Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney has not yet foresaken us

Michael Prager reports:

... [T]his morning, for the second time in a couple of months, I ran into him in the market. The other time, I was with Georgie but he was alone, cruising the produce section of the Shaw's Market in Belmont. This time, I was alone but he was with his wife, Ann, when we met up at adjacent cash registers at Wilson Farms. ...

Hmm, I wonder if Mike Dukakis still shops at the Harvard Street Stop & Shop when he's in Brookline? A former co-worker once reported Dukakis started arguing with him about his choice of cereal - Dukakis tried to convince him the store brand was just as good and would save him money.

The Real Estalker takes us on a virtual tour of Mitt Romney's new pied-a-mer on the beach in La Jolla, Ca.:

... It goes without saying all those hideous chairs and the beige rugs will be hauled out to the dumpster and Your Mama suggests that the Romney's spend a few hundred thousand doing over the kitchens and bathrooms in a style befitting someone of their financial stature. We hope the couple will bring in a local landscaper who knows a thing or two about indigenous vegetation and do something about the paltry and pathetic landscaping on the ocean side of the house that gives the rear facade the vague visage of an upscale mobile home. Your Mama would also consider opening up the ceilings to gain some volume, particularly in the living and dining rooms. This is a single story house and there's really no need to feel smashed down by vast planes of just slightly too low ceilings. ...

Everything Mitt Romney did wrong

John Ellis compiles a Romney Campaign Mistake List - which includes the Mittster's you'll-still-have-me-to-kick-around speech yesterday:

... Having mismanaged their candidate to political defeat, the Romney team added insult to injury by spinning his departure as reminiscent of Ronald Reagan’s defeat in 1976. This is preposterous. Reagan electrified the conservative movement in 1964 with his televised address on behalf of Barry Goldwater. Reagan came within one endorsement -- Strom Thurmond's -- of wresting away the Republican nomination from Richard Nixon in 1968. And when he arrived in Kansas City in the summer of 1976, he had carried any number of critical states by majority votes (and in some cases, by wide margins) in Republican primary elections. Reagan left the stage as a force because he was a force. Romney leaves the stage having carried Michigan and Massachusetts and a number of caucus states. ...

Via Jay Fitzgerald, who has a much shorter list:

... At what point do you stop blaming the consultants and blame the candidate who so casually brushed aside integrity and honesty? Mitt lost because Mitt's character allowed him to be multiple Mitts.

Speaking of the speech, Mike Ball dissects it. David Bernstein takes a few whacks at the speech as well.

Bradley.

Sauer is also charged with possession of an open container of alcohol for the two open bottles of Bud that allegedly spilled out of the duo's car when they were arrested early this morning in the parking lot at 585 Commercial St.
