Whether or not Romney has

Whether or not Romney has anything that can be called 'beliefs' is one for the philosophers, imo. From the outside he looks like a pathological panderer, from the inside who knows what it feels like, maybe it is in some sense sincere.

But, just wondering, what is the expiry date on the whole 'massive-unemployment-is-the-last-GOP-administration's-fault' line? There is lots of crap I'd call Romney on, though when you're in the third year of an administration I think it starts being fair to lay some responsibility for the economic situation at its feet. Rightly or wrongly, most of the Dems' efforts were focused on two signature issues that have no short-term economic effects - PPACA and FinReg.

Does anyone still think what

Does anyone still think what Romney says in any way corresponds to what he believes? I thoroughly disagree with both Huckabee and Gingrich, but I believe they actually hold the opinions they express and would try to put them into effect. Even Republicans can see through Romney's insincerity. He won't be on the ballot in 2012. Nor will airhead Palin, who's starting to embarrass even the tea partiers.

Thanks, G!

It's easy to forget them in these partisan days, but there are a lot of people who are neither left nor right, people whose opinion will be critical in 2012. I think it's helpful to draw their attention to Romney's duplicity.

I thought that Maiello's contrast between the absurdity of Romney's accusations and the business acumen that he so proudly touts was genius.

Yeah, I hear you. And

Yeah, I hear you. And honestly, I wasn't thinking in terms of a target audience, I just thought I had a strong case to make that Romney is a liar and should know better.

OK, I won't vote for Romney -

OK, I won't vote for Romney - honest. It does seem the sort of piece that the left already understands and that the right will refuse to believe, so I wonder who is the target audience?
