Castellanos: Romney should give up on rallies

[grantcart]

This is pretty funny.

Castellanos, who would alone compel me not to watch CNN if there weren't any other, came out with some advice that Romney should just stop with the daily rally.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/27/opinion/castellanos-romney-rallies/index.html

"Every time I turn on my TV, it's the same political rally with Paul Ryan and the same crowd around him, state after state after state, and it looks like a political beauty pageant. And it looks like politics, not like governing. You don't want to run for president looking like a candidate. You want to run for president looking like a president.

Limbaugh took offense and another inter Republican fight fest has been engaged.

And a good time was held by all, until somebody put out a Republican's eye out and then the mirth only increased ten fold.

1. "Castellanos, who would alone compel me not to watch CNN if there weren't any other"

That.

Bloody annoying ads embedded in that article too >.>

4. Castellanos is much more preferable to some of the other right-wingers on CNN

Ari Fleischer, Mary Matalin, & Erik Erikson are much more vile.

8. Wolf Blitzer, Candy Crowley

John King - I know, not official republican operatives, but smarmy right wing teet sucking scumbags ...

Matalin is atrocious ...

10. Yes I agree

Alex C is a political strategist and pretty good at it. He has to play the partisan hack for the cameras but in reality it is a chess game for him.
I have had lunch with him (mutual friends) in DC and he is actually pretty easy guy to get along with in person even if you are on other side of political coin.
He is practical and we should be glad he is not advising Romney. He would be better than the idiots RR have now.

2. baa haa

I heard pigboy talking about this, the oxy spin is that Castellanos didn't like the -ahem- large crowds r/r was pulling in. Really, he said those small crowd claims were bs, the problem was mitt looked too popular.
Face. Palm.

5. You know what seems odd to me? Romney doesn't seem to have an air about him

that he is in trouble. Not one iota. He doesn't even flinch when asked about his dimming prospects.

That is a hard thing to do. If you think back when any other politician was asked about a flailing campaign, sure, they brushed off the polls, but there was an ever-so-slight melancholy.

Maybe it's true, Romney may not be human.

6. ...how exactly is Mitt Romney supposed to spend the next month?

Giving dense policy speeches everywhere he goes?

9. His approval rating may increase if he just takes a vacation ...

... for 38 or so days. The less he runs his pie hole, the better off he is. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to know that.

11. Continue raising money from billionaires to pay for attack ads...

...That way he can hang out with his crowd.

7. When someone in your own party tells you that you suck

You know you suck. His new campaign theme song should be "Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I guess I'll go eat worms"
