O.M.G. Wht genius told Mitt to do that presser?!?

[catbyte]

Disaster x 1000

[Lex]

1. He made it seem like more of an emergency

instead of less for his campaign.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

2. I didn't get the point of it all

He didn't exactly try to explain his remarks (if they can be explained) or even try to rehabilitate his position. All he said was that his words were inelegant. Is that really a point? Is that something that desperately needed to be said asap? He could have perhaps come up with something more convincing, or at least tried.

[aletier_v]

3. Dude, he's a liar

But even he is uncomfortable with it.

He ruined thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of lives.

That HAS to weigh on your soul at some point.

[nmbluesky]

4. He still think he is president.

[Cha]

21. You got that

right, nmbluesky!

[ProSense]

5. Desperation.

What's he going to do when more information comes out as David Corn said?

[ibegurpard]

6. more please!

we have LOTS of downticket races that could use the help!

[Cha]

20. A Weekend

presser? The smirk that won't stop giving?

[gateley]

7. I missed it -- what presser?

[aletier_v]

9. The End-Of-Romney-As-We-Knew-It Presser! :)

[gateley]

11. I think I just saw it on the front page -- going to watch now.

[Tx4obama]

22. Did you find it? n/t

[gateley]

24. Hi -- yes! Wow! The guy just keeps digging himself deeper.

I love it!

[Indpndnt]

8. I found it very useful.

Willard's words tonight that his remarks on the video were "off the cuff" are very informative. That means they were his true feelings. Thanks, Willard! I can use that to show every repub I know just what a tool you are.

[renie408]

10. Did they not learn anything last week when he was making statements late at night that came back to

bite him in the ass?

[Arugula Latte]

12. He was smirking and flinching the whole time.

He is odious.

[Cha]

19. Heinous comes to

mind..and I didn't see it.

[Arugula Latte]

38. It's hard to watch him.

It's starting to make me feel queasy.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. Was it just me or did Romney look disheveled?

As if Stuart Stevens had been beating him over the head with an Etch-a-Sketch?

[qazplm]

14. nearly every strategic and tactical decision

he's made has been nonsensical to me this election.

[lumpy]

28. Nonsensical but evil.

[lpbk2713]

15. Now Ryan will have to come up with something real stupid to take the heat off Mittens.

It's a never ending cycle with these two.

[cash__whatiwant]

16. even his hair was all over the place. nt

[Cha]

18. I've read that.. just came from

a wind tunnel?

[flamingdem]

25. You know how it gets at those NY sex parties! n/t

[Cha]

17. Raises hand..

Stuart Stevens?

[Angry Dragon]

23. Weekend at Bernie's

Willard is playing Bernie

[lumpy]

26. He is the genius. Is this guy a fascist ?

n

[JohnnyRingo]

27. He had to do something.

I noticed when pressed to explain how he would have made his point in a more campaign-friendy way he said he'll articulate that on a future date. He didn't even have time to Etch-a-Sketch a story yet.

This campaign is in man the lifeboats mode now. With hands scrambling the deck in terror it's hard to organize and save the ship. I'm sure they'll begin bailing water tomorrow, but that's one big ice berg they hit.

[PD Turk]

29. Icarus

It's his Icarus moment and I hope, the Icarus moment for the repug party. Hubris carried them too high now the wax is melting and the feathers are coming off, at least I hope that's what we are seeing

[SweetieD]

30. It was foolish of him

Not sure what the urgency was for him to give the presser the same day. He should've just acted like it was no big deal. He's got terrible advisers. I almost wonder if they aren't purposefully sabotoging him. Oh well I don't care. I just hope people remember this video on election day.

[XemaSab]

35. I think he was hoping that the morning headlines would be

"Rmoney holds presser to explain history of bowel problems"

and not

"Rmoney shits all over self in public."

MoJo's second wave first thing tomorrow should kill that strategy, however.

[grasswire]

31. it made the freepers happy

I went over to see how they are feeling about this. They liked what he said in the video speech, and they like that he's not apologizing tonight.

So I guess he pleased his base.

[MFM008]

33. So I guess he pleased his base.

so does a wallow in mud...

[DemKittyNC]

34. They are estatic

that their Overlord is telling them they are freeloading hippies and that he is going to take their Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid from them. Oh JOY!

[regnaD kciN]

36. Don't you know that every Freeper...

...thinks of himself or (much less frequently) herself as an Ayn Randian superman/woman, only needing to be freed from the shackles of a totalitarian government bent on destroying the strong to help the parasitical weak before they can bring forth the Promethian fire of their genius that will transform the world?

[aletier_v]

37. Yes, thst's why they always threaten to "go Galt"

Because they're so indispensable that we can't live without them.

[DemKittyNC]

32. I said it before

and I will say it again... This is better then the MOVIES! Everyday just about something amazingly stupid slimes it's way out of Rmoney's campaign.
