

Pennsylvania - Obama +12 (54-42)

These are likely voters, folks. Support well over 50 for Obama, huge margins, and only 3-4 percent undecided all three states, two of which in Ohio and Florida that Romney must have. If these results are right, you can stick a fork in Romney.

http://www.cbsnews.com/...

Obama also has approvals of at least 50 in each state:

The president's job approval rating in Florida and Ohio is 50 percent, with 47 percent disapproving. His approval rating in Pennsylvania is 51 percent, with 45 percent disapproving. Romney is viewed more unfavorably than favorably in all three states.

Is it the economy, stupid?

Mr. Obama holds six point leads in Ohio and Pennsylvania on the question of who would do a better job on the economy, and a five point lead on that question in Florida.

The polls also show good results for all three Senate seats:

The poll also found that Democratic Senate candidates are leading their Republican opponents in all three states. In Florida, Bill Nelson leads Connie Mack 53 percent to 39 percent; in Ohio, Sherrod Brown leads Josh Mandel 50 percent to 40 percent; and in Pennsylvania, Bob Casey leads Tom Smith 49 percent to 43 percent.

Polling details:

This poll was conducted by telephone from Quinnipiac University's interviewing facility September 18--24, 2012. The number of likely voters interviewed in each state is 1,196 in Florida, 1,162 in Ohio and 1,180 in Pennsylvania.

The NY Times reports that, just as the Obama and Romney campaigns battle over who is tougher on China, Obama is using his powers of incumbency to take action on that front.

http://www.nytimes.com/...

The Obama administration plans to file a broad trade case at the World Trade Organization in Geneva on Monday accusing China of unfairly subsidizing its exports of autos and auto parts, a senior administration official said late Sunday, in a move with clear political implications for the presidential elections less than two months away.

Obama will announce the case on Monday, while he campaigns in Ohio, a state which relies on the auto industry and has benefited greatly from the success of Obama's auto bailout. This announcement comes on the heels of admissions from within the Romney campaign that Ohio may be slipping away from them. Following those leaks, NBC/Marist showed Obama with a 7 point lead in Ohio.

Of course, this is hardly a one-off last minute move by the Obama administration. They have consistently pressed trade issues against China.

http://content.usatoday.com/...

"President Obama has always stood up for American workers, regardless of politics. He's filed seven trade complaints against China, bringing cases at twice the rate of the Bush administration," Smith said.

And won them:

http://www.reuters.com/...

Washington won a major victory in an election-year dispute against China on Monday when a WTO ruling found China had discriminated against U.S. bank card suppliers in favor of a state-owned enterprise that enjoys an illegal monopoly.

In recent days, there have been dueling ads out of the Obama and Romney campaigns specifically on the issue of China and trade. Romney put out an ad first and Obama hit back with this:

This action, while part of an ongoing effort, reinforces the message in his ad and comes at a time where Obama may be on the verge of virtually locking Ohio down. Certainly, it can't hurt.

I would not normally bring an individual poll result, let alone for a Senate seat, to the front page. Due to the interest and anxiety over the Massachusetts Senate race, I thought it was warranted in this case.

http://www.masslive.com/...

A new poll by the Western New England Polling Institute conducted September 9-13 shows Elizabeth Warren leading Scott Brown 50-44 among Likely Voters. I'm not aware of their track record, but I notice that their poll results in this race have been consistent with other polls taken around the same time.

Their previous poll at the end of May showed Warren leading by 2 (45-43) among Registered Voters. By way of comparison, the new poll has Warren leading by 12 (53-41) among Registered Voters, a shift of 10 points.

The pollster states that Warren has solidified her base, likely influenced by her convention appearance:

Tim Vercellotti, professor of political science and director of the Polling Institute at Western New England University, said Warren's lead comes in part from the fact that she's shored up support among Democrats to 89 percent, while losing only six percent of her party's support to Brown.
Part of that bump, he said, may be attributable to the fact that polling started at the end of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., and just two days after Warren delivered a prime-time speech ahead of former President Bill Clinton at the event.

Whether some of the shift is a temporary post-DNC bump, it is good to see momentum on her side both in the polls and in campaign strategy. Her new, more aggressive ad strategy may be too recent to have factored into this poll result, but it bodes well for the future.

It can't hurt to take another look at her fantastic Fighter ad.

New Obama TV Ad: "The Question" - Yes, we are better off

The Obama campaign has posted a new 60 second TV ad that confronts Romney's question, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" head on.

It reminds the viewer exactly where we were four years ago, in CRISIS - the economy in freefall. Then it shifts to contrast the two plans moving forward, utilizing snipits from both Clinton's and Obama's DNC speeches. It posits that the real Question we should be asking is: "Who has the better plan for the future?"

Recent OFA ad buys have been for two 30 second ads and one 60 second. It looks like this is going to be replacing the previous 60 second go-to, which was "The Choice." The majority of the two are similar, contrasting the Obama and Romney plans. However, this adds the additional framing of answering the "four year" question before reframing the focus Forward, and also reminds us of the highly effective convention.

Updated with the transcript:

http://thepage.time.com/...

BARACK OBAMA: “I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message.

VOICEOVER: “He keeps saying it.”

MITT ROMNEY: “This President cannot tell us that you’re better off today than when he took office.”

VOICEOVER: “Well, here’s where we were in 2008:”

BRIAN WILLIAMS: “Worst financial collapse since the great depression.”

LESTER HOLT: “American workers were laid off in numbers not seen in over three decades.”

VOICEOVER: “And here’s where we are today. 30 months of private sector job growth. Creating 4.6 million new jobs. We’re not there yet. But the real question is: Whose plan is better for you? The President’s plan asks millionaires to pay a little more to help invest in a strong middle class, clean energy, and cut the deficit. Mitt Romney’s plan? A new two-hundred-fifty-thousand-dollar tax break for multi-millionaires. Roll back regulations on the banks that cratered the economy, and raise taxes on the middle class.”

BILL CLINTON: “They want to go back to the same old policies that got us in trouble in the first place.”

BARACK OBAMA: “We’re not going back, we are moving forward.”

VOICEOVER: “Forward.”

(Update) DNC Day 2 (25.1M) beats RNC Day 2 (21.9M) in ratings, even against the NFL

There has been concern about how DNC viewership would be affected by last night's opening NFL game and NBC dropping its coverage of their primetime convention coverage. Well, the initial ratings totals are in, and it seems that the popularity of the Big Dog helped stave off any major dropoff.

As Mediabistro reports:

And even with football on NBC, the 10pm hour of the DNC’s night two still topped night two of the RNC a week ago: 20,622,000 vs. 20,049,000

The breakdown is as follows:

•DNC Day Two / Sept. 5, 10-11pm:
ABC: 4,587,224 viewers (1,728,724 in 25-54)
CBS: 4,410,140 viewers (1,723,928 in 25-54)
MSNBC: 4,387,567 viewers (1,419,115 in 25-54)
CNN: 4,134,662 viewers (1,543,771 in 25-54)
FNC: 3,102,606 viewers (813,816 in 25-54)

Compared to Day 2 of the DNC in 2008, ABC, CBS, MSNBC and FNC are up. The growth can be attributed to one less network (NBC) to watch. It could also be attributed to the fact that CNN is down -23% in total viewers and down -33% in A25-54 viewers, vs. 2008.

Please note that this total does not yet include PBS and some smaller cable channels. When this initial number was reported for Day 1, it was about 22 million which increased to 26.2 when all channels were included.

Once we have the finals, the gap between the DNC and RNC will be greater. For their Day 1, the RNC total grew less from just over 20 million to 22.3 million with all channels totalled, because they get much less viewership on PBS.

I will update when the full numbers are out from Nielsen, but Day 2 is going to beat the RNC easily and will likely only be a dropoff of a couple million from DNC Day 1, even going up against the NFL kickoff.

UPDATE:

With the final ratings for all channels in, the DNC Day 2 beat the RNC 25.1 million to 21.9 million.

Not only did the clobber the other side with the added obstacle of the NFL, but it's also only a 1.1 million dropoff from Day 1 of the DNC.

http://blog.nielsen.com/...

An estimated 25.1 million people watched the second night of the 2012 Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, September 5. The second night of the DNC was carried live from Charlotte, North Carolina across seven networks and featured a keynote speech by former President Bill Clinton.
The DNC was up against a formidable opponent. The NFL kicked-off (literally) its season with the New York Giants hosting the Dallas Cowboys on NBC (8:41 PM to 11:30 PM ET). The game averaged 23.9 million viewers.

Today, at the same event at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay discussed in Shawn Russell's recommended diary about Ryan's debt commission lies, VP Biden came right out and said it. I've seen VoucherCare used here on the site, but I'm not aware before now of the President or VP using it.

Politico reported on the event:

http://www.politico.com/...

“My mom was a smart woman,” he said. “But, my mom, I can’t picture handing her a voucher at age 80 and saying — you go out in the insurance market and you figure out what’s best for you.”

“Ladies and gentleman, it’s just that simple: We are for Medicare; they are for Vouchercare,” Biden told the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd of about 1,000 at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay.

And the fantastic video:

If there was any question how soon and how directly the ticket was going to attack on this issue, the Biden has now been unleashed!

PolitiFact has had a lot of issues with determining what are...you know..."facts" at times.

Their "2011 Lie of the Year" was the claim that Republicans had voted to end Medicare, the main problem with that appelation being that the claim was TRUE.

Rachel Maddow has taken them to task several times for being "bad at their jobs." Most of these times, PoliFact has found statements to be factually true or false, but because they are mindreaders they determined that the statement was trying to imply some other point and therefore gave equivocating ratings such as "mostly true" or "mostly false."

But even a blind pig tells the correct time twice a day (or however that goes), because today they got something right.

Putting Mitt Romney's attacks on 'You didn't build that' to the Truth-O-Meter

For nearly two weeks, the Romney and Obama campaign have been arguing about whether President Barack Obama insulted entrepreneurs.

And came to a correct conclusion:

Our ruling

In speeches and videos, the Romney campaign has repeatedly distorted Obama's words. By plucking two sentences out of context, Romney twists the president's remarks and ignores their real meaning.
The preceding sentences make clear that Obama was talking about the importance of government-provided infrastructure and education to the success of private businesses.

Romney also conveniently ignores Obama's clear summary of his message, that "the point is ... that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together."

By leaving out the "individual initiative" reference, Romney and his supporters have misled viewers and given a false impression. For that, we rate the claim False.

That's false. Not kinda-sorta-false, or mostly-false, or halfway-true. Meter all the way to the red: FALSE.

Romney's Amazing Anglo Affinity - "England: Mostly Harmless"

We've been reading for the past couple of days about an anonymous Romney adviser who assures us that Romney is more qualified to deal with England because of his deep understanding of the Anglo-Saxon heritage.

I guess that Romney foreign policy adviser hasn't been speaking with the other Romney foreign policy advisers who have been whining that President Obama has received WAY TOO MUCH admiration and support from Prime Minister Cameron.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/...

Nile Gardiner, another foreign policy adviser to Mr Romney, previously described the Prime Minister’s behaviour in Washington as a “sad exercise in hero-worship before an extremely liberal White House”, which had shown itself willing to “knife London in the back” over the Falkland Islands.
“David Cameron’s wholehearted support for Barack Obama has significantly harmed the image of the British Conservative Party among US conservatives, who revere its greatest figures: Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill,” Mr Gardiner wrote after the visit.

Who wants a President actually getting along gangbusters with the other country's leader when you could have the guy whose affinity for England is just written into his DNA?

I came across a nugget later in the article that I think illustrates how deep Romney's understanding of England goes. With just a few lines, Romney paints a dazzlingly nuanced picture of England, imbued with his understanding of its culture, heritage, and sweeping impact on world history.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/...

"England is just a small island," he wrote in his memoir 'No Apology'. "Its roads and houses are small. With few exceptions, it doesn't make things that people want to buy”.

"England is just a small island."

I can think of only one other writer of travelogues who can take such a complex destination and sum it up in such a succinct manner.

That writer's name is Ford Prefect.

"If you're a researcher on this book thing and you were on Earth, you must have been gathering material on it."
"Well, I was able to extend the original entry a bit, yes."

"Let me see what it says in this edition, then. I've got to see it."
... "What? Harmless! Is that all it's got to say? Harmless! One word! ... Well, for God's sake I hope you managed to recitify that a bit."

"Oh yes, well I managed to transmit a new entry off to the editor. He had to trim it a bit, but it's still an improvement."

"And what does it say now?" asked Arthur.

"Mostly harmless," admitted Ford with a slightly embarrassed cough.

--The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Perhaps what we ended up with was Romney's expanded version, the first draft simply being: "England: Island."

Undeterred by Romney's denial press junket-palooza on Friday, the Boston Globe is pushing back on Romney's claim that he had no active involvement in Bain or any Bain entity after February of 1999.

One article goes through the list of contradictory statements by Bain, Mitt Romney, Ann Romney, and Romney's lawyer that suggest active involvement in that 1999-2002 period. These items should be familiar to avid readers of Daily Kos in recent days. You know, all the stuff that any competent interviewer would have pressed Romney on yesterday.

Account of Romney's Bain departure has evolved - Conflicting evidence on his role after 1999

But until his run for governor — and even before that campaign was underway in earnest, when he needed to prove sustained connections to Massachusetts in order to ward off a ballot challenge — Romney had characterized his departure from Bain Capital more as a “leave of absence” in which he would be a “part-timer,” and not as an absolute separation from the thriving business he built and solely owned.
It was not until 2002 that Romney finalized a severance agreement with Bain, a 10-year deal with undisclosed terms that was retroactive to 1999.

Romney’s own words, along with other documentary evidence, appear to challenge his campaign’s assertion in a recent financial disclosure that Romney had “retired” from Bain in 1999 and “since February 11, 1999, Mr. Romney has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way.”

The Globe also has another article going into detail on Romney's continuing involvement with Lifelike Co., a Bain investment, beyond February 1999.

Mitt Romney position undercuts Bain claim - Served on board of company tied to firm until ’01

Now the small, defunct business has grown from an odd blemish on Romney’s financial career into a political headache for the presumptive GOP nominee for president. It is among the pieces of evidence that undermine Romney’s claim that he did not participate in Bain Capital investing activities after 1999.
Romney served on the Lifelike board from its founding in the mid-1990s until 2001, according to the former governor’s financial disclosure forms and other public records. Romney described his responsibility as a board member in his testimony in 2002 before a state panel considering a challenge to his eligibility for the ballot.

There's an interesting capper to the story once Romney and Bain were out of Lifelike involving Mitt's brother-in-law, Roderick Davies.

With Romney and Bain gone, the company’s death spiral accelerated. Davies — the brother of Romney’s wife, Ann — was given the job of moving all of Lifelike’s operations to China and setting up a new corporation in Bermuda to assume ownership.

The old China/Bermuda two-step. Why does this all sound so familiar? Davies, by the way, later became the subject of a lawsuit by the company.

Apologies if either direct link hits a paywall. I found the articles through Google News and had no problem, so my suggestion is to enter that way.

Elizabeth Warren: "What Republicans want to take away"

Elizabeth Warren published an Op-Ed for The MetroWest Daily News making the point that all of our Democratic candidates, and us as their supporters, need to push.

The fight is on — again. Mitt Romney, Scott Brown, and Republicans across this country are doubling down against President Obama’s health care reform law. Now that the Supreme Court has said that most of the new law passes constitutional muster, the Republicans are running for office pledging to repeal every aspect of the health care reforms.
For millions of people this isn’t a political issue, it’s a personal one. Their health depends on it.

The ACA is no longer a potentiality; it's real, it's constitutional, and it's happening.

We know that the Republicans plan to proceed with their Obamacare temper tantrum and that the only thing they will replace it with after a repeal is a big fat nothing.

The public cannot be reminded enough that they have benefits coming to them that the Republicans want to affirmatively act to take away. As Elizabeth Warren continues:

For seniors, health care reform means expanding Medicare coverage to pick up the costs of prescription drugs. As the donut hole closes, the average Massachusetts senior has so far saved about $650. But Mitt Romney, Scott Brown, and their fellow Republicans want to take that away.
For young people, health care reform means staying on their parents’ insurance plans until they are 26. So far, more than 20,000 young people here in Massachusetts have taken advantage of this. But Romney, Brown, and their fellow Republicans want to take that away.

For everyone, health care reform means access to preventive care like colonoscopies or mammograms without co-pays. Early detection can save both lives and money. In Massachusetts, 780,000 individuals have received such services. But Republicans want to take that away.

For anyone who develops cancer, a chronic illness, or any medical condition that can cost a staggering amount of money, health care reform means that their insurance company can’t set some arbitrary limit on lifetime coverage. Because of that, countless families will have more secure and stable health care. But Republicans want to take that away.

For small business owners who are struggling with rising health care costs, the federal reforms give tax breaks on insurance coverage. But Republicans want to take away that tax break for small businesses.

We need to highlight these tangible benefits again and again. Not just President Obama and Elizabeth Warren, but everyone on our side of the aisle.
