Romney Digs In on Obama as Internet Date
As noted in this space, potential vice presidential selection Mitt Romney test-drove a new McCain campaign attack line yesterday morning: Barack Obama is like an Internet date. Apparently Romney thought the ride felt good, felt mighty good. This afternoon CNN's Wolf Blitzer pressed him on the line, and Romney elaborated just enough to make you slightly curious if he'd maybe ever been on an actual Internet date:
On second thought, yeah no way Romney has dabbled in Internet dating. Tiddlywinks? That reference pretty much betrays Mitt's social milieu. TPMtv just imagines heated moments during Tiddlywinks Night at the Romney household where Mitt jumps up and screams at wife Ann, "You can't play that wink I squopped it YOU CAN'T PLAY THAT WINK!!!"

Romney is a weak Bush yes-man. Obviously they will have to put Jed Bush in the White House to run it when McCain can no longer remember his own name.

I'm betting the Bush brand is kaput. Not even Jeb can rescue it now.

That guy, Romney, is the absolute archetype of an empty suit. I mean, there is simply nothing, NOTHING, to him in the way of substance. "I've been a Hunter all my life", "Let's Double Guantanamo", "Lifelong Mormon who was pro-choice then anti-choice". I hope he's the pick for veep.

Bush only "won" by 1 percent in 2004, even less in 2000 and the GOP was fine with it. They treated that 1 percent like it was a mandate.

"We've heard him give great speeches on hope and audacity..."
How many speeches has he given about audacity? Or is Romney just thinking about the "Audacity of Hope"?

Yeah I really, really loved that line myself. We all remember Barack Obama's momentous July 4th speech in which he laid out his vision for audacity in America. And of course on the stump he regularly discusses his proposal to achieve audacity independence.

The funny thing is that Obama gives the initial impression of superficiality and slickness, but the more you look, the more substantive he looks.

I love Romney. Wolf Blitzer shaking his disgruntled jowls that anyone would dare criticize the democratic nominee (as if that implies he has accomplished something).
Romney is one of the very few out there with enough of a spine to tell the media about the issues for what they really are. Romney is difficult to swallow from so many angles; you can't bribe him; he already has money and is as clean as a whistle as far as his life and family goes, you can't discredit him; he's educated and speaks his mind regardless of what others think, you can't play him down; because he's a self-made, proven success in the free market economy, management, and government. I'm beginning to more fully understand why evangelical leaders hate him (he won't be bought, bullied, or forced into their political interests), media hates him because he highlights the truth for what it really is, and Democrats hate him because he a legitimate, charismatic threat to their political agenda. These Romney hate groups then try to spin Romney as an opportunist and panderer! Ha, Ha! I'm 1000% behind Romney as VP. We need more men like Romney in Washington.
