This ad appeared in the Des Moines Register. I personally have not seen anything like this before.

Right - of course paid by the candidate - it was the apology part that I thought was different. Rare, if not new.

It was a pretty popular thing for Republicans do to after Bush, Joey.

OK - did not recall that. In 2008, I assume?

There were several New York and Washington full-page advertisements of prominent Republicans listing their names and recommending not voting for McCain, but for Obama. It's not that unusual. Has happened in previous elections, where long-time party faithfuls go rogue in a public way.

Your listing is simply a campaign ad, though, paid for by Romney. Voters switching parties isn't unusual.
