Romney Advisers Reveal Strategy: Ignore Journalists, Pander To Right-Wing Conspiracy Websites

How dare they ask questions like, "What do you read?" to a VP candidate. All those tricky gotcha questions you know.

just the choir you are already preaching to.

Don't believe it. The effective reach of the Right Wing propaganda machine goes well beyond just the fringe nutters. The mainstream media often simply reflexively echoes stories from the Right.

And I know someone who I generally consider left-of-center who said he wasn't going to vote for Obama because of the Fast and Furious nonsense, echoing the full-blown NRA conspiracy theory.

The crazy spreads like a virus.

At the rate Mitwit is going he'll lose worse than McCain.

Everyone knew as soon as the nomination was a lock Romney would run to the middle. But he goes right on pandering to the base. Why do they think they can ignore the middle and still win? Do they know something we don't? Is the fix in?

I think we're seeing the strategy emerge now.

If Romney wins in 2012, his job will be to repeal the Affordable Care Act and sign all the bills Norquist writes. There are rational Republicans you don't hear about because the teabaggers, Norquist acolytes and Ayn Rand lovers are drowning them out, and they're sick of what Norquist is doing to this country. Rational Republicans can see that every time they cut taxes government revenues go down...which makes perfect sense because according to the Laffer Curve, when taxes are too low, as they are now, and you cut them they will go down. The major problem with Republicans using the Laffer Curve for anything is they think taxes are always too high.

The strategy for throwing the 2012 election is pretty simple: let Romney align himself with the extreme right. When he loses, and he will, he'll take a lot of Congressional teabaggers with him. By 2015, there should be few enough teabaggers in power they can be simply ignored. (Case in point: Nikki Haley, teabag governor running South Carolina, only has a 35 percent approval rating among the general populace and 60 percent among Republicans.)

At that point, in steps Jeb the White Knight...who, for some strange reason, is to the left of most of the prominent Republicans.

Obama and Dems need to start intimating that the sequestration of Romney seems awfully similar to how Sarah Palin was kept from the media back in 2008.

If Mitt can't handle press interviews any better than Palin, is he qualified for the office?

Heck, they're doing it now while giving R'money a pass. Heck, they're even giving him positive coverage, not asking him a darn thing while carrying the GOP water every chance they get!

I've figured out the romney/gop campaign strategy.

The romney campaign has figured out that it doesn't matter to his base what he says ... no matter how inconsistent, shallow or stupid.

So, as the article indicates, by limiting their interviews to rightwing media, they can get their message out there, unchallenged.

And since the rest of can't get face time with romney, they will report whatever romney said to fox, as fact. They did it with Bush and they've done it for the past 4 year with the gop in congress ... they'll do it for romney, too.

And those few true "independents" will only hear romney's unchallenged message.

The MSM should simply quit reporting on Romney if he isn't willing to answer their questions. He can be the shadow candidate he truly is.

It worked so well for John McCain and Sarah Palin...

Team Romney needs to accent the views of the parody media to reinforce his campaign platform:
