He reminded us he lost to McCain!

I couldn't believe rMoney talked about "licking his wounds" from having lost to McCain! LOL! For all those low information voters, that was quite a reminder. He couldn't even beat McCain. Maybe it's just me, but I thought that was big.

thinking what presidential candidate in their right mind would want to leave the impression that they were very sensitive to the point they would bring the shit up on live TV to counter PBO's argument he was the standard bearer of his party at the time. I think though PBO was referring to Mittnocchio being the standard bearer for the extreme righties.

I also thought it was a big moment in the second debate. Mitt was clearly flustered and it showed. Why else would he bring up "licking his wounds" after his lost to Senator (John) McCain in the 2008 Republican primary ???
