Wow, 24 hours without a single word from shit romney.....

.....for him that must be some kind of a record, cause he's on fox news all day saying something or other, now this extended silence, which in an election year, this close to the election, 24 hours seems like an eternity.

Why the long pause mittsie? Gathering your thoughts? Choosing your words carefully, or just coming up with another insult?

Learned Helplessness ... When one comes to a realization that whatever course of action one chooses results in pain; when posed with the next decision point, that individual freezes.

romney has come to realized that his instinctive AND advised response to events is always the wrong response.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall, these days, during his campaign inner circle meetings ... I'll beat there are a lot of bad words used.

Romney supporters used a 'USA!' chant to drown the hecklers out.

Then Romney said he'd ask for a moment of silence, but one man doesn't want to be quiet.

the software, and the engineers are desperately looking for a way to reconfigure the hardware to find room for a small Empathy chip.

Looks like it will all fail, the current MittBot chassis is hopelessly antiquated and cannot be updated without a major product internal re-design.
