Morning Joe discusses possible Romney run, doesn't mention the 47% video...

Strange, since it was that video that really showed America who Romney REALLY is and what he is all about.

The selective amnesia on MJ today was astonishing. Not Joe, he gonna be what he is. But Mika didn't mention it, Sam Stein didn't mention it. The discussion was about his "expertise" in foreign policy.

Altho I did like one panel member's question, though: "Where is Mitt going to run FROM?" Good question.

Oh, well, maybe Jebby will run that video and chew Romney up...oh, wait...

Even the most moderate of republicans are too right leaning for my taste. There's no way I could ever support one in any way, shape, or form.

I wrote a letter to the editor of the local ultraconservative newspaper when the video came out. I had trouble posting it at the paper's website, so I messaged the editor, who is a friend of mine, on Facebook--and it appeared in the paper the next day.

I live in a very red area of CA, and I really had to chuckle when a friend told me later of another friend's reaction. "Pinboy wrote that?" she asked. "OUR Pinboy?" she added, horrified.

I get your point, but to expect them to mention it every time he is discussed is far from reasonable.
