Stern-faced Romney aides winced at times as Eastwood's remarks stretched on. On a night where virtually every moment was scripted, Eastwood was among the only speakers not reading from a teleprompter as he spoke. It was blank.

1. They KNOW what the headlines will read tomorrow morning!

5. Yep. Clint, Clint, Clint, Romney, Clint Clint, Clint.

2. That's pretty interesting

to me, Kadie. A loose cannon. Clint rattled off that garbage off the top of his head. Lots of gopropaganda stored in there.

4. It was really odd to watch.

The way he rambled on. I am surprised they let him go up there without a prepared speech.

[Cha]

6. It's Clint Eastwood..they thought they were Lucky to have him apparently..

but...

"TAMPA — Mitt Romney took a chance on Clint Eastwood, but the only person whose day was made was Barack Obama's."

7. they should have expected this when Clint said "feel lucky, punk?" before he walked out. n/t

[Cha]

8. Did he really?! Obviously,

I missed the speech but, love seeing everyone's reaction who did. If I ever want to get pissed there's a vid already up somewhere.

3. "He can't do that to himself" sure isn't a Mormon type of joke.

Very, very strange humor in this setting.

9. What likely happened:

Republicans thought they scored with Clint. They were giddy. Weird Willard heard the plan, Clint's skit. Being the friggin geek and petty asshole he is, he said, "neato." Clint scolding an invisible Obama, what could be better? (Mitt thought)

Like his overseas trip, now come the lies. Mitt and his campaign had no idea.

"the Romney campaign had not prepared sufficiently for ‘a visit of this magnitude’"

How the hell does a Presidential candidate allow this shit to happen on the night of his speech?
