That's because Romney keeps feeding them by saying stupid stuff that keeps them busy.
That may be the most painful part of it in November, that this wealth of issues appeared to use against Obama and yet Republicans failed to take advantage of it. Romney's whole plan was to run on nothing and let the economy sweep him into victory. It was to not take any specific positions and to not go after Obama too strongly. You have to beat something with something.
Obama fills the vacuum on R+R and then Romney feeds it by saying dumb stuff that makes him look bad and the MSM feeds on that instead of Obama's problems.
Talk to Romney. Tell him to STOP making himself the story and to start making Obama the story.
“Tell him to STOP making himself the story”
Truthfully, is Romney making himself the story...or is the MSM making him the negative story?
