They believe in keeping the candidate isolated, pissing on the grassroots (hey, it's raining!) and then losing gracefully. This lets them keep their friends in comfortable drawing rooms and respectable parlors and posh clubs as they move on to the next failed campaign. Knowing that, I've been surprised at the aggressive position (relative to the norm) that the Romney campaign has taken so far, waiting for them to curl up and whimper at any moment. It has been a pleasant surprise - Fearless Reader needs to be taken to task on all of his misguided and malicious clusterfuffles - but I can't bring myself to believe it will continue. At some point, the voice in the back of my head intones, those spineless weasels will seize the power in this campaign too, and crush what good was left in it.<br /><br />@S-W re: conspiracy nonsense - As we say on the Intarwebs: Not sure if trolling, or abysmally stupid and credulous.Free-range Oysternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-51714803115393762092012-07-05T19:38:28.378-04:002012-07-05T19:38:28.378-04:00I don't think Mittens wants to get elected.
