Why Mitt lost (according to a FR poster)
Mitt's clothes:
"He's got to get out of that black suit. They really need to soften up his image and make him more approachable, less like a funeral director. Buy him a polo, blazer, and khakis (or flannel shirt for NH).
Huckabee looks like Gomer Pyle's brother and if that's what people want, well..... Still, a guy as good looking as Mitt needs to look more approachable, likable and the clothing is a good start. The suit 24/7 makes him look too rich and that is off-putting. It's too early to start looking that Presidential."

Lot of unhappy people over there tonight :)

5. He looks too much like an android.
Maybe if he got himself a really good plastic surgeon. Or maybe there's just something about him that he's not coming clean on...

6. Why do we care what those assholes think? FWIW, he doesn't wear 'the suit' all the time.
He wears casual shirts, a lot of royal blue and casual slacks as well. ESPECIALLY when he's farting around in IA.

These idiots don't follow the campaigns before they shoot off their mouths.

Did they expect the jerk to show up in shorts and flip flops on caucus night, or something?

7. Obviously, that freeper is a "wide stancer".
No straight man is that concerned with blazers and color schemes. :rofl:

8. Should he go hunting? Windsurfing? Sit in a tank?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if he spent his ill-gotten gains on the same consultants that screwed our Democratic candidates of the past out of the Presidency?

11. Hm. So they're saying they want
their tall, handsome-but-stiff, wealthy, flip-flopping Massachusetts politician to start trying to appeal to the masses? They think maybe he should have some photo-ops hunting, playing football, wearing normal-people clothing...that kind of stuff?

Funny.

12. It should be easy for him to do that

13. And these wingnut pea-wits trashed Gore for wearing "earth tones"...
And now here they are, trying to dress Mitt for success.

Like everything else in Freeperville, if you're a Republican, it's okay, you get a free pass on anything from hypocrisy to child molestation. :grr:

14. Maybe Mitt should consider posing in his underwear.
It worked for Marky Mark.
