Gee, I don't know... You mean like this:

Romney greeted supporters at a town hall meeting Friday in Jackson, Miss., with a hearty ''Morning, y'all!'' and said he started the day off right with ''a biscuit and some cheesy grits.''

God, I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning....

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/0 ... rong-stateRomney's Ohio ad uses footage from the wrong state (VIDEO)
Let's ignore for a moment that Mitt Romney's solution to what ailed General Motors was to just let the whole damn thing fail, thus making this choice of topics a rather curious choice at best for Mitt's increasingly self-satirizing campaign. His ad blaming Barack Obama for GM's closing of auto dealerships in Ohio has other problems as well. The outdoor footage at the four second mark? It's a clip of downtown Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City is notable for, among other things, not being in Ohio.
[J]ust as the narrator says that at the 5-second mark, the ad shows a streetscape that appears to be in Oklahoma City, as noted by Sarah Burris, managing editor of the progressive blog FutureMajority.com. Google street view confirms that the scene is indeed outside the Advanced Academics building on E. Sheridan Avenue in Oklahoma City.
It's fine to pander to the voters in battleground states (even if your message is "vote for me, because I wouldn't have even tried to help you damn people"), but it loses a bit of impact when you can't even be bothered to get footage from the actual state you're pandering to. I guess Mitt Romney is just that committed to outsourcing?
