52. "maybe they just don't give a damn what anyone thinks"

Oh,...they do care all right....

ALL of the photo-ops are for their target audience. FOX "News" viewers. On there, Romney is a heroic figure come to save America from the current regime that stole the last election with an army of New Black Panthers and voter fraud and has almost bankrupted America with payoffs to his base.

They're using the the same enemies the NSDAP used.

Romney has surrounded himself with true believers. They believe a majority of America supports them because FOX "News" ratings are about double MSNBC's. They will continue to try to appeal to ALL of their base right up until the Convention and others in his campaign assume they will take over from there and go all "etch-a-sketch" in the last two weeks as if nobody is watching now.

I half expect them to send Ryan to pose for a picture with the head of the Klan agreeing to accept Catholics and have it be presented as a "Camp David moment" with accompanying picture of their handshake.
