didn t visit israel ad, and you get the contraception ad. there have long been only two pages in the mitt romney for president campaign playbook, there s the economy and then there s anything else he needs to resort to in order to excite the republican base. he only has one page to turn, and he has now turned it in the second week of august. mitt romney actually had a very focussed jobs, jobs, jobs message. that is what his entire campaign was trying to focus on for months. that appears to be over. according to them, it is now time to talk to the conservative base, so instead of jobs, jobs, jobs, it s now jobs, jobs, abortion. choose to do. you do what you do. because it matters. at hp we don t just believe in the power of technology. we believe in the power of people when technology works for you. to dream. to create.
