LOL at this choice NYT quote on the "mood of gloom" afflicting the Romney campaign...

A flustered adviser, describing the mood, said that the campaign was turning into a vulgar, unprintable phrase.

Any guesses at what the vulgar unprintable phrase might be?

Yours is a phrase, not just a word, and it describes the situation perfectly.

I hope you win the pool! Good luck!

I was reading the comments and all of a sudden FUBAR popped into my head.

Wonder if newt, perry, santorum, and a... bachmann are feeling vindicated?

"Figs" is one I've heard a few times. Which is funny, because it implies that the urge to swear occurs in the mind along with the appropriate word, just that it gets changed before it's spoken.

I'm thinking the campaign has become a Mitter-figgin' bunch of bellshot.
