Jennifer Mulhern Granholm (born February 5, 1959) is a Canadian-born American politician, educator, author and political commentator who served as Attorney General and 47th Governor of the U.S. state of Michigan.

Mitt Romney's hoping for a convention reinvention where he'll try to shake an etch-a-sketch of epic proportions.

But some things you just can't shake—like his business record, his Massachusetts record, his offshore funds and what the Romney-Ryan budget does to Medicare.

Mitt Romney: An unshakable record that's wrong for the middle class.

Voiceover: "It's a promise that was made long ago. You work hard, pay in. Your Medicare benefits are guaranteed. But Mitt Romney would break that promise...replace your benefits with a voucher."

"Insurance companies could just keep raising rates. .Instead of a guarantee, seniors could pay sixty four hundred dollars more a year. AARP says the plan Mitt Romney supports undermines Medicare. Mitt Romney. An end to the Medicare Promise."

Paul Ryan es el arquitecto del presupuesto Republicano radical. Es un plan que Mitt Romney respalda.

¿Pero que impacto tendría este presupuesto en nuestro país? Las personas de la tercera edad, las familias de la clase media, y los estudiantes sufrirán. Y todo por pagar por las reducciones de impuestos de los más ricos.

If Mitt Romney wins, the middle class loses.

Mitt Romney's message was clear: "Let Detroit go bankrupt." There's little question he made a fortune from businesses he helped destroy. Romney pocketed huge fees shortly before companies collapsed. Even when the businesses failed, Romney came out ahead. Are those the values we want in an American president? (Priorities USA Action is responsible for the content of this advertising.)

With apologies to Paul Simon: "It's just a quirk in the law"

Silly I know, but from the very moment I heard that phrase "a quirk in the law" as the Romney campaign's response to the Boston Globe article exposing his lies about his tenure at Bain Capital, my mind started singing it in rhythm to the line "It was against the law" in the Paul Simon song Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard.

Even sillier, the alternative lyrics kept growing in my mind all day. Here are the results. I hope you get a least a small chuckle:

Romney and his firm made $175 million while Stage Stores was driven to bankruptcy. Stores in WI, OH, PA, MI, and IA were closed. Nearly 6000 workers lost their jobs.

As CEO, Mitt Romney made millions even as New Hampshire families lost everything.

If Mitt Romney wins, the middle class loses.
