Later at 11, our investigate team will bring you a special report indicating that water is in fact "wet."

...and yet this slimy character is neck and neck with Obama.

The saddest thing about this is nobody cares, and at this point the American people aren't paying attention.

The Romney team knows this and is taking full advantage.

The long-term strategy is to discredit Obama and encourage the idea that ANYBODY will be better than what we have.

The tactic they are using to accomplish this is to say literally anything--even if it is contradictory to facts or previous positions--in hopes of finding the "magic bullet" that will resonate with voters and cause them to accept their candidate.

The campaigns won't really matter until after the conventions, like always. But if the GOP has a resonant message by that time, they have a shot. They need to get the American people to forget that their policies resuulted in our catastrophic ecnomic woes, two stupid wars, and support for Dark Ages social policy.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the GOP is attempting to get the American people to sacrifice one set of freedoms for the promise of economic growth. That's what the Tea Party did. Promise fiscal this and fiscal that, and then start hammering all the regressive social policies you can day after day, all the while screaming that the current administration isn't doing enough about jobs and wig out about "The Deficit" which the GOP is laregely responsible for creating.

No big deal, he can just change his positions to compensate.

Has he given a speech yet that did??

Will he ever??

It'd be more newsworthy if Romney said one thing that was true. I wouldn't bet on that happening before November 6, however.

I just saw that Willard has lied about the President and the illegal kids getting to stay. Willard says it is an executive order....it's not. It's DHS changing how it enforces the law.

Nothing Willard says is believable. He'll tell them what they want to hear and ride in on his white horse laughing all the way if the repubs vote him in.
