Mitt Romney Puts the Republican SPIN About Sandy in Bill Clinton’s Mouth

[Segami]

Mitt Romney is now claiming that Bill Clinton told him that he might have won, were it not for Hurricane Sandy.


ABC reports on a Romney phone conference:

Romney: “I spoke with President Clinton the day before yesterday, he called and spent thirty minutes chatting with me. He said a week out I thought you were going to win. And he said, but the hurricane happened, and it gave the president a chance to be presidential, and to look bipartisan, and you know he got a little more momentum, and of course he also said that when he was watching Ann speak at the Republican convention, he decided he was tempted to join the Republican Party. So he may have just been effusive with generous comments as he chatted.”

Obviously, Romney is having a tough time with reality. Not only did his first debate bump not last past the improving economic numbers just days later, but this is the man who put words in Australia’s Foreign Minister’s mouth in order to attack Obama. The idea that Bill Clinton would suggest that he was tempted to join the Republican Party after watching Ann Romney speak is, at best, an example of Bill’s charm. At worst, it is not true or is an exaggeration of a nicety thrown out by Clinton to the loser.



Bill Clinton is one of the best politicians around. He knows the hurricane did not win the election for Obama, although Obama’s competency in dealing with it did not hurt. Obama was already winning in the swing states, where he swept Romney, leaving him “shell shocked


The narrative that the hurricane did Romney in is a Republican talking point, desperately being spread around in order to excuse the candidate and Karl Rove for their failure to deliver a win to wealthy donors who were told Romney was winning.

2. When you lay with dogs, you're going to get fleas. What is it Mitt has on these guys?

Bill gives him a prime pre-election spot on his Global Initiative, Obama hints he might have a place in his administration and the Republicans are using it "he said-he said"? All while the GOP is drawing up impeachment papers.

3. It is true. The Big Dog would not have said it if it were not true. Willard should

Remember that and keep running for 2016.
I am looking forward to Willard and Jeb Bush facing off in the primaries.
Maybe Bachman and Huckelbunny can try again too.

Willard and Turd Blossom should run exactly the same campaign against Hillary in 2016.
I shudder to think how devastated we w2ill be when he trounces us
(unless their is another Sandy to save us).
