Uh, huh. Romney's attacks on his primary opponents were brutal, and he covered the important states like a blanket with his ads. I guess he can dish it out but can't take it. National campaigns are never fought out with dueling powder puffs.

He'd better buy some more Twitter followers, pronto.

(and FTR, I'm not entirely convinced he has done this, but the evidence for it is at least as strong as for some of the shenanigans Obama is accused of, so there.)

The really stunning thing is that he's put forward his business background as his key qualification for the job, but now he's pleading with the Obama campaign to take his business background off the table. He wants even bigger tax cuts for the highest incomes (like his), but doesn't want to talk about his taxes.

It's hilarious.

I'm beginning to wonder if this guy ain't Mitt Romney's campaign manager:

He wants to get away from negative ads beacause he knows the dispicable cons have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at President Obama, and the majority of the american people aint buying what he's selling.





You go get him President Obama

So he's giving advice to the Obama campaign, now? Well, who wouldn't want to listen to the sage words from the people behind the flawlessly executed Romney campaign?
