Last week I pointed out the front page ad of the Des Moines Register that made it appear an ad for Barack Obama was editorial content.

Check out today's Manchester Union Leader front page, in which the Obama re-election campaign has again purchased the bulk of the front-page real estate in a state where a Republican primary is being held.

Nobody ever said Obama's people were stupid. Arrogant ? Perhaps. But not stupid.

Is the Obama campaign really trying to paint Romney as part of the Tea Party agenda?

This ad didn't jump out at me that way. I could easily make one that did, however. Not hard for an entry-level designer to do.
