Shaken, not stirred

Just as his spokesman predicted/promised, Mittens is using the spotlight of the convention to shake that Etch-a-sketch. He knows that his campaign, really his whole life, in no way stirs the base, much less the general populace. Because he knows the money and Faux will keep the low info base in line, he is going to full on shake (lie) mode to trot out his "moderate" past in hopes that the uncommitted are clueless and just now tuning in.

Reminds me of the moral at the center of "The Point". Everyone has a point, but if you have so many leading in all directions, you really have no point at all.

This convention and mostly Romney are going to be the biggest FAIL since Newt's last two or more marriages. It's going to be dull, full of lies and phonies on parade. I would even venture the teevee people are going to want to pull their hair out by Wednesday evening. We'll see I guess.
