Thats gentle. especially when you know most people basically read the headline and move on...full of information. In politics it's called "free media."

In a sane world, this election wouldn't even be close and Robotney would lose in a landslide. Unfortunately, the United States of 2012 is anything but that.

Like people who still use AOL. It was so difficult to understand in the first place. Some of them (many of them?) use the default page their tech set up for them 10 years ago when Yahoo was popular.

Romney is once-removed from the offshoring. If Obama can get blamed for Fast and Furious, the craziness in the Commerce Department, Solyndra, etc, then I think blaming Romney for outsourcing at Bain-owned companies is totally fair game.

"I'm a great businessman" meme W Mitt is selling.

If he's such a "great businessman" and that leads to him being a good candidate, we should be allowed to look at his business record.
