“The competition was not for naught: it did push Mitt Romney’s run to the right.”
Respectfully, that is worthless. We pushed him to the right in words, not deeds.
Romney’s words are and always have been meaningless.
His campaign inadvertantly told the truth ONE TIME in the past year. That was when his campaign manager described him as an Etch a Sketch.
Aww, make him swear on his magic underwear. That’ll do the trick (duck’n & runn’n)
