The Romney campaign quickly churned out an ad using President Obama’s vote for “revenge” comments on the campaign trail Friday and asked voters to vote “for love of country,” instead.
“No, no, no — don’t boo, vote,” Obama told an audience of supporters on the campaign trail Friday after mentioning Romney. “Vote. Voting is the best revenge.”
With only three days before the election the Romney camp has no time to lose, and it shows.
The 30-second segment called “Revenge or Love of Country?” shows clips of Obama’s “revenge” comment made Friday afternoon and Romney’s call for Americans to vote out of love for their country, not anger, at a rally Friday night in Ohio before asking, “What is your reason for voting?”
That’s less than a 24-hour turn around for the Romney campaign.
But the Romney campaign is not alone in its last minute efforts to sway voters before Tuesday.
The ad comes on the heels of a Obama ad released two days ago featuring Republican former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
The Obama for America ad shows Colin Powell giving his endorsement by noting the dire economy Obama inherited and how the president managed improvements in housing trends, saved the auto industry and protected citizens from terrorism.
It may come down to a battle of the ads in some states as both candidates engage in high-intensity 72-hour campaigns in the nation’s swing states before everything ends on Tuesday.
