Romney surrogate Sununu: 'I wish this president would learn how to be an American'
Romney should hold a TOWN HALL meeting
and answer voters questions.
If Romney really does have the power to bend time and space and "Retire Retroactively":
Surely he can pick a Vice President and do a retroactive protonic reversal later -
WHEN HE CHANGES HIS MIND.

Sandy -
Answering questions is not part of NitMitt's strategy. He's playing the mushroom strategy: Keep everybody in the dark. Beside, he's flip-flopped on every issue possible...
Obama/Biden 2012
Sandy -- He should and the town hall meeting shouldn't just consist of Republicans.
We libs already know the drill. "Lie and the lying lairs..." It's the GOTP that is buying his crap. No townhall required. Face it the Weather Vane will just change his position...
Sandy,i've No idea if you're Female or Male, but if you're the Former, WatchOut, cause RightWingBibleThumpin HYPOCRITS, will be Attacking You for being 1st to Post!
They just can't stand a Woman being 1st at Anything, they think thier Entitled to!
You Betcha!

Rick,
Way to generalize. You may be surprised, but there are plenty men that are not Republicans who cant stand a woman being first at anything,and how dare they feel entitled to anything.
Remember ten paces back is where a women belongs.
Sandy - yeah, like that's going to happen. Romney is even more protected than Palin was and he's just as idiotic when he opens his mouth. His handlers aren't about to let anyone pose a question to him they haven't seen and written the answer to first. Romney can't think on his feet and doesn't even do well when he's reading from the teleprompter. He's just a lousy speaker and overall person!

Theotas, I'ma guessing that is Your Own Personal opinion of Women.
However it's Not Mine! Please do continue on that Course tho, as it seems to tell alot about How You & other likeminded are the reason we(including ME) call the GOP nowadays, "The Republican Taliban"!
Set the cameras up when ya gather around for the Female Flogging or maybe the Execution(MURDER), because a certain Female did'nt Live by MidEvil Standards, set forth by Your ILK!
Sandy, Thank You for your service & My comment was in reference to My Friend Fiesty(a Female) being Attacked Relentlessly by Men, who she beats to Posting thru these Tubes.
You Betcha!

Rick,
I was being sarcastic to point out how silly you sound when you generalize. geez
A Town Hall is a great idea Sandy! I wonder if anyone would show up. Oh, I forgot, Romney could bus the audience in.
Romney's best choices:
1) Marco Rubio
2) Allen West
3)Paul Ryan
Obama's already done. Witness his "campaign". All he has is lies and more lies. We know his record and it screams failure at the top of it's imaginary lungs. I'm waiting on him to come out and say,'if you don't vote for me you're a racist".
But I digress. Any of those men would absolutely seal the deal with the America-loving populace.
Seekingsanity...I can't believe you can say that with a straight face. Obama can't do anything without a teleprompter. If somebody doesn't write it for him, he can't speak. He needs Cyrano de Bergerac to create his image.
It's so sad...Mr. Romney is running and wants you to elect him because of his business acumen and financial prowess...
...and then wants you to believe that he was in control of neither his business ("I took a leave of absence from Bain Capital.") nor his finances ("I set up a blind trust.").
Mr. Romney should pick a VP this week just so he can maybe get people to talk about something else.
Yep he wants us to elect him because he knows bussiness then he pleads ignorance... classic Mitt.
..
Do you think ole filp-flop can make a choice and stand by it? His big money backers will make the choice for him. If he is elected,he will run away to amother missionary thinging when the going gets rough so the money boys will have to have someone they can control as well as they do Mitt

so sorry about the repeat.
danoid
that is the most ignorant thing i've read today, and i read a lot. do you know anything at all about Romney? outside of what you "learn" here?
Me thinks Romney is struggling to understand why everyone doesn't just take his word for things, like in the good ol' days at Bain.
Mitt, do your party a favor and, instead of retiring retroactively, retire as a politician proactively, like before the convention. If the last few weeks showed anything, it's that you are in over your head, and the etch-a-sketch act isn't going to work this time.
Romney will wait until right before the convention to announce who the next Vice President of the United States will be.
Hope that's enough time for Tony Perkins to vet Romney's VP choice.
Most politicians, most economists, hell, most people don't know how the economy works. That's why it's so cyclically disfunctional. From bubble to bust.
Governor Steve Beshear on Tuesday issued an executive order establishing the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange, a requirement of the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA).
States have two decisions to make after the Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act: how to implement the health benefit exchange, and whether to expand Medicaid eligibility to 133 percent of the federal poverty level.
The question of whether states will expand Medicaid eligibility is completely unrelated to the health benefit exchange implementation. Kentucky is still in the process of gathering information on the possible impacts of Medicaid expansion, and as a result, no decision has been made
These are paragraphs from WLEX in Lexington, KY, story just released about 2 hours ago.

Perhaps the campiagn advice from Mark and Domenico is right, that Romney has not responded specifically enough to the attacks.
Here is why I disagree:
--responding specifically to these issues , with documents or minutes of narrow issues about Bain Capital, only raises the coverage of the Obama smears and lies. It becomes a narrative. The attacks won't end, they will keep coming, no matter what Romney says. A response that Obama is trying to change the subject from his failed economic record is a good response, people believe that, it is the truth.
Also, by keeping his powder dry, so to speak, Romney looks more calm, reasoned and Presidential, rather than loweirng to the level of the Obama smear campaign.
Even the liberal media at some point will tire of the nasty falsehoods and have no choice but allow Romney to reasonably attack Obama's failed record as President A few more crappy jobs reports, and Obama will be on the defensive.
