Romney Campaign’s National Co-Chair Steps Down – Nation points and laughs
This kind of thing does not happen to legitimate Presidential campaigns:
Pawlenty Steps Down From Romney Campaign To Join Bank Lobbying Group
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will join the Washington-based Financial Services Roundtable as its new president and CEO, the bank lobbying firm announced Thursday. Pawlenty will step down as national co-chair …
What we are seeing is the natural result of the “point and laugh” strategy that the Obama campaign adopted when they started talking about Bain Capital and ratcheted up when Obama mercilessly mocked “tax cuts for whatever ails you” at the DNC.
I firmly believe that is the mocking that is undoing the GOP. If ever a political party was built on a mock-able premise “The wealthy don’t have enough money – The poor have too much,” it is the modern GOP. And yet, as long as the Democrats refused to engage this premise as absolutely ridiculous, the GOP maintained their edge. The Democrats tried compromise. They tried arguing around the edges. they tried paraphrasing, but all of those approaches validate the ridiculousness.
Now, at long last, we are pointing and laughing and the Republicans have no play in their playbook to deal with it.
Romney’s campaign is in free fall. I have never seen anything like it.
Yup. It’s not as if this job wouldn’t have been there after the election.
Yet another day in which Romney has to spend valuable time trying to convince people that his campaign is not in free-fall.
“Romney’s campaign is in free fall. I have never seen anything like it.”
Sure you have. Wile E. Coyote takes a header off a butte at least once in every cartoon.
Weren’t you around for the Dukakis campaign?
We need Romney in a tank.. Or even better, a flight suit to Mission Accomplished.
How about a conspiracy about Romney in brownface? Places like Wonkette and Gawker are furiously speculating over whether Rmoney browned it up in order to appeal to the Univision viewers of his interview yesterday. The Gawker comments are especially hysterical, so forwarned.
that flight suit won W his first election.
GOP Senate candidate Tommy Thompson, launches Romney under the bus and then peels out on Romney’s carcass.
The Romney new is just too good today. I can’t keep up.
