American Bridge Running Twitter Ads To Remind Folks Of New Mitt's Old Record

Back To The Old Etch-A-Sketch... Mitt Romney is set to deliver a speech tonight -- apparently 2016 Mitt: Now Authentic!™ is a foreign policy expert who is set to enlighten us. But that's rich (pun intended) coming from Mitt, considering his previous iterations of self were plagued by a slew of foreign policy gaffes. In fact, he once argued that it was "not necessary for a president to be an expert in international matters." And of course, he'll continue to drone on with his message of job creation helped him win his presidential reelection in 2012 and create 11 million private sector jobs over the past four years. Oh wait, that was a different guy -- Mitt was the one who had Massachusetts at 47th in the nation in job growth and warned of economic ruin if President Obama won another term.

How Morally Bankrupt is the GOP? Bob Ehrlich's Running For President

Just how bankrupt is the Republican effort to ditch their brand? NH1's Paul Steinhauser writes for the National Journal that the presidential field is so big that even former Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich is running:

Ehrlich plans to make his fourth visit to New Hampshire on Feb. 24, after meeting last week with more than 100 top donors in New York to discuss financing a potential campaign. At those meetings, he discussed setting up a leadership PAC, as a bunch of other probable candidates have done in recent weeks.
It should come as no shock that the GOP is tolerating the sleazy tactics, voter suppression, and convictions in would-be candidate Bob Ehrlich's record...

Scott Walker's Priorities: Rolls Out Presidential 527, Big Budget Cuts to UW

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is making his priorities clear, rolling out a Presidential vehicle for himself on the same day his budget proposal slashes $300 million from the University of Wisconsin system. Walker's 527, Our American Revival, will offer donors the ability to give unlimited amounts of money with only annual disclosure requirements. Walker himself will face restrictions on his involvement with the committee once he formally files for office, not that coordination rules have stopped him before. American Bridge 21st Century President Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement in reaction to Walker:

"What a week for Scott Walker, from pandering to Steve King in Iowa to kissing the Koch brothers' ring in California to proposing a $300 million budget cut to Wisconsin's public universities while rolling out a new vehicle for his Presidential ambitions. Being President is about priorities, and Scott Walker's willingness to hurt the middle class so that his ambition and his financial backers can benefit couldn't be more clear."
