What's interesting to me is all these former adversaries of Romney now campaigning for him, but you never hear a word they've said!

In other words, Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Palin, Perry and Santorum are all campaigning for Romney, but the drivebys aren't reporting what they say...

I think a lot of what we're getting frustrated about is due to the driveby media, not necessarily the campaign.

Nevertheless, I would love to see Obama get pummeled! There's so much ammunition—the TRUTH—would certainly hurt him. But I don't know if I'm not hearing it because Romney isn't saying it, vice the media simply being a megaphone for Obama and his crew while ignoring Mitt and his.

What do you all think?

At some point our side has to say they don’t believe the polls and have been weighted to help the Dems for so long they have no credibility.

We also need to accuse the RATagandists of having no credibility due to their failure to properly cover the Romney campaign.

FOX too.

I don’t know if you remember, but back in 2000 after Bush got the nomination and gave a wonderful acceptance speech, thee was suddenly a news black-out on him. Certain dubious characters on FR started calling him a lazy campaigner.

A couple of other Freepers and I started doing the “Bush Cheney 2000 Victory Tour” threads with reports by Freepers who were AT Bush appearances, complete with photos, just to prove that Bush was, indeed, campaigning.

The media has nothing to hit Romney with, except old stuff like the recycled Bain. He’s good-looking and a much better speaker than Obama. He’s resenting ideas which resonate with a lot of the voters.

So, the logical step by the media is to simply refuse to air his appearances.

Did you know he and Ann did a sit-down interview with Oprah this week? I assume it is for her magazine.

An obvious media obfuscation is Obama has been touting raising taxes on the rich, yet the media just wants to show a Romney response, when they should get a real non-Democrat Economist to explain the consequences of taxing more out of the private sector.

Heard an interesting comment regarding both campaigns and their advertising.
“Obama’s camp is surprised to have to campaign in about TEN states at this early stage of the campaign”
That means that there is limited to no political advertising in FORTY states, Texas being one of these states that is NOT seeing any presidential campaign advertising.

The one piece of good news on this front is that the local affiliates of the left wing media are getting no financial benefits from either the Republicans or the Democrats.

I think it is just not being reported.

Perry is very active in campaigning for Mitt.

All the Dallas paper says about Perry is criticizing him for saying Texas won’t participate in the Obama medicaid program.

Just look at the headlines about Mitt’s appearance at the NAACP ... Mitt booed is all you hear. When actually he was cheered on at least 3 occasions, once when he mentioned supporting conventional marriage, once when he mentioned supporting the pipeline and ??? forget the other time.

He also received a standing ovation at the end. I think they appreciated him coming. Obama took a pass.
