The right message from a credible messenger who appears to be fairly honest and can be trusted which is saying something for anyone of either party who has spent more than a decade in the know-nothing, do-nothing legislative branch in D C.
Mittens speaks tommorrow what will be his message? Who will he be speaking to? Ryan can credibly attack Obamacare and can be trusted when he says that he wants to abolish it.
Mittens will have trouble connecting with the middle class on the repeal of Obamacare when his term as a blue state governor of the bluest state in the union was defined by Obamacare when Barry was just a typical Cook County machine politician learning how to game the social welfare state to gain political power and win elections.
Mittens is going to have a hard time following Ryan from where I sit.
Well, I'm middle class and he connects with me. I move in middle class circles as well as working class circles....and he connects with them.
I'm reminded of that old rascal, FDR, a member of the 1% who easily connected with the middle and lower classes and still does to this day. We all know plenty of old geezer Dems and Palm Beach-type condo-commando harridans who are STILL pulling the lever for FDR when they go to vote.
FDR always had that aristocratic bearing, that aristocratic accent......and his background was wealth, privilege and an education at snooty Eastern schools. No matter if he sat in front of an everyday fireplace to deliver his homilys, he still always came across as a prime example of the ruling class.
But he still "connected" with the voters.
Romney has no aristocratic airs, speaks normally and from all accounts is a friendly, self-effacing guy who mixes with any and all folks he meets or works with.....and they like him very much.
So, when it's parroted incessantly that Romney HAS TO CONNECT WITH THE MIDDLE CLASS I just get tired of it....it's some kind of hopeful self-fulfilling prophecy attempt that makes no sense whatsoever and has no basis in reality.
