Impact of Romney campaign gaffe
Fox News ^ | March 21, 2012 | Bret Baier

Posted on 03/22/2012 4:07:29 PM PDT by God-fear-republican

ERIC FEHRNSTROM, ROMNEY COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR: I think he hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes, it's almost like an Etch A Sketch you can kind of shake it up and restart all over again.

GINGRICH, R - PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Some people talk about making pledges that are in stone. But the idea that a Romney pledge is on Etch A Sketch, this should remind everyone in the conservative movement why they are very worried about a Romney presidency and about a Romney candidacy. And it really makes you doubt and wonder about his sincerity.

RICK SANTORUM: When the primary is over you're gonna see a very different Mitt Romney. We all knew that. May he at least have the courage to admit what we all knew.

See the video at source, very informative. It will be hard for Romney to wiggle out of this. What a sleek salesman!

Gaffe = Inadvertently saying what you really think.

Amen!!!! I am with you 100% on this one.

Flame me, shoot me, beat me, ... there is nothing you can do to get me to vote for Romney.

Won’t matter as the etch-a-sketch gaffe has ruined any chance he has in Nov.

My wish for the election is for the Senate and the Executive branch to not be under control of the same party. I get nervous when one party has control of both.

America is more prosperous and our liberties are safer when the government can't get anything done, IMHO.

Mitt Romney can take a hike. I don’t even consider him an option. The MA liberal should go back home and leave the rest of us alone.

There are important items down-ballot.

With that remark, the communications director may have just “reset” the primary possibilities. He could hardly have chosen a more perfect image to depict the very reason so many conservatives feel great uneasiness with Romney as the possible nominee. Sometimes these people accidentally speak the truth.

An insightful thought and often overlooked. I tend to agree.

This makes me wonder if Eric Fehrnstron didn't get this metaphor directly from Mitt and his discussions with staff.

Staff doesn't invent this stuff at this point in the campaign. Mitt is the leader...he is the guy telling his staff what the strategy is...and from all I hear, Mitt is a very top down guy!

I believe the only reason that Romney is even still in this thing is because 1. the Republican elite and 2. His money machine.

His advisors are incompetent dumbasses. The campaign they are running is a mess. He doesn’t connect with voters and he’s all over the place. He talks doublespeak and contradiction and no one really believes a word that comes out of his mouth.

The guy had one thing right I think...they need a do-over once the nomination is finally sealed up (if it is) because if they keep going like this they will look like idiots up against Obama and his billion dollars.
