They built the monster, and then unleashed it, and it was able to remove many Dems.

But like most monsters, it didn't know who its master was. It thought it was autonomous.

Once it started to run a muck, attacking the establishment GOP candidate, Fox stopped promoting it.

Now, Fox and the GOP establishment is trying to train their monster, so that it will accept Romney and not try to eat him too.

The problem is that the monster REALLY wants to eat Romney. And if its not allowed to do so, its going to throw a fit ... and when that fails ... it will curl into a ball wailing and moaning.
