Romney Camp Dumped RNC SpeechCheat Sheet at the Daily Beast

"SNIP............................................
Just eight days before the most important speech of Mitt Romney's campaign, his top strategist, Stuart Stevens, junked it and created a new one for the Republican National Convention. Politico reports on escalating instability within the Romney campaign that is pushing Obama into an early lead, especially after the disastrous RNC. "The hasty process resulted in a colossal oversight: Romney did not include a salute to troops serving in war zones, and did not mention Al Qaeda or Afghanistan, putting him on the defensive on national security just as the Middle East was about to erupt," Politico reports. Stevens seems to have taken on too much and the results could be disastrous for the campaign.

(36,974 posts)1. It just shows that Romney had no control over his own campaign/convention ...
Every speech that President Obama gives he has a hand in writing.
Even when one of his speech writers writes a speech for him he tells the writer what he basically wants to say, then after the speech is written he EDITS it thoroughly with MANY cuts/additions/rewrites. And sometimes President Obama will chunk the whole thing and rewrite the whole thing himself.
It is apparent that Romney just read what he was given and didn't review the content very closely - a big FAIL.

take the GOP long to be a party filled with conmen and salesmen and with nobody of integrity. Now they prove themselves to be the empty party.
