"As crazy as it sounds Romney insulting the Brits and Europe is not really a problem for him. The RW, the Kochs, and the rest of our oligarchs as well as the GOP hate Europe and everything European. It's their socialism and their governments. Republicans I know love Romney because he is attacking something they hate. And we know that the GOP does not care. "

...Democrats have succeed in making Romney run hard right? That's what everyone said he had to avoid, and Democrats have been trying to pin him down.

I mean, Romney has been trying and needs desperately to appeal to moderate voters. If he's still trying to convince wingnuts, he has a problem. Appealing to moderate voters was the whole point of his Etch-A-Sketch strategy, which obviously failed.

Even Republicans are piling on: "Kind of like Mr. Bean, only he's an American"

These arguments framing Mitt's severe screw up as a strategy is like claiming that Sarah Palin is a sure thing.

There are a lot of kooks in this country, but it would be a complete mistake to believe that appealing to them at the lowest level is going to play well among sane people.

Mitt's trip thus far is a complete disaster and embarrassment, and if he's playing to teabaggers at this point, it's out of desperation.
