Hrm. Thought just occured to me that Romney could be heading for an "I'm not a witch" moment.

And he might not even know it yet. So his camp said he stood by these latest "47%" comments. Stupid. So when these new snippets come out, is he locked into saying he stands by what he said even if they're equally damaging? He can't keep doubling down on stupid...or can he?

Anyway, if his camp goes all in and they stand by whatever this new batch is about, I could see him having to do a Christie O'Donnel, having to make the "I'm not a witch" speech. It would be priceless, because you make the "I'm not a witch" speech when, in fact, you're a witch and everyone knows it.

Actually, scratch that. The "47%" comment and the Romney camp standing by it, that's priceless already. The concept that there might be more on the way is intriguing to say the least.

She took ribbing over her BS story on Bill Maher as some sort of agreement or opinion she was a witch.

And by denying something nobody seriously believed, she made it that much funnier.

Maybe the comment was more abstruce than I intended.

What do you mean, that's what he has been doing this entire campaign. Everything from defending his hood slipping to continuing to lie when caught. And when he isn't doubling down he is back peddling and flip flopping. He is the worst candidate ever. He makes GW look smart.
