I guarantee you this will be one of Mitt's "zingers"!

I have walked by the tv twice while a Robme ad was playing here in Ohio and this is the zinger he uses in the ad. Since I'm not that good at remembering statistics, and I can't stand listening to the guy, I'll have to paraphrase:


Mitt Robme: The Obama campaign is using the campaign slogan "Forward." With xx months of xx% unemployment his slogan shouldn't be "Forward", it should be "Forewarned."

If I were a betting man I would be willing to bet, as lame as that "zinger" is, he tries to fit it in the debates somewhere.

Early voting starts in about an hour and a half here in Ohio and I'll be voting for President Barack Obama and Senator Sherrod Brown.

...and Willard's shown he doesn't have it. You can have all the best one-liners around but you need a subject to walk into the joke to make it effective. Lloyd Bentsen knew Potatoe Quayle kept trying to compare himself to JFK...and bided his time until Quayle tossed it into the debate. The zinger worked cause Quayle walked into it. I don't expect President Obama to be as naive.

The worst situation is trying to zing and it not landing. I'm hoping to see that and the flop sweat on Bishop Stench's botoxed face...all dressed up with no place to go.

Here's hoping the pressure is so great on Willard right now he's needing to change his magic underware every hour. Everything that's left of his tepid "candidacy" rides on making a strong impression in the first 5 minutes of the debate and being a stand-up isn't gonna do it.

Cheers...
