What? His magic underwear didn't help him?

Mitt Romney, my personal favorite front-runner for 2012 on our side just performed a rare *suuuuuhuuckification* on the Hugh Hewitt radio show this afternoon in Hewitt's second segment. (Holy God Hugh, if you ever bore me again as you did in that first segment teasing a Romney appearance, I swear it will be worth my time to drop everything and drive to the OC so I can personally explain to you my displeasure.)
No kidding, I think Mitt is the only one who even stands a chance against Zero. (Will save how he would have mopped the floor with Zero in 2008 for another discussion....)
But today he was off his game bigtime. My kind, slick Mormon friend acted like he had just drank a half gallon jug of Pepsi for the first time. Rather than the crisp, smooth off-teleprompter delivery I have come to envy and respect and marvel at, he was stuttery and jibbing all over the place. It was not the Mitt that could mop floor off-prompter, in other words. He was not tanned, rested, and ready. He conveyed he was over-eager and pressed for time.
So here is my Packaging/Marketing RX for any Mitt operative to relay to my favorite presidential current non-candidate:
1) Man-oh-man, immediately lose that Rumsfeldian rhetorical construct of "....there's no question BUT THAT...." Holy shades-of-Bush-Era Batman! Every moderate will leave the room and not turn out the lights. Keep that radioactive core buried in the past. Do not resuscitate! Mitt, you used it 3 times in 5 minutes, and any such turn of phrase thusly abused makes it stale fast. Remember "Don't touch my hair"? Same deal.
2) Step away from the caffeine and nobody will get hurt. Smooth, baby, smooth. You have the rhetorical chops. Too easy, just let it flow as you did last time. I remember an interview Mitt did in November 2008 after the election. It was so pretty. I remember pulling over to the side of the road and pounding my steering wheel and nearly crying "We nominated the wrong f-ing guy!!!!" because the content of those off the cuff remarks was that good.
People, we will not be getting Rick Santorum, neither John Bolton. But we need to get one thing for sure, and that is away from Zero. So being a realist, I am ready to step over to the last best chance for freedom: Romney/Pawlenty 2012. I am already getting the bumper stickers printed.
Mitt Romney. More of the same.
sniff!
if romney is the rino candidate,
my wife and i are not voting.
You are a plant. Romney is a sham. Do you think you can fool us?
i wont vote for him eather— NEVER.
In fact, I am so sure you are a plant, I have only two words for you: Allen West
No, we don’t want Mitt Romney. I’m pinging JimRob in case he wants to address this vanity himself.
Mancrush on romney?
No, we don’t want Mitt Romney. I’m pinging JimRob in case he wants to address this vanity himself.
Really, the architect for Obamacare (RomneyCare was the blueprint)?
I can’t even figure out what he stands for anymore.
I’m with you. I will not vote for either Romney or Huck!
Romney, Christie the social liberal, and Huck, some choices, a lot of us are going to stay home it looks like.
I know where you are coming from. If we don’t coalesce and do it early, Barry Zero will pound our shit in to dust. That’s 6 more years of the Hammer of Freedom you are looking at. Antonin Scalia may not live that long. You can all read my other stuff, I have me some ideopurity, but this one is a no-brainer for me. He has the bank, the ground game, the organization, and he makea Zero and Axelrod pee their pants at the prospect he makes it through the primary lines. In an open floor debate where Barry is off-prompter, Mitt will crucify. At least give it a think or two....who else could even try? Newt? Tim Pawlenty is right and likable, but he can’t do it alone. They should lash themselves together and rush the WH gate.
“No kidding, I think Mitt is the only one who even stands a chance against Zero.”
You’re full-o-crap!
