Romney Feeds His Own Negative Narrative On A Daily Basis

15 Comments
I really have never seen anything like the Romney campaign.  Disaster is too mild a word.  If there's a misstep to be made, Romney makes it. And every single error, misstep, gaffe Romney makes confirms what the Obama Campaign has been saying all along. That's why the attacks/criticisms against Romney are resonating. Romney's hopelessly out of touch with average people - his social awkwardness (if you haven't seen Romney trying to get the crowd to chant his name here it is) isn't the least bit endearing; it's jaw-droppingly shocking.  Romney's compassion for people resembles a profit/loss analysis - there are simply groups (a whopping 47%) of people he's willing to write off.  And it's funny that a man who lacks compassion for the poor is resolute about humanizing corporations.

In his remarks, Bodenweiser called O’Donnell a “heavy hitter” and delivered a strongly conservative message. “In order to turn this nation around, we’re going to have to get that Bible back in our schools” he said. “And we’re going to have to start honoring marriage and families. The other thing we’ve got to do, we’ve got to stop abortion.”

This series of debates is sponsored by UD and Delaware First Media. This is a separate set of debates from the WHYY/WDEL events, but another great opportunity to see these candidates up close and personal. These are being held at Mitchell Hall on the UD Newark campus. Both start at 7pm.

Pires has Carper worried? I doubt it

First the tit for tat billboards, now this fundraising letter from Sen. Coons making a frowny face about that bad old Alex Pires. Click through to read it, but I'll give my response to Senator Coons up here.
Dear Senator Coons, Thanks for the letter. Instead of sending money to Carper, the guy who has enriched himself during his tenure in the Senate, I'll send this advice; BE A DEMOCRAT. Delaware is a blue state and we don't appreciate the way you worked to water-down the ACA and the way you constantly provide the extreme right wing with bipartisan cover for their extremist shenanigans. Yours, Jason330

If you or someone you know is extremely passionate about a certain conspiracy theory, we'd love to talk to you. We're looking for outgoing people who can really make an audience think, get passionate, shake up their beliefs a little bit and inspire them to look at the world through more discerning eyes.

"One of the dogs that hasn't barked in this campaign is the massive financial advantage Mitt Romney was expected to enjoy on account of nearly unlimited funds available to him from conservative Superpacs. Yet, even including the efforts of outside groups, Obama has been out-advertising Romney in the key swing states...[.] The full story of how the financial tsunami failed to strike has yet to be untangled, but bits and pieces have dribbled out over recent days."

Democrats shouldn’t vote for Tom Carper. Period.

Without even going into his worst in the Democratic Caucus voting record, Tom Carper is currently giving Delaware Democrats the finger on giant bill boards. Perhaps as a response to Alex Pires' giant billboards which forcefully deliver the the message "Alex Pires," Tom Carper has invested in bill boards which essentially deliver his message "I love enabling Republican obstruction!"
