This is the day everything changed

[madaboutharry]

I think this day is the day the campaign changed. No longer will the press corps give Romney one inch of slack. They turned against him today, having concluded the man is dangerous.

It is over for him. From this day forward, Romney is on his own.

[Delphinus]

1. I hope you are right.

Hope they see through to what he really (and the Republican party for that matter) is.

[regnaD kciN]

2. Of course, Mittens will claim...

...that the Librul Media was biased against him from the start.

[mick063]

15. He would have said that anyway

No matter how much they kiss his ass to appear balanced.

The GOP crazies have given MSM Stockholm Syndrome. They have to be really, really bad and really, really stupid before MSM will call bullshit.

MSM, by riding the fence, when there is clear evidence of which side is dangerously extreme, has both sides completely disgusted with them. Perhaps MSM longs for another Desert Storm to pool reporters in. Nothing like "Shock and Awe" to sell stories.

3. In your dreams

and mine too.

[freshwest]

26. +1

[gateley]

32. +2

4. From your mouth to G-d's ears!!!! n/t

[mucifer]

5. yeah it doesn't seem to be happening that much on the evening msm news.

That said rmoney's poll numbers aren't so good and he has no momentum.

[robinlynne]

6. I watched ABC news tonight. weirdly anti-Obama. I expected

to see what i ahve seen online, condemnation of Romney. not a shred.

[tibbiit]

10. I was very shocked by the drive home

Radio was screaming against the President and his so called by them "apology's" to the enemy. It was sickening.
I hope they are squelched, but there was no evidence of that on the air.
I am very upset by all of this. I hate putting the added weight on politicians shoulders, but I feel like many people's very lives are in the balance with this election. Obama must not lose!
(I hate thinking these thoughts. Since the age of Smirk the first, and 9-11-01 this country has been insane. I never thought I would be saying that some Republican would be worse than Bush so soon!)

14. then,quit listening to rw radio...

those assholes never were goimg to vote for Obama, and the batshit crazies arent going tomsway independents.

[robinlynne]

43. Ratty, I'm talking ABC, not FOX.

[cbrer]

7. Huuuuge assumption that doesn't deal with the primary reason

The Right nominated him in the first place...Money. I'd like to think that thinking Americans everywhere will see this truth.

But if you don't think there's enough money involved to rig elections in the face of this irrefutable proof of incompetency, think back to Bush/Gore.

[defacto7]

27. this is right on.

When the powers get pushed, they push back. I also wouldn't underestimate the Supreme Court. Even though they are not in the picture at the moment, don't think for a minute they are not in this in preparation for some sort of crisis. Obama has clear and unwavering enemies in that madness.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

34. "I'd like to think that thinking Americans everywhere will see this truth."

"Governor Stevenson, all thinking people are for you!"

"That's not enough. I need a majority."

- Adlai Stevenson

[lonestarnot]

8. Nah. They're making too much money hand over fist as fast as they can haul it in.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. Much more pressure on him now for that first debate

If he has a meltdown it's probably all over. I don't know how Shittens handles pressure but my impression is that he cannot.

[gateley]

35. The few times I've seen him pressed by the media, he gets snippy and irritated.

I hope the moderators are ones that will press both O and Romney. Obama can handle it -- beautifully. Romney -- I agree with you that he can't.

[rustydog]

11. Hw will atill have Fox "News"

[jimlup]

12. The thing is part of the media motivation is the game itself

So one of my working models is that the media says stuff like "well both sides are guilty of doing horrible and stupid thing X" is said so that they can keep the game going.

They have a big vested interest in the game continuing...

[FightingIrish]

13. I have long expected Romney to self destruct.

I didn't think it would be under such tragic circumstances. Republicans now realize that he is driving the clown car and they can't pick another candidate of the week. I hope they will turn their attention to 2016.

[lunasun]

16. nothing changed in MSM today IMO

SOS

[October]

17. He is getting support from his ilk on the right

Gingrich, Coulter, Jindal, Priebus, DeMint, Rumsfeld...

They're all lining up.

[MrMickeysMom]

18. Please do not think this is over...

I'm going to do everything I can to get everyone I can to VOTE.

We can't fail in this attempt, regardless of what the mentally challenged "other side" does... I put NOTHING past the way they will try to throw this election.

JUST DO IT.

[defacto7]

28. hear, hear!

20. Except for the voter suppression part.

It ain't over till it's over.

29. And except for the intimidation at the polls by Ts; see threads about that.

30. And except for the vote counting and the votes not counted. And the litigation. nt

21. Just say no to pResident Evil

[hay rick]

22. I wish.

The obvious became even more obvious today, but nothing has really changed for the press except that they will have even more that they are paid to ignore. Romney's real problem is a PR problem- he simply isn't likeable. Give our press credit though- they will be applying lipstick to that pig right up until election day.

[Third Doctor]

23. This will not

be over until I've seen Romney give his concession speech. Even then I would watch for legal rangling.

[NRaleighLiberal]

24. It feels like a turning point day, I agree. And I think there will be more....1.5 mo left to fight!

But it is interesting to actually realize that history - big things that change things - are happening before your eyes. Quite a 24 hours.

[calimary]

25. My husband just came up with a great new one: mittski is "donald trump with better hair."

I love my husband!

[gateley]

37. Excellent!

[thisdj78]

31. I think a number of republicans

are having a confession bear moment right now:

39. Welcome to DU....

[proud patriot]

33. I think you are correct

[reformist2]

36. Romney blew it. You don't attack the president the same day the country is attacked. You just don't.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

38. It should be the day everything changed...

but listening to that bastard Wolf let Guiliani ramble on with a bunch of lies
has my blood boiling. Thankfully they are showing a timeline of what was
said when. What do they care? They will continue spewing their lies, THAT
is their campaign strategy...LIE...LIE...LIE!

Obama is at his best when things are at their worst. He will navigate his
way throught this, his dignity, honor and our safety intact. That I have no
doubt.

[Tx4obama]

40. I went over to freeperville earlier this evening to look around ...

and the majority of those folks still think that Romney is great and many of them said they are happy that Mitt is coming out fighting.

[muriel_volestrangler]

41. They're so anti-Muslim, they would have hated the embassy statement without anything else

As far as they're concerned, embassies are there to tell foreigners why they're wrong, and the USA is right. They'd want the embassy to schedule special screenings of that PoS film. They interpret freedom of religious belief as a bad thing when it's applied to Islam, and they'd regard anyone saying they understand why the film is offensive as sympathising with the enemy. And no doubt many of them think this confirms their belief that Pres. Obama is a Muslim.

[corkhead]

42. funny that it is on the 4 year anniversary of the day the campaign changed last time.
