That's one of his strongest characteristics. In 2008, when debating McCain, he never once lost his cool, while McCain often got irritable and snarly. I would expect Mittens to get testy, too, when challenged because that's what he does.

Rove is good at projection, but Obama will make a fool of him again.

the one who told Eastwood to tell Romney to go fuck himself.

nice try, Turd Blossom!

The public feels sorry for Obama?

Because that doesn't sound like the REAL Obama at all.

The favorability rating would be 'Chair +7'

You wouldn't like it if the chair got angry.

Obama will say something critical, like, "Willard, you have a piece of lettuce stuck between your teeth." And Romney will say, "There's no need for you to be so angry about it."

And the pundits will agree that President Obama was very very angry and was unjustified pummeling poor Mitt. Yup. They have the framing almost finished.

Seriously, this statement only makes sense if you substitute "Romney" for "Obama":

Obama is not the candidate who is "on the ropes" coming into these debates. Romney is.
Obama is not the candidate who comes off "angry" and "unpresidential" when asked questions. Romney is.

Does the public feel sorry for Obama? I don't know. But I know there are very few who feel sorry for Mitt Romney!

Oh, this is just such typical Rove tactics. It's like trying to use negative psychology on your children, though: after the age of 4, they get wise to it.

But Karl is sermonizing to the faithful, so that they know the proper doctrine when the time comes.

won't that defy his programming and force a system wide shutdown? They haven't installed his e-chip yet.

Ye gods, Mitt is always trying to appear real, and he fails miserably. Rove is essentially admitting that Romney is a lousy actor with a poor script. Yikes.

And frankly, they aren't making that much hay.

Yeah, the American voting public certainly has a tradition of doing things like that...

Todays republicons believe their own bullshit

You can't make this shit up. Someone ought to make a documentary of this election cycle as it would be nearly impossible to believe except we're living it today.
It. has. been. surreal.

What a FOX Snooze viewers going to do when they realize Obama won? They will scream it was rigged.

On re-read I realized he said "bold" ideas. The only way Romney's ideas are bold is when they're written with a giant Magic Marker!

Mitt's got more positions than the Kama Sutra, and none of them are nearly as interesting.

I heard from some talking head yesterday that "both the president and Romney have shown that they let things get under their skins and that's something that works against both of them."



I've never once seen Obama act like in a debate. Can he be abrupt? Sure, when he knows he's right, but acting angry? Never. Not even when that twit yelled, "You lie!" during a SOTU.

This "angry black man" shit needs to stop because it doesn't work.

After almost 12 years does anyone really believe anything rover says?

Every mainstream news outlet will now have at least one show/contributor spin the debates as the 'angry black guy', daily. Disgusting, the whole lot of them.

Yet another example of Rove making Godwin's law obsolete.

...I think you'd take a pass on his particular blend of... blossom.

Rove is delusional. They've been connecting Obama to the word "angry" for four years, trying to make people believe that Obama is &quot black and) angry." It hasn't worked. Only real fanatical right wing extremists believe Obama is "angry." It's ludicrous, and contrary to almost everybody's ordinary experience of the guy.

Rove's a dunce.

It's because their "guru's" treat them like idiots.

at the GOP policies, so be it. Rove just doesn't want Obama to be aggressive.

He'll be in Delaware with Robert Gibbs in a "Point/Counterpoint" talk on November 1st at the Bob Carpenter Center. It says it's free, but tickets are required, and that more details will be announced later. I guess that's so they don't have seating issues.

I'm just not sure if I want to subject myself to that. I'd rather go to the "Election aftermath" one they're having on Nov 14th. It's with Schmidt and Plouffe.

created.




Thanks for taking one for the team!!

That is beyond funny.
