The "Mitt Romney Phenomenon?"
Have you ever heard of the "Mitt Romney phenomenon?" I guess Fox News is trying to create one. This is what Neil Cavuto said today (August 5, 2008) on Your World: "Taking a look at a couple of other developments today, ah, what to make of the Mitt Romney phenomenon and is there something going on here? We're going to explore that."

Comment: What? Well, Cavuto never did "explore that" new "development" but he obviously telegraphed that there's something exciting going on when it comes to Mitt Romney. Trying to soften the 27% crowd to the idea of a Romney VP pick?

Romney was on the show in a taped interview approximately five minutes later but there was no mention or discussion whatsoever of a "phenomenon." Maybe Cavuto wanted viewers to have the word "phenomenon" in mind when they watched him? Don't know but obviously the psychologists at Fox are hard at work.

3. the phenomenon lost to McSame. My fear= Romney-Graham ticket
that's right Mittens takes over when McSame drops out. No religious fundies will vote for Mittens so he picks Franklin Graham (Billy's boy) as VP and nails down the Fundie vote. Bain Capital money buys another 4 years of neocon control.

I pray I'm wrong

6. I have a feeling
that he was offered the VP slot quite early on. There was something a bit strange about the way he withdrew.

5. I think what they're referring to is
running for election on a false platform, and almost immediately trashing the state that elected you, while neglecting the state, enforcing bigoted laws to help his standing for running for the Republican nomination, and making some decisions that are seriously fucking us hard now.

Fuck you Mitt Romney.
