The side show, first up, what? no etch-a-sketch, when mitt romney s advisor compared his candidate s shifts to an etch-a-sketch, the toy became a must-have prop for santorum and gingrich. but ron paul not so much. they came out with this new ad on the topic. is sounds like more of a bromance between him and romney. it s like an etch-a-sketch, you can shake it up. do you have an etch-a-sketch? we re talking about big things here folks. see, it mainly goes after gingrich and santorum. going after romney? not here, the paul campaign goes after every other candidate, but never mitt romney.
