Bad Cop...Good Cop

The "47 percent remark" cost Mitt Romney heavily. I do not think it was the single reason why he lost it, but it weighed heavily in his defeat. A disdain so viciously articulated in front of a friendly private audience when you are expected to speak truthfully does not augur well when those who are never supposed to hear it, do get to hear it.

So ask yourself why would Mitt do it again? On a telephone conference call, where he knew reporters from the media would be listening, and surely one or more of them would be recording it.



"Because Mitt is an idiot!"

Nope, wrong, try again.

A Simple Question

Mitt Romney was elected governor of Massachusetts, a Democratic stronghold over the decades. He claims to have worked well with Democrats there, and that people loved what he did for the state.

So why is he trailing Obama in the state polls by a margin of twenty points? Remember, it was just two years ago that Massachusetts elected Scott Brown over Martha Coakley by about four points, and he is still running neck and neck with Elizabeth Warren in the 2012 election polls.
