Notes: The Democratic National Committee had some fun with this ad as this excerpt from their press release shows: 
"Smooth talking Mitt Romney's 'Running Man' ad is the perfect metaphor for a candidate who can't run far enough or fast enough from his dismal record as governor or his previous positions on the key issues in this campaign," said Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Stacie Paxton. "Romney may be desperate to leave his past in the dust, but it's going to take more than new running shoes and slick campaign ads to convince the American people to ignore his flip-flops and blatant pandering."
