Fast Work from Romney World

I'm liking this fighting attitude from Romney World. More, please. Faster, please.
Recall that Joe Biden's inadvertent revelation -- "The middle class has been buried these past four years!" -- came only a day or so ago.
Nice work, Romney World.

I was just about to post the same observation. Nice work, indeed, by the Romney folks.

Glad it's online.
When is it going to be on constant rotation on TV, radio and the rest?

What are the odds that Gov. Romney will utter the phrase "the middle class has been buried these past four years!" tonight?

Excellent. As long as people see it.

Re: Fast Work from Romney World
Despite the new crop of "fact-checkers," the steady stream of false claims (i.e., lies) hasn't slowed down a bit. Obama just keeps the fabrications coming. It's like an assembly line.
There was a story a while ago about Lawrence Tribe. He taught a debate technique in which you attack with endless claims and assertions, on the hopes that their response to your arguments takes longer than making them, which means that some of your arguments will go unopposed.
The Obama campaign reflects that strategy, i.e., blanket the opposition with false claims, because they can't respond to all of them. Look for the same tonight, with one false canard after another. "Failed policies of the past eight years" (which will be funny, because that statement only makes sense from four years ago), Romney wants to get us into wars, kill medicare, on and on ...
I suspect that the Obama side won't care about anything Romney says. They're just going to keep throwing out chaff.
Romney should make Obama take responsibility for a canard, early on. Force Obama to move off the laundry list. Show how shallow Obama really is.

It was literally (to borrow a phrase) yesterday that Biden said that.

"More please. Faster please."
I think this was their gameplan all along. Don't shoot early. Don't shoot from center ice. Wait until you cross the blue line. Wait until you see the whites of their eyes.
(I swear I didn't read Dr. Rahe's post or Jay Cost's column until after writing this!)

Worse then that, he stated that in Charlotte yesterday and by mid afternoon he was here in Asheville and repeated the claim.
Can you dig it?

If that's true, Romney should jump on it, and add the second quote to the commercial. Start with one version, then end with the second - to prove it wasn't simply a verbal gaffe.

Is Yul Brenner the sheriff of Romney World? If so, I see him facing Obama and saying "Draw".
Re: Fast Work from Romney World
Laugh-out-loud funny.
Rob, if you wrote a character like Joe Biden for one of your sitcoms and we didn't already know the original, the audience would reject the dumb-as-a-stump veep as too implausible a caricature.

Thanks for framing this in a Ledeenesque fighting cry. Faster please indeed.
