    Holy Mary, Mother of God,
    pray for us sinners,
    now and at the hour of our death.
    Amen.

    I think I now better understand his appeal to folks like bigflexx, basso, gwayneco, and the like. Cognitive dissonance for the win.

    Also, here is a good illustration of Mitt's dilemma:


    McKay Coppins
    @mckaycoppins
    As Romney begins his riff about how both he and Obama care about the people of America, some in the crowd disagree: "No!" they shout.

    This, btw, is a line from his new ad trying to recover from the "don't care about the 47%" comment. http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/09/romney-goes-re-direct.html

    Trying to say he cares about people as much as the other side... And this gets some GOP wing nut mad.

    The Scarborough facepalm could gain some traction as a new Internet meme.

    Btw, if you haven't had a chance to watch Jon Stewart's latest bit, you should.

    Rendel made some merciful points for him, but his party is being run by corporate enablers who pander to idiots, bigots, and lunatics.

    He can't be himself.

    I don't think this particular poll says people don't like Mitt (other polls do). Lots of people said they don't like how Mitt campaigned, Most are Obama voters, but a bog chunk are probably Romney/GOP voters who are disappointed at Mitt for various tactical reasons (not tough enough on Obama, etc.).

    Kind of like lots of liberals didn't like the ACA cuz it didn't have single payer, public option, etc.
