7. I know! He was part of that depression-era gang, Romney and Clyde!

Romney and Clyde were pretty looking people but let me tell you people: they were the devil's own children
Romney and Clyde began their evil doing one lazy afternoon way down Savannah way
They robbed a store and hightailed it out of that town
They made their clean away in a stolen car and waited till the heat died down
Romney and Clyde advanced their reputation and made their graduation into the banking business
"Reach for the sky" sweet-talking Clyde would holler as Romney loaded the dollars in the burlap bag

2. Groupthink!

Every citizen should be grateful that this bunch did not make it to the White House. Back with the Bay of Pigs during JFK administration we found out how damaging groupthink can be. It is one thing to have it in a campaign, another to run a country this way.

4. well, they thought they had it fixed in Ohio.Now it seems their cheating machine

doesn't always work. They are so arrogant in their authority, they really thought they could stay in their space capsule and float to the throne because as well-to-do white men of God it was rightfully theirs.

If they can't win by cheating, they have nothing. They've done all they can with gerrymandering and strategic appointments, They have to start over again from ground zero. And they have nothing but unpopular programs, revolting candidates and leaders, and a rapidly shrinking demographic picture.

They're all thinking "kill me now..."

8. Their mistake was thinking one debate could be a game changer.

A candidate who is counting on debates to win the election is probably going to lose. Conventional wisdom is that Reagan beat Carter by winning the debate. Not true. It was a very difficult economy and Americans were weary of the Iran Hostage crisis. Plus Carter had a strong primary challenge from Ted Kennedy. The polls said it was close up to election eve but the polls were incorrect, just as they were in 1948.

12. They're Stunned That Their Whale Got Beached

That's why they're still so stunned. They got busted and they know we're on to them. What can you do now when you think someone is ALWAYS watching YOU, and YOU are supposed to be the watcher.
