When These 6 People Think You Blew It, You Know Your Campaign Is In Trouble

[XemaSab]

1.
"The overall impression of Romney at this event is of someone who overheard some conservative cocktail chatter and maybe read a conservative blog or two, and is thoughtlessly repeating back what he heard and read." — Rich Lowry, National Review (conservative magazine)

2.
"Who are these freeloaders? Is it the Iraq war veteran who goes to the V.A.? Is it the student getting a loan to go to college? Is it the retiree on Social Security or Medicare? ... The people who receive the disproportionate share of government spending are not big-government lovers. They are Republicans. They are senior citizens. They are white men with high school degrees. " — David Brooks (conservative columnist), New York Times

3.
"It remains important for the country that Romney wins in November (unless he chooses to step down and we get the Ryan-Rubio ticket we deserve!). But that shouldn't blind us to the fact that Romney's comments ... are stupid and arrogant." — Bill Kristol, The Weekly Standard (conservative magazine)

4.
"I found the presser not horrible, which is about as much praise as I can muster right now." — Daniel Foster, National Review

1. The first one reminds me of what I said about W.

When he talked about business and economics, it sounded like he was in a room where a bunch of guys were talking and he heard bits and pieces and tried to repeat it. He would talk about "drivers" and "cost comparisons" and he would just trail off and say "it's complicated".

2. What I find interesting and almost amusing is that almost any of these "commentators"

might have been, could have been or possibly wanted to be included in that cozy little moneylove fest. Not one peep would we have heard. But it's the old ... "I'm sorry ... sorry I got caught."

"He said he has a terrific campaign. Actually he doesn't. He says that the campaign workers are working well together, well, actually, no, they're not working well together, and that his campaign's going in the right direction. No, it's not. And this is not being said by liberals ... these are conservatives. ... Savannah, I'm going to go put a bag over my head now, so I will talk to you soon." — Joe Scarborough, conservative pundit and former Republican congressman

5. They're watching the swirling water of the Republican party circling the drain

I'm sure that knot in their gut hurts. It sure hurt us for 8 years.
