In the ad, Eastwood says "America's been knocked down" and that President Obama needs to be held "accountable." In the 30-second spot, Eastwood points to high unemployment and deficits.

"Obama's second term would be a rerun of the first, and our country just couldn't survive that," Eastwood says. "We need someone who can turn it around fast. That man is Mitt Romney. There's not much time left and the future of our country is at stake."

The ad, "At Stake," will run in seven states - Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio and Virginia - and is part of a larger $12.6 million multi-ad campaign and is in addition to the $4.2 million ad buy targeting women voters released Tuesday by sister organization Crossroads GPS.

Another component of today's ad buy from the Karl Rove-backed group includes a spot airing in Colorado, Iowa, Ohio and Virginia focusing on small businesses. Small business owner Barbara Spyridakis says "the last four years have been really tough." Skip Wolfford, another business owner, says "Obama's policies are the problem."

The third new ad, airing in Ohio, New Hampshire, Nevada, Florida and Virginia focuses on China policy, an issue Mitt Romney has been touting heavily on the campaign trail, especially in Midwestern battleground states. In the ad, a narrator says the president "talked tough on China" but "Obama's given China a free pass."

Showing a picture of Mr. Obama greeting, and bowing, to Chinese President Hu Jintao, the narrator concludes, "The more Obama borrows on China, the more we'll have to bow to China."

1. Having been convinced

Having been convinced that Clint was a psychotic paranoid with delusions of grandeur of a particularly dark kind since High Plains Drifter, it's incredible to me that so many people didn't understand he was a paleo-Republican all along. Look at the political content of his movies, they're a tapestry of depravity.

2. Clint is sad to me. I actually thought he was one of intelligent people in Hollywood despite being

a Republican. He seems to be a closeted bigot now and almost senile.

3. I expect he was paid a pretty penny for it

because he DEFINITELY isn't the type to appear gratis...

4. I thought it was bizarre to remind people about him days before the election.

5. Romney's whole campaign has been bizarre
