Got to feel sorry for the Romneys'

During an interview early this evening with Radio Iowa, Mrs. Romney directly addressed her fellow Republicans who’ve criticized her husband.


“Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring,” she said. “This is hard and, you know, it’s an important thing that we’re doing right now and it’s an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt’s qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country.”


The criticism and very public hand wringing from Republicans comes as national polls show the race between Romney and President Obama is essentially tied.

Their own side are concerned about him.

It's getting so ugly , back and forth with childish he said/he said, I am more disgusted with this one than in 2008 . Their country is in deep doodoo not because of their leaders but because of the great divide.

Let's not ignore the fact the we also are getting pretty bad here though the campaigns are mercifully short.

I'm sensing the establishment in each party kind of hopes there own guys loses. Probably for a good reason... Like Europe falling apart, middle east about to fal apart, California and some big cities prolbably going bankrupt and whomever ever 'wins', really loses. Did I mention I am an optimist?

And thankfully the good guys keep coming out on top.

Europe isn't falling apart....the Eurozone maybe having problems but the EU is still a stong political union.

Virginia GOP orders affiliate to remove offensive Obama photos from FB page

Virginia Republican Party officials on Tuesday ordered their Mecklenburg County affiliate to remove photos portraying President Obama as a witch doctor, a caveman and a thug from its Facebook page.
The altered photos have been on the Mecklenburg County Republican Committee’s page for months but drew attention outside the rural southwestern enclave after a luncheon event this week with Republican Senate candidate George Allen.

A bit late...but better late than never???


eta....err......

R. Wallace “Wally” Hudson, chairman of the committee, was surprised to hear from a reporter that anyone had taken offense.


“If that group is that sensitive, I’m sorry, they’re just not human,” he said, chuckling. “It’s not American. If they’ve got a problem with it, we’re not going to change what we do.”


He didn’t seem any more inclined to take the state party’s feelings into account when told in a subsequent interview what Mullins had said.


“They can do what they want,” he said, chuckling again. “I’m waiting for the phone call.”


The images were still up as of Tuesday night.


Hudson said he posted most of the images himself, after coming across them online. He said critics were playing “the race card.”

there really isn't a head/desk big enough....
