Great work!
However I'd remove the workers losing their jobs comment, since we all want free markets here.

Great work as well!! I'd leave it just like it is. Its not so much a video debating free market economics as it is a contrast between Ron Paul and Mitt Phoney

Wasn't there a picture of Ron Paul in a sports uniform and Mitt Romney in glee club high school pictures? pretty funny if I remember right. Might go nice with your video.

I don't really have a problem with Mitt's past. In fact I think he grew up with privilege, but I on't think he wasted any of it. The only thing I don't like was his protest in favor of the draft, but to be fair that was 1966 and people were still coming off WW2 era when they expected young to "serve."

Beyond that going to the best school in the country, Harvard, and doing to masters degrees at once, Law and Business, at the same time is fairly impressive especially since he graduated in the top 10% of his class in the business half of it. So he had academic success, but then he had private sector success as well.

No he was not an employee for Bane Capital. He founded Bane Capital and produced many jobs in the process.

Ron has a good personal story, but in terms of business experience, Romney has an edge there. I prefer Pau ideologically, but I don't have a problem with Romney's background (as opposed to Gingrich.)

Fine video, probably could tune up the speaking a little bit since you tripped over a few words tho.

Low production value, but high value video! I like it. People need to lose their thirst for war and just face the facts: Ron Paul is the best candidate of the century, maybe ever.

I like it! I wouldn't completely remove this part but I'd soften. Don't want to jump on the Newt bandwagon here, but it's OK to point out the contrast. Maybe like Eugene says, just cut the snark about workers losing their jobs since it will tie us into the Newt attack that is self-destructing Newt even as it takes Mitt down.

I think the issue with takeovers and Mitt is they would drive the stock price down on purpose and when the company was in death throes they would buy it and restore it to its former capacity. Kinda like sanctions weakening a a country before the shock and awe.
