We hate to say we told you so but… wait, who are we kidding, we love doing that! The long awaited top 10 Mitt Romney supporter created ads are in and well, 9 are in the final running.

The most popular video up to now has been stricken from voting because it came from Slate writer and long time Democratic wonk Bruce Reed. Earlier this week campaign estrategy director Mindy Finn told Wired that 10-12 finalists would be chosen based on views and love, Jumpcut’s unique rating system.

Above: “Way!” received the most love and views in the Romney contest.

In a follow up article in Slate, Reed picks on some of the questionable videos that made the cut, including:

Salt Lake Success IV,” which shows an elderly man in his room reminiscing about volunteering for Mitt at the Olympics. One viewer commented, “This is just a little creepy.”

and

“Mitt Romney’s Resume,” which shows someone (George W. Bush?) filling out a Harvard Business School application. The first viewer comment came from the Romney campaign, which advised the ad maker, “Please fix the spelling of President on the last shot.”

You can’t make this stuff up.
