Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and U.S. Senator Rob Portman, R-Ohio, talk after a campaign rally in Cincinnati, Ohio September 1, 2012.
WEST WINDSOR, VT -- Ohio Sen. Rob Portman came close to being Mitt Romney's most important defender, but, starting Tuesday, he is the Republican presidential nominee's biggest rival.
Portman joined the Republican presidential nominee on Tuesday to help out with preparations for this fall's debates. Portman is playing the role of President Obama during these initial practice sessions located in the remote woods of Vermont.
"It's quiet and there are no distractions," said a senior Romney adviser of the 134-acre estate of former Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey. It's not in a swing state and far from any major TV markets.
Portman was among the top contenders to be chosen as Romney's running mate. But now, instead of spending his days campaigning throughout the country, he is holed up with top Romney advisers preparing for three of the most important evenings of the presidential race. Top Romney aides Beth Myers, Stuart Stevens, Lanhee Chen, Fehrnstrom, Ed Gillespie and Peter Flaherty have all descended upon the home, as well.
It's a role Portman knows well, having played Obama during Sen. John McCain's practice presidential debates in 2008.
The Romney campaign, backed by the RNC, is holding its own counter-convention in Charlotte this week, primarily challenging the president's record on the economy. Andrea Saul discusses.
And while this may be familiar territory for Portman, it is relatively unexplored terrain for Romney. Even after participating in 19 debates throughout last fall and the early part of 2012, Romney never prepared by engaging in mock debates. Instead, advisers say, the former Massachusetts governor preferred to sit with advisers and float possible questions and answers. But, a one-on-one debate is different, and that is why Portman is in The Green Mountain State.

I can feel like excitement all the way over here! lol
I'm sure Willard will ride his convention bump like a pony!
Ooops... my bad, there was NO bump, he actually LOST a point!
Given Willard's debate performances during the Republican primary, he's going to need more than Portman to work a miracle! ;o)
Wait till Obamao runs on his record LMAO!!!
Willard can stand in wonder at the trees being the right height!
Willard says the Rafalca thingy is Queen Ann, Feisty! She should be the one coaching him, yup, that would just about do it.......bump, bumpety, bump over the hills and through the woods he goes......lost
Sure hope the "Dick" isn't quail hunting in that neck of the woods! ;o)
Feisty,
The debates are over a month away.
I thought Romney has been running since 2008.
I think he does not know the issues or their history. He is really going to speed read....
And then he can work on his style, etc....
Watching him in the primaries he was not that good.
Ah Yes!...The Dick!...Why wasn't he at their confab last week, guess his new heart couldn't stand all the excitment!
Good question, now that he no longer is restricted by the length of his extension cord!
Come to think of it, Dubya wasn't there either... Odd...
Northstar,
Not to quibble but Willard's been running since 2002... ;o)
Because it's their turn!
Feisty,
thanks, time flies.... LOL
I know... it's seems like only yesterday! lol
Mitten's will need all the help he can get. I wonder if Portman will be at the debates to wring out Mitt's hair after O is done mopping up the floor with him.

O&Joe 2012
The race is tied. How can you say there wasn't a bump?
The Repubes were predicting an 8 to 10 pt bump, LOL. They did get a pt or two, but by next Monday, O will start to surge, and little Mitten's might as well go home...

O&Joe 2012
they were? i didnt watch the RNC but i dont recall hearing or reading that anywhere
GM, Bin Laden. must suck for election to be in Nov and not right after the DNC eh
I don't think Portman can help, just saw the video of Ted Kennedy slapping Romney around the rostrum. Lopsided.
they were? i didnt watch the RNC but i dont recall hearing or reading that anywhere
Caesar, Actually is was stated by one of the media at the RNC convention, but I can't remember who, or who he was quoting. However, after picking his VEEP and the convention, his poll bump didn't amount to a hill of beans
It doesn't matter though. O's polls will take off anyway
why havent they now? I mean after all he 'has it in the bag' . let me guess some sort of strategy. Thanks for answering the question, some how i knew it was bogus statement you made. you at least had the cahoneys to man up and said 'i dunno'.
Convention time is downtime, a good businessman takes advantage of it. To be ready you must practice early, and be prepared for anything.
Good politicians tend to run with whatever success they garnered from the Convention. The two worlds are different.
And Obama has picked John Kerry as a 'stand in' for Romney, so what's the big deal?
It must be a slow news day.
I noticed that none of the major news media mentioned the fact that the National Debt went over $16 TRILLION today. At this time in 2008, it was only $9.6 Trillion - for an increase of $6.4 Trillion since then. I guess that's more of that 'Change we can Believe in' that Obama promised.
I guess that might make Obama look bad - so shhhhhhhhhhhush.
At this time in 2008 America was on the edge of going into a disastrous depression. Obama was handed 2 wars, an economy going down the hill of a roller coaster, an edcaution system broken, a sketchy foreign policy, and a Vice President literally running the government. President Obama has turned the recession around and slowly we are moving back up, we have a very clear foregin policy, tropps have been brought home from Iraq and soon Afghansitan, we are making strong progress in edcuation, and the auto industry is once again doing well and have been able to do so well that they are working 3 shifts and hiring.
Obama/Biden 2012
Tom,
Hate to break this to you...but you are sorely misinformed... "turned the recession around"?? Is that the slick phrase for the millions still unemployed 3 1/2 years after Obama has been in office? As for the troops home..guess what..that was a plan laid out under Bush...did you forgot that? Auto industry that is now the puppet of the unions thank to Obama...yes...we are definitely going over the edge!
Vote Romney!
The Mormon vs. The Moron
The most important question in this election cycle is who would you want protecting you from the Zombie apacolypse? Would it be Mr. Etch-a-Sketch hide my money off-shore? Or, will it be Mr. Cool, the guy who nailed Bin Laden?
The choice is clear.
The problems with banking were apparent and documented to the Democratic congress by Bernanke adn Paulson. They chose to ignore what was happening.
Loans started being denied to less credit worthy businesses starting in 2007 and continued to increase until the crash. I saw less and less new site design requests over that period in Hospitality. Almost none after January 2009. The only two working deals were the ones with the best credit history and record of success.
I see Willard has reentered the Mittness protection program.
Will Ryan be joining him in avoiding reporters, or will they both just ignore voters questions ?
President Obama is going to wipe the "Debate Floor" with the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief." Intellectually the "Romulian" is Elementary in his Poltical Policies, and even more pathetic in his "Evil Economic Policy." Yes America! The "Romulian" needs to practice to be not continuing to be unrelatable, uninformed, and out of touch with 99% of America. The President is much more Presidential in his "Political Personality" than the GOP/RNC "Flip-Flopper" will ever be. The President is able to think clearly, speak clearly, and react clearly to the GOP/RNC "Zombie." The President has been dealing with the toughest world leaders for the past 4 Years, and "Romulian Romney" is not even close to the intellectual ability of these leaders. No practicing will ever help "Romulian Romney" in trying to debate the most capable President since FDR. That is fact!
And yet you state that Romney is "out of touch with 99% of America." I note that when people resort to name calling, like Romulian and Zombie, they use what they think are cute phrases to mask their misrepresentation of the facts. (And that applies to Republicans and Democrats.)
Republicans are not people.
Will Portman teach him how to evade giving the American People his Tax Returns? Mit has many accounts and give them thousands of dollars and he's had delay after delay for his 2011 returns and refuses to give us his prior even 5 years of tax returns. But Ann says it would just give us Amunition, and that makes a lot of sense.
Mitt has no excuse for delaying any tax return this guy's worth $250 Million dollars with many employees, tax accountants. Will it reveal his Tax Havens in the Caymens? Or will it reveal that he paid 0 taxes.
We already know Mit paid 75% less than working Americans because he paid 13%
America why pick a person who pays 75% less than you do as revealed in his only tax return submitted and is it complete? Hardly!
Pick someone who not Hiding the Banana!
Prividledge, Mitt doesn't believe he owe your any explaination of how he has or hasn't paid Federal Income Taxes, the Magic word is "Federal Income Taxes" which the entire Media refuses to address.
That would mean that working Americans paid 52%. Please explain what you mean.
Yo SandieLove, Stop drinking the O'Bummer kool-aind and pay attention this time. Invite your CPA or tax attorney over for beer and brats so he can explain Gov. Romney's tax return to you. It is on his web site and over 200 pages long. Also, his taxes are figured on his INVESTMENT income since he does not have a salaried or hourly wage job. Investment income is taxed at a different rate than our hourly or salaried incomes. Also, he does pay taxes. Our family (less than $50,000 1 earner income) applies part if not all of any refund toward next years taxes and we tithe currently @ 11 % of pre-tax income. The Romneys may also do the same thing by applying any refund to next years tax bill.
Romney is experiencing what most people should be able to experience at retirement. A retirement on investments that only require a 15% tax rate. Most of us, because of the graduated tax scale, which hits the middle income earners harder and harder won't see this kind of life. We are forced to live off Social Security which is invested in our government at a return less than the rate of inflation and whatever extra we can sock away in a 401k.
Most people, like 95%, will never have a 401k that can support his kind of life in retirement. And the lower 50% may possibly have zero in a 401k. I've seen the estimate at 60% also, of nothing saved. Of course, someone in a minimum wage job is living paycheck to paycheck, and Social Security is all they'll have for retirement.
Carol saying "The Romney may also" is like saying anything is possible. Stop trying to protect the Romneys. What Americans do you know working Americans that pay only 13% Federal Income Taxes. Social Security those Seniors living on Social Security and their possible pensions pay more than that. Heck, My Day pays more than Romney in Retirement on meger pension and Social Security.
Go Figure, does that sound right to you? Seniors paying more than someone who aspires to be President? He pays less taxes, and we still don't know if it's Federal Income Taxes, there is a difference.
Why on his website, why not make the Actual income tax return Public, he has NOT!
The President can will run on his record and then we'll get to see what the agenda for the next 4 years of Romney will be compared to the next 4 years of what President Obama is and have an up or down vote on it. Simple stuff that I can't wait to be debated.
Feisty: Obama will clean Mittens clock in a New York second !! Wait till he gets to foreign policy,drill baby drill,the top 1%ers,the disaster relief funds Repubs tried to stop,his tax returns,their lame plans that only benefit the rich,Medicare,abortion rights,women's rights,and on and on !! Mittens is toast,period.
Maria,
I can't wait! It will be delicious!
Turn out the lights, the party will be over!
Make sure you have plenty of *popcorn* on hand! ☺
wait until Mitt gets a question he can't or won't answer. You'll know it, because he'll start stuttering. By the end of the debate, he'll be talking like Charlie Callas.
Then, we will get a glimpse of his infamous temper!
Neither him or his old lady like to be challenged!
It's beneath them...
Can't wait for Willard to do that stupid giggle he does when he can't answer or defend something.
Willard will be nervously laughing throughout the debates and Portman can't save him!...
The moderators must be ever villigent and maintain control!
Newt Gingrich is a far better debater than Obama. Romney wiped the floor with Gingrich in Florida. You way overestimate Obama.
Is outright lying an inherited Republican trait? Just like the candidates, you sure do a lot of it. As much as I hate Newt the Snoot, he made Willard look like a fifth grader. Hell, Mitt had trouble against Santorum and even (gasp!) Rick Perry. I think you're in for a big surprise if you think the POTUS will come unprepared.
Yes, but Mitt also drew Santorum into a trap. The trap wasn't as damaging as the trap Mitt drew Gingrich into. Obama is prone to falling into a trap, but most of the time he tries to set them.
Let me give you a hint, the tax return issue is a trap.
Newt would have been a rather scary adversary in a debate - fortunately he could not overcome his past nor his troubled campaign issues. (And good grief CALISTA as first lady?? The horror!)
Both Obama and Romney are measured speakers, so whoever memorizes their facts and can call out the other on half truths - will come out on top. Neither is a smooth attack dog like Newtie. I predict that Obama will come off sounding more credible, but we'll see.
Feisty I thought everyone likes their presidential candidate looking and acting like a starched shirt just
came off the ironing board lol! man of the peole! NEVER! Obama as we can well see always is a down-to-earth every day man! that is why he should be everyones candidate of choice. After the RNC fiasco last
I am so looking forward to the Democratic Convention this evening enjoy everyone!
Nutty,
Or in Willard's case it's his freshly pressed Mom jeans he wears!
Anyone know why he walks like he has a stick up his ass?
We're gonna show them how it's supposed to be done! ☺
Remember Occupy LOL
Amen tto that Feisty! Nobody does it better! suha! because he really does have it there!
G'nite to all. Heading out of here. Going home to watch the convention opening! Cannot WAIT to see our First Lady shine!
Have a great night everyone! I know I'm going to!
Anyone know why he walks like he has a stick up his ass?
Feisty, Probably because he has a stick up his ass...LOL...

O&Joe 2012
Someone referred to his odd movement to that of a lawn sprinkler!
Great debater: My dad did but I'll never show my tax reports, offshore accounts, never, never, never.
As a conservative , he needs to show that he is a small government guy as well as show us the plan; or a lot of folks are gonna sit home. As far as the taxes, only the crazed left gives a flying f. How about show us obamas transcripts, his real birth certificate, or where the entire stimulus went after it was loaned out to banks, or why housing and jobs are in the crapp er after 4 years of his intellect? He will be blaming bush for the next 4 years left to the leftie retards devices... Also, the Fact is, he can't get congress to do anything nor has he proposed a reasonable budget outside of another 5 trillion that is can kicking which will surely send us to bankruptcy. Having said that, romney needs to show us the plan so we can vote on the future or he doesn't get votes. I would rather see the fiscal cliff than obama lite in office.
Wow Joker. You are living proof that conservatives want the country to fail just to see President Obama look bad.
Why so much hate?
Reasonably-Logical, I have to say that you are neither. Choose another name.
Rubio told you a few nights ago that this is NOT about Obama as a person. It's about him as a President. He HAS failed. There's no future tense about it. And when someone fails at the job, you bring in someone else. Pretty simple.
Romney is sticking close to not revealing his "plan details". He's already admitted no one would vote for him if they knew what they were. I'm sure that's not totally accurate. He's got the Tparty, religious RW whackos ,gay haters and racist votes pretty well locked up. If the president asks him to state a position on an issue the debates may make Romney appear a bit ...well....awkward.
Vet, I disagree. Where did Romney ever say that no one would vote for him if they knew his plans? That sounds more like something Nancy Pelosi would say. Remember when she told us we had to "pass the bill so we could find out what's in it"? Or what about Harry Reid telling the Democrats not to even come out with a budget so that the Republicans didn't have anything to attack?
Thank you for your service to our country, but I do disagree with your opinion of Romney.
my way or the highway ,.,Any idiot can spend a trillion more than they take in. ANY IDIOT. I dont care if put obama or any other troll out there. Its not hard to spend your way to oblivion. And no, romney doesn't have the tea party or the ron paul allegians. NOT even close. If he thinks he can just mosey into office without saying a word. Forget it. No way will he get votes.
Oh my goodness, here you are trolling solo!
What's the matter, can't find your GermanGem's crotch to sniff?
You nitwits usually troll in packs... I have to admire your tenacity! lol
Wow, I think that's the first time Feisty has ever spoken to me. She rarely departs from the script they hand her long enough to interact with the other posters.
It doesn't take a 'pack' to post the truth, Feisty. But it does take a pack to sell a bunch of lies as truth, which is why you're never on here alone.
Incidentally, how much do you get paid for sitting at home and spreading propaganda. I know the Holder justice department set up a bureau of you people, but how much do you get paid for selling your brain to a political party?
you seem to have quite the People Temples following yourself. But even trailer trash gravitates to one toothless leader
The problem is,Willard is a conservative,moderate,independent or liberal depending on who he needs to be.Willard is a chameleon,a dishonest,fake salesman who will say and do anything to become POTUS.His running mate(the lying marathon man) is a pseudo advocate of the people.These guys will take us back to the black and white tv era.They do not have enough money to buy this election.Our country does not want a Commander in Chief that received FOUR DEFERMENTS to keep from serving his country in Vietnam and a running mate who voted to go to war in Iraq.
In the end,the people will make the right decision and that decision will be OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!!!!!!!
That's strange, since the only reason YOU are here is to get your virtual dick wet with someone who photo-shopped her pic!
But hey, who am I to judge the perverts who troll around here...
Feisty, in the last four years, our credit rating was downgraded for the first time, national debt topped 16 trillion, people on foodstamps doubled, the largest tax increase in history was passed, the deficit went up to 104% of GDP, gas prices skyrocketed, and unemployment went over 8% for 43 consecutive months.
Since you're the truth guru around here, explain to me how NONE of the blame for any of those things falls to Obama. This should be interesting. Take them one at a time, please.
(P.S. Gem, I think Feisty's jealous of you. ;) And with good reason!)
What YOU forget horn-dog is, it's thanks to the Republican'ts!
From Standard & Poor's own website on the matter;
Where did I miss where they blame the Democrats?
Figures don't lie... but liars sure figure!
Absolutely, how could I not be jealous of a internet trolling whore who is looking for love in all the wrong places? lol
Feisty, first off, you only attempted to address one issue, but I gave you at least five. I'll assume the rest of your responses are forthcoming. Second, your article makes the incorrect assumption that 'ending the Bush tax cuts' would raise revenue. That's not the case. The Bush tax cuts increased our revenue. The top 1% actually ended up paying over 33% more in taxes after the cuts than before. Why? Because they invested more in our economy. Did you know that if our GDP grew by 4% instead of 2%, we'd make five trillion dollars? That sounds like a decent amount of revenue to me. It's enough to erase Obama's abominable spending, and it doesn't involve raising taxes. But we'll never raise our GDP when we continue with the over-regulations we've seen under Obama.
So you haven't even provided a satisfactory answer for the ONE issue you attempted to answer. Try again, muffin.
Cubs Fan
People who know and understand loyalty, being reasonable, and being longsuffering.
Thanks again, but the mind really is a terrible thing to waste.... I will allow readers to decide who is being more truth full...
FACTS always trump bull@!$%# anyday! ;o)
There isn't enough right wing nitwit gymnastics to change any thing!
In the meantime, go hunt the scent of the stinky German broad... she is absolutely craving something small in her big mouth!
CubsFan..Your points are truthful. Pay no attention to someone like Fiesty, she attacks with vulgar and loses all creditability. Just look at her post.....
"In the meantime, go hunt the scent of the stinky German broad"
"That's strange, since the only reason YOU are here is to get your virtual dick wet with someone who photo-shopped her pic!"
"What's the matter, can't find your GermanGem's crotch to sniff"
My guess is she lacks class.
Chicago Lady,
Yes I must say that her name fits her rather well. She's excessively feisty, but there's unfortunately very little class or substance behind her rantings.
How dense is this man that he needs a month to prepare for a debate!!!!
I can't wait to see Willard make himself reveal just what an empty suit liar he is.
OBAMA 2012!!!!!!!!
Mitt's the liar? Did he lie about wanting to pass a VAT? Nope, that was Obama. What about slashing earmarks to '94 levels? Obama again. What about the Lockerbie bomber? Darn. Obama. Ok, how about eliminating the capital gains tax for small businesses? Airing the debates on C-SPAN? Posting all bills online for five days before signing them? Ending no-bid contracts? Obama, Obama, Obama, and Obama. Hmm. Well, what about taking over GM? Or the Green Cars deal? Or the infanticide bill? Gosh, that's three more for . . . Obama. I think that's ten or twelve so far. How many would you like?
Prepping for the debates shouldn't be too hard. All Mitt has to do is point out all of President Obama's accomplishments.
He sent unemployment over 10% and kept it over 8% for 43 consecutive months; he shot the national debt over 16 trillion dollars as of today; he got our credit rating downgraded for the first time in history; he passed the largest tax increase in the history of the nation; and he doubled the number of people on foodstamps. Throw in the fact that he also raised the deficit to 104% of GDP and broke over 30 campaign promises along the way, and you've got one heck of a record to run on!
All the usual gop lies. You forgot gas prices. Watch the DNC tonight. Listen and learn. This is how the gop wishes it was done. Substance over lies.
I DID forget gas prices! Thanks, Vet. Tell me, though, why do you call what I posted lies? Surely you don't deny the fact that the national debt is now over 16 trillion. Or the fact that there are now double the number of people on foodstamps. Or anything else I posted. I take it you think the "lie" comes in by blaming Obama for it? Well, considering the fact that Obama told Matt Lauer that he'd be a one term president if he couldn't fix the economy in three years, it would seem that Obama was planning on taking credit for the happenings of his Presidency before he saw how lousy they were. Who SHOULD we blame if not the Commander in Chief? Bush would be being blamed if he were still in office, wouldn't he?
(After all, he's still getting blamed now that he's OUT of office, for pity's sake!)
Apparently the taxpayer debt surpassing $16,000,000,000,000.00 today is no big deal on this news site lol.
Will you look at that?
Miss Summer's Eve chimes in...
This is a political chat room... not Match.com!
Get a freaking room and spare us your drama!
Hey Gem. :)
Hi CubsFan! How's it going? Hi dreams too. How are you?
Doing fine. Much better now that you're here, of course. ;) Hey, when you get a minute, click my username and scroll down to the bottom of my profile page. Is the "Leave Comments" tab available at the bottom below the list of my recent comments and all that? Should be under the "Comments and Feedback" label.
Just don't pay your bills dreams of my father. Obama the welfare mamma will take care of us.
Ok Cubs.
Bank of America? lol
Did you all hear that Rahmbo is sending fifty Chicago cops down to the DNC to help as part of their 'movable security'? Apparently, things are so peaceful and serene in the Windy City that he can spare the manpower to head on down to Charlotte and back up the boss.
I will be laughing my but off after Obama takes care of Mittens in the debate.Afterwards Romney will be talking to empty chairs and vending machines-HaHaHa !!
So you're betting on the guy with a record of abject failure over the guy with a record of unmitigated success? I wouldn't advise that you participate in any poker games anytime soon, dear, if those are the kinds of odds you favor.
Cubs: I will bet any time your up to the challenge and actually I am betting on America not on your money bags man that will only help the rich and get us into two more wars !!
All you have is: Blah,blah,blah,blah !!
Well, I'm not betting money with you since that would involve us swapping personal contact info, but if you can think of something, I'm game.
Unfortunately, gambling loses much of its glamor once you take away the chips. About the best we could do is some lame bet involving you apologizing or something when Obama loses. But if you're clever enough to think of something better, lemme know.
FeistyRedHead, I'm SURE that someone with your capacity for verbal floods cannot possibly be speechless yet. Where's your response on the last page?
It's your fault. You just had to mention Anthony Weiner, didn't you? You got her all distracted and frenzied now.
Romney is already acting like Bush- he is vacationing at the family estate.
@ Diane-486994,
He's getting a hearing aid implanted so he can here what the rest of the GOP want him to say before he opens his mouth and inserts foot.
Mitt Your Lying, lies,Lies of the GOP & Paul Ryan TeaWackers, Mitt R. Bain, Citizens United and all the Alec corps : that pays off the RepublicanPUKES Politicians. Its all about the Wealthy getting richer and the middle class getting poorer.....They don't want to help the poor...Who are the one's that leach off the taxpayer. The Wealthy: they get welfare both for themselves an for the Corps. ...But it seems that the Wealthy get away with it ..They steal billions and the few poor steals a few thousands. So what does the GOP want, is Screw the MIddle Class to get even with the few. As I say its the me me me and F everyone else.... The failures of the Republicans party trying to take away SS & Medicare & Health care for Woman so they can give their wealthy Blackmailers more money...To hell with the Poor and Needy. Let them freeze in the winter and stave the Old and Babies,let them die from bad water, do away with the EPA and thats what you'll have, just like all you Tea baggers want...You make me sick with your Me Me Me altitude. Greedy and you all call yourself a REAL Christians, Mormans. What a laugh: Wake up...Sounds like Mitt!!!!!!Fuss up your tax Return: Stop your lieing RYAN:
Obama will clean Romney's clock at the debates simply because Romney is not genuine nor believes half the crap he has spewed. He will look like Clint Eastwood searching for what the hell he was going to say.
Mittens is going to get his clock cleaned three times next month.
They may find it easier if they give him an ear piece and tell him what to say when asked a question and not to say anything if the question is not directed to him. This is a man that can't keep his foot out of his mouth and stumbles every time he isn't scripted. I think what is going to happen is within the first couple of minutes Romney is going to say something stupid like, I like Michigan because the trees are all the right size or I like firing people that work for me just to get the audience laughing and help them to understand who he is, an idiot! Once they realize he is still the same idiot maybe the rest of the blunders and gaffs he makes won't hurt him so much, trust me there are going to be more than a few coming our way. He is not an actor or a politician so remembering a script is not what he does at all. I hope you all get to view what may turn out to be the best night late night comedians might ever have for free dialog. I'll definitely be kicking back with a big 2lb bowl of popcorn and a big gulp LMAO!
Obama is so much smarter than Romney he will chew him up and spit him out like a piece of old chewing gum. I can't wait to watch Mitt stumble through a non-explanation of his non existent economic plan. "Uh, er, uh lower taxes for the wealthy - oops, I mean job creaters"
Romney only needs to remember three phrases ...I am sorry, I misspoke, and I apologize ...what more do they have to say than those three phrases.
Romney, this is going to be more difficult than Clint Eastwood let on with the chair thing at your convention.
