Romney PAC Recycling 2008 Ads?

Mitt The Hero

A new pro-Romney ad by the super PAC Restore Our Future is almost exactly the same as an ad aired on behalf of the candidate in 2008. The spot details the search for a former colleague’s lost daughter, which Romney helped. The only difference between this advertisement and the one aired when Romney ran for president in 2008 is the title and some of the photos. The ad gives Romney credit for organizing the search for 14-year-old girl, who went missing after a rave on New York City’s Randall’s Island in 1996. Her father’s firm, Bain Capital—run by Mitt Romney at the time—was shut down so that the employees could search.
