Romney campaign knows it has screwed the pooch

So, so delicious:

Grim-faced aides acknowledged that it was an unusually dark moment, made worse by the self-inflicted, seemingly avoidable nature of the wound. In low-volume, out-of-the-way conversations, a few of them are now wondering whether victory is still possible and whether they are entering McCain-Palin ticket territory.


No, victory is not possible, and yes, they long ago entered McCain-Palin territory. But this is the best part:

Still, a flustered adviser, describing the mood, said that the campaign was turning into a vulgar, unprintable phrase.

being a lazy, shiftless welfare king/queen who doesn't take personal accountability.

Isn't it ironic that as a business man, his specialty was passing out pink slips, and as President, his main achievement would be terminating "Obamacare", Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

I mean, what more do people need to see about this asshole?

from the Egyptian embassy screw-up to the video, is that there is now no excuse for any of the debate moderators to lob any softball questions. There is plenty of material there for hard questions and a serious debate that actually illuminates, for a change.
