New ads allege Romney is hiding something in tax returns

Democrats are unleashing a slew of new ads today attacking Mitt Romney for refusing to release more of his tax returns.

The Obama campaign unveiled "Makes You Wonder," a television spot that notes Romney paid less than 15% in taxes on $43 million in income in 2010 and 2011. Romney has released his 2010 return and 2011 estimate, but has thus far refused to release earlier years.

"What is Mitt Romney hiding?" the narrator in Obama ad asks.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an e-mail the spot will run in the Pittsburgh television market, where Romney will be making a campaign stop today. LaBolt did not divulge how large of an ad buy the campaign is making.

1. Can someone explain the sequence of ads in the States where the ads are running?

Are the new ads seen with the old ads? Does the Obama campaign pay for certain ads to run in certain States on certain days?

In the 'old days' didn't the same ads run for so long that people got tired of the ads?

I love the tech savvy smarts of the Obama campaign... and the new ads are hitting Romney hard.

Romney looks like his sleep is being disturbed. . Thin skin + sleep deprived + multi ad attacks= Unstable Romney temper.

2. The best thing is, once they go viral on the Internets...

they get tons of free pub, in states where they aren't even released on the airwaves.

3. less than 15% on 43 million?

Even if legal, that's not going to look good to most people.

4. and that was the return he was willing to let us see.

What are you hiding, Mitt? What are you hiding?
