The same day President Obama spoke at a rally at the University of Wisconsin hoping to re-energize the youth vote that was so crucial to his election victory, blogs picked up on an ad by the College Republican National Committee urging those same young people to break up with Obama. The satirical spot called "The Break Up" is running near college campuses in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida and has gotten more than 50,000 views on YouTube. Mediaite thinks the ad’s pretty good. Politics Daily says, “the group spent $9,700 on the commercial, the first television ad buy in the group's history, apparently sensing an opportunity to attract young voters to the GOP in the weeks leading up to the midterm elections.” More at Politics Daily.com.
