Mitt Romney says he rejects efforts to use President Barack Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, in ads attacking the president, insisting the campaign should remain focused on the economy.

"I repudiate the effort by that PAC to promote an ad strategy of the nature they've described," Romney said in an interview with Townhall.com. "I would like to see this campaign focus on the economy, on getting people back to work, on seeing rising incomes and growing prosperity—particularly for those in the middle class of America."

“So Romney is committed to losing just as McCain and Dole were before him.”

I don’t think so. Romney’s MO has always been to smear his opponets through a 3rd party while keeping his own petticoats clean. The statement only serves to distance Romney from the smear campaign the PACs are about to unleash against Obama.

As much as I throughly detest Romney, I have to admit that he plays hardball behind the scenes (look what he did to both Gingrich and Santorum in the primaries)......count on his surrogates to push the 2012 campaign into the sty. Obama is about to get seriously muddy (or have his facade of lies taken down). As I said above, as much as I dislike Romney, it’ll be fun watching him give Obama a good mud bath. Can’t wait to hear both Obama and the media to squeal!

Now if we can just get him to extend his middle finger at Obama in the same manner that Obama did at McCain in 2008 Presidential debates I might even change my mind and vote for Mittens....(not)!

I think we see it about the same way. Obama can’t win on his record. The election is Romney’s to lose if he makes some bone headed idiotic mistakes. If he stays on message about the economic pain of the masses under Obama, he should win.
