Juan Cole: Top Ten Bad Signs for Romney

1. The Fraternal Order of Police has refused to endorse Romney for president. This is the first time for 98 years they don’t have a favored candidate. Romney’s support of Wisconsin-style gutting of state labor unions (like. uh, the FOP) rather put them off.

3. The Romney campaign appears to have ripped off Barack Obama’s web site.

7. Romney’s assertion that he is not in the race ‘to heal the planet’ has angered conservationists.

9. Even Fox Cable News, which has hired Romney advisers to comment on his campaign and is generally Republican TV all day every day, is " target="_blank">fed up with Romney for never offering any details of his plans for the country

Anyone who cares deeply about that issue has already jumped from the RW yacht.

Conservationists probably weren't voting for him even before he said that.

#9 was quite surprising, however.

And what a black heart it is!!

I'll bet that after all the support for the Teabaggers Romney/Lyin Ryan thought
they could spew any kind of anti-Obama position and move ahead in the polls.

Now Romney is kinda supporting some of the Obamacare issues

It really is an election based on two sets of values
but tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber seem to keep saying all the wrong things these days.

I hope all this continues for the next 6 weeks!
