. . . it looks like Romney's in full control of the message and appearance (outside of the commercials, that is).

Consider though, what his handlers bring to the game. The republican argument has, itself, become a weak parody which can't rely on a suspension of disbelief or ignorance anymore. in short, the republican party has run out of persuasive arguments. The truth has caught up with its standard lies about taxes, warring, our health needs - and they're stuck in their ridiculous opposition which reads like a corporate-sponsored ad.

Romney's a product of a defunct political machine. He's a disfigured and mutant spawn. Anything he manages to convey will reek of all of that . .

Most folks today aren't interested in dumbing-down deliberately, just to elect him king of the demagogues. What a waste of a suit!
