My former governor is on CNN making up the excuse for why Romney will lose. Says that the media covering anything other than jobs and the economy is good for Obama and Sandy killed Romney's momentum. Funny, I thought his momentum was dead at "Proceed, Governor."
Now Barbour is blaming the media for "blacking out coverage" with Sandy and saying "nothing was stopping Romney's momentum" until Sandy.
Sad.

(56,828 posts)we were told that the only thing that could happen politically was it could be bad for Obama. If he handled the response well, it would have no effect on the election. And, Romney only had to seem to not take advantage of the situation.
Of course, that was before the storm hit.

Romney Was Sweating Like A Liar During A Polygraph Test
Which is what these debates are, a test of character and honesty. Romney has a long history of dishonesty, secrecy and stone cold weirdness. The nation saw it tonight. President Obama treated Romney like a Somali pirate.

Weird Willard, from the mouth of a Massachusetts State Health Professional
Willard is weird, uncomfortable, awkward and oh so corporate. That's who he is. Last summer I sat in a seat on a plane next to a Health Professional with state government in Massachusetts. She said the Romney administration had every study done by her office cleared by Romney's office before it could be released. This never happened before, or since.
She said Romney was a "strange man" and she was very uncomfortable around him and his staff. She was stunned when he bought and destroyed the hard drives of every computer in the Governor's office when he left office. I asked her, "Isn't this what a person would do if he did not want anyone to know what went on during his administration?" She had a one word answer. "Yes."
To borrow a line from "The Great Gatsby," -The rich are different-."
