· "Who does she think she is?" Strangers react to Ann Romney's Marie Antoinette act

73. To them, this was supposed to be a minor issue

that popped up from the "little people" for a couple of weeks then went away. It was never in their plans to still be talking about it.

"We have given you our answer so be good little people and stop asking now"

The problem is that the answer is insufficient. The little people have the audacity to think they have some "right to know", so the subject will not die.

The Romneys did not learn the lesson from Kerry and the SBVT, or the Obama BC. From Kerry, making light of a question, even a ridiculous one, and not answering for weeks is a losing strategy. From the Obama BC, even the most absurd questions, even when fully addressed, never go away anymore. (and this question is legit, so it is even worse)

The tone and timbre of both her and Mitt's rhetoric of late indicate one thing very clearly, they are losing and they are beginning to fully understand this.

The Obama camp is very good at one thing and has been since it first came on the scene. Highlighting an opponent's weaknesses and steadily picking away at them. Ryan is a gold mine in this regard, so there will be more to come.
