Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod called the Republican convention a "terrible failure" on Sunday and said the event had failed to help Mitt Romney in the polls.

Speaking on Fox News, Axelrod said he "saw no movement" for Romney in the polls during the GOP convention. "I don't really see any bounce," he said.

Axelrod added that the GOP's "snarky attacks and bromides for the base" in Tampa had put Democrats in a strong position to begin their own convention this week in Charlotte, N.C.

"I think the race is exactly where it was before they walked in [to Tampa], and now it's our turn," he said.

Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod called the Republican convention a "terrible failure" on Sunday and said the event had failed to help Mitt Romney in the polls.

He's Setting the stage for feeling good about the DNC being "just" a failure.

I thought the Democrats were boycotting Fox News.

[Laserman]

Wishful thinking and the “Big Lie” approach.

[Cruising For Freedom]

What was he supposed to say — that it was a roaring success?

[Cruising For Freedom]

“Wishcasting” is the perfect term.

It’s only anecdotal, but everyone I knew who watched the convention was fired up.

Axelgrease is paid to say that. It’s his job. I don’t really think it’s newsworthy. Nobody in their right mind would expect that freak to say that it was a giant success. Geeeesh! The “media” has to think we’re all morons like Obama supporters are.

do ya think or axle just spewing more from truthdig.com..where they are pushing Ryans statement about rape being just another form of conception. youg women are posting this on facebook.

[NoobRep]

[KansasGirl]

Keep telling yourself that Axelrod, you evil, orript, lying POS.

Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll
Romney 48
Obozo. 44

Just prior to this past week’s Republican National Convention, Romney trailed the president by two. Today’s four-point advantage confirms that the GOP hopeful has received the expected convention bounce

Hey Axlegrease - I found a movement for you. It’s still warm.

AxelFRAUD should really do something about that Hitler look he has going, or maybe because he’s a Dem it boosts his resume

In other news, Axelrod also stated:

The sun is cold
Daylight only occurs at night
Cows can fly
Dogs meow
Milk comes from rocks
As long as you have grass, don’t complain you have nothing to eat
The middle-class is doing just great
Obama has been a great president
The economy is buzzing along at an incredible speed
We’ve created more jobs than President Ronald Reagan
We have more friends around the world today, than we did in 2008
Our military is stronger than ever before
Our Navy is stronger than it was in 2008
Arab states in the Middle-East adore us
Russia and China are two of our best allies
Britain sucks

I’ll stop here, bandwidth and all...

Suffice it to say, I consider Axelrod to be an enemy of our nation.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yeah, for his side! Just the Clint Eastwood thing almost certainly doomed Mr. Obama to one term.

[Lazamataz]

This guy is so out of it, he’ll be celebrating a massive Obama victory when it is called for Romney.

[Gay State Conservative]

Poor Dave....his guy now has a record to run on (or explain) and there’s not a single sealed divorce file that can be leaked to them.
