By Greg Sargent

A few weeks ago, Terry Branstad, the Republican governor of Iowa, went public with his complaints about the Romney campaign’s tendency to hype the bad economic news in his state. Branstad questioned the Romney camp’s release of a web video highlighting the plight of the unemployed in Iowa — where the unemployment rate of 5.1 percent is significantly lower than the national average.

“My state is seeing significant growth,” Branstad said. “We are doing very well.”

Today, with Vice President Joe Biden in the state for an event, the Romney campaign has chosen to defy Branstad’s request.

The Romney camp is out with an extensive new attack that blares: “IOWANS CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR FUTURE IN THE OBAMA ECONOMY.”

1. "ROMNEY CAMPAIGN SHOOTS SELF IN FOOT"

Mitt just can't win for losing his party, piece by piece. Keep it up Romney.

2. What is it called, again ...

When people hold two disparate thoughts/belief at the same time?

Oh, yeah ... "BlametheBlackguyitis."
