It's really remarkable how the party is turning on their nominee (who they never really wanted in the first place).
It makes me think one of two things is happening. Either they're hoping for this to boil over to the convention because they have another candidate (Jeb Bush?) quietly waiting in the wings to step up "for the good of the party" and unite them.
OR, internally they've already given up on 2012 and are looking ahead to 2016.
I think they hate Obama too much to not even try. To just 'let him have it' does not make sense judging by their track record over the past 4 years.I would think if they are considering a new candidate that they would have dropped some settle hints by now.Yesterday George W.Bush publicly endorsed Mitt Romney and it did not even make the news.A former President endorsing a Political Candidate and the Romney Campaign has not even released a statement or commented on it,let alone the media?

As of this week, between Romney, the RNC and right-wing PACS, Obama is being outspent better than 2-1 in the top 10 battleground media markets. Perhaps those rich old white men will buy themselves a presidnet after all.
Or perhaps they will simply spend a lot of money on a candidate no one votes for.
Yesterday George W.Bush publicly endorsed Mitt Romney and it did not even make the news.
At this point, there simply isn't anything newsworthy about endorsing Romney. And it's no surprise that Bush waited until his endorsement is meaningless.
Bush has been very adamant about staying out of the public's eye.
Could it be because he knows most Americans find him responsible for the economic mess we are in?
Did you know George Bush was promoting a new book in which he wrote the forward to? Whats the book about? Economic Growth. Yeah, like Dubya,the man responsible for our economic depression thinks the world wants to hear his thoughts on economic growth.

What do we want from Mitt? BLOOD? Well, it's our tough luck if we do. Robots don't have blood.
But robots can take blood.
I don't think he's a robot. I think he's Vulcan.

We wish Mitt Romney had 25% of Zach Quinto's heart.

Watching A FACE IN THE CROWD tonite on TCM (again!) knocked my brain back in place. Gawd, that Schulberg was a visionary genius. Coulda been written yesterday.1957.
The unholy marriage of media and politics.
Adore that movie! A greaat commentary on fame and media.
I thought this was remarkably clear-eyed (and fair) on the whole Bain issue.
