Default August 15, 2012 The Day the Romney Candidacy Died

When you spend a week with your poll numbers crashing so badly, you have to announce your Vice Presidential pick early in a desperate attempt to change the narrative, in the middle of the night on a Friday, with a Saturday before-dawn rollout ...

When the media and the internet spends the weekend destroying your VP pick for his political views and past budget actions ...

When even the mainstream media starts questioning the outrageous lies your campaign is putting out ...

When your surrogates on the political shows get skewered for lying by the MSM ...

When the only response from your opponents campaign is, "He seems unhinged" after you canceled campaigning over the weekend because you were "tired", and then went on a ranting tirade ...

When you go on television first thing in the morning the following Wednesday, and the only thing you are doing is flailing away using Karl Rove's "Reverse the Frame" political tactics, blowing dog whistles right and left, which brings down a media and internet storm upon your head ...

When you have to go on national television to say, "I am not unhinged" ...

Then Gallup comes out that afternoon showing zero bump in the polls for the disastrous VP pick you chose personally, against all the advice of your campaign strategists ...

Your campaign might be, for all practical purposes, over.

Question: Will Romney bail out before Convention, leaving Paul Ryan as top of the ticket?

Well, yeah, in the world of wingnut delusion, where our President is an illegal citizen-Socialist-Marxist-Communist-Kenyan, I'm sure I am.

In the reality-based world, I do just fine, thanks

Mitt doesn't, though. He's has a pretty bad past few days. His appearance this morning on CBS was pretty ... bad. Mitt's candidacy is in big trouble right now, and hopefully he'll pull out of it before the convention.
