Rupert Murdoch not very positive about Romney win

latest tweet:

Rupert Murdoch ?@rupertmurdoch

Met Romney last week. Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless he drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful.

Nobody in the UK dares go after Rupert Murdoch, think about it, he has been hacking into peoples phones for years, he has more dirt on more people than the FBI.

It could be a ruse to get us off our guard.

Perhaps he thinks Mitt does have a good chance and doesn't want to let on . . .

Just thought I'd cover all bases. : )

He is giving tough love here.

Romney's campaign reeks of exactly the kind of amateur group think that Murdoch is talking about here. Romney has surrounded himself with the cult of Romney and that is part of why he comes off so weird.

Talking in platitudes is not going to win an election. You can not be an effective debater just answering in platitudes.

But Romney will not be specific, he tried that against Kennedy and was soundly defeated. Kennedy attacked him on his GOP talking points and his desire to cut education and the department of education. He is not going to make the same mistake.

Obama is going to devastate Romney in the debates.

From what I have seen, they appear unprofessional and unpracticed in front of the camera.
