In reply to the discussion: Mitt is running a perfect campaign [View all]magical thyme
(14,881 posts)and the biggest problem Mitt has is that the more people see and hear him, the less they like him.
Wisconsin is no barometer of this campaign, and is in no way analogous. Recalls are rarely successful, Barrett had already lost against Walker, Walker probably isn't as creepy.out of touch as Mittens is (simply because few people are).
For example, my local radio was just blanketed with vapid, rMoney ads inviting us to come see him at Scamman Farms in NH. I swear in between every song and ad, there was Mittens with canned cheers talking about how "We Love America! We believe in Freedom and Opportunity and Free Enterprise! And I am an Example of Free Enterprise and Opportunity!" and similar blather.
Did you see the pix in the other threads? Very low turnout. And there was Mittens, with a large sign that said SCAMMAN at the base of his stage. The subliminal message comes through loud and clear.
Tomorrow will be his first interview not at Faux News. He inadvertently insults people -- including his 'little people' hosts -- wherever he goes.
He's got a ton of money to buy exposure, but then, so did Meg Whitman in California. That situation -- an out of touch, obscenely wealthy, psychopath failing to buy an election -- more closely replicates Mittens' situation.
