Steady stream of people leaving Romney rally in the middle of his speech. Maybe it's the cold, but energy level low in Ohio. #2012

Or they are just total hacks and want to keep the race "close".

(81,466 posts)And I LOVE your "r$" name for that greedy vampire capitalist bastard! Or vulture capitalist, whichever gets evicerated first.
I hope we can SEND HIM HOME on Tuesday night! Home to Michigan. Or Massachusetts. Or Utah. Or La Jolla CA. Or whichever state he's claiming as his home state this week. And take his haughty little Imelda-Marcos-meets-Leona-Helmsley wifey with him, too. Madame Smug. ICK.
Glad you're here! We need you to help us clinch this one!
Now get to work (and strumming!).

They will still get, as the kids put it, ginormous salaries. And most people will forget what they said.
For pundits, there are simply no negative consequences for getting it wrong.

(3,057 posts)Look at Dick Morris for example. He predicted for Rmoney by 8-10 points and that was just a couple of weeks ago. Why is he still considered relevant? Has he ever been right?

As a fellow Michigander, not only would a not attend a Kid Rock concert (if you want to call what he does music) but I'll be upset if my local law enforcement is wasting my tax dollars in overtime to protect his ass-ets.

"Hey man! I made the Kid's concert last night. It was awesome!"
"You mean that one where he was the opening act for Romney?"
"Oh. Is that who that boring guy was? I dunno - I split..."

(8,377 posts)Let Romney spew his shit for 5 minutes, then have Mr. Rock play a tune, then go back to more bullshit from Romney and then another tune from Mr. Rock. etc. You know, like the Jerry Lewis Telethon.

(19,458 posts)the talent is just a bonus. Romney has NOT drawn a crowd over 5k by himself.. Period. It's been a free concert where they gave tix to anyone.. that got him a full house. HUGE difference. People pack in to see the President, he doesn't need shiny objects to lure people in.

(173 posts)CNN reporter Jim Acosta got shouted down by Romney supporters at a Romney for President rally in Etna, Ohio Friday afternoon after Acosta tried to do a newscast from the press stand.
These are rabid people who can't stand the facts, are getting desperate and are seeing their candidate fail.

luvs2sing
(2,220 posts)Good grief, does anyone still live in Etna, Ohio? I guess he could probably pull from the far east side of Columbus and the Pickerington area, or Newark/Heath, but the last time I drove through Etna, which is really an unincorporated crossroads, I'm not sure if I even saw any houses still standing. I know my old high school sweetheart's house which was kind of an area landmark, was long gone. If he's campaigning in Etna, that's just beyond pitiful...LOL!
