Good politicians can play it out to the bitter end. But Romney is more a shady executive type. It's going to look like the last day of Lehman Brothers come Wednesday morning. They're already doing the final accounting and shutting down the lights.

I guess the press can now consider itself "you people" too.

Wow - just wow.

Mitt's probably acting strangely, and Anne is in calming mode. I don't mean to be snarky. Maybe Anne is the lynchpin to that family. Maybe Mitt never grew up. I hope his ebbing campaign is Mitt's "come to Jesus" moment

She can afford to be protective of him over any consideration for how it may look politically. It's what I would do if my spouse was in distress.

We could peel this onion further. To what extent has his concern for her well-being left him vulnerable to her manipulation? How much of his callous drive is born of her energy?

I am fine to let this family live in peace as they retire to their fortune. Koch, Rove, the MIC et al are going to have to find someone made of sterner stuff. That beast still lives.

counterproductive when he is hopping from state to state trying to find votes. Just saying, the adage "don't start a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel" seems appropriate. Left behind, tired, no luggage sounds like an opportunity to vent for people who are sick and tired of the peon treatment.

Another classless move by a spoiled brat. I'm betting there is a really interesting reason why that happened. Tantrums, fits, thrown objects are my bet.

Of course proper serfs would have been better at fawning over their lord.
