This Might Be The Moment Mitt Romney Lost The Election

Romney spokesperson cites Massachusetts health law

A Mitt Romney spokesperson offered an unusual counterattack Tuesday to an ad in which a laid-off steelworker blames the presumptive GOP nominee for his family losing health care: If that family had lived in Massachusetts, it would have been covered by the former governor’s universal health care law.

“To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney’s health care plan, they would have had health care,” Andrea Saul, Romney’s campaign press secretary, said during an appearance on Fox News.

obama would be running on the health insurance law as his signature legislative accomplishment and rmoney would be trying to neutralize that by trying to take credit for doing it first at the state level.

looks like ms. saul had a momentary lapse of insanity and forgot about that whole thing where the republicans went all-in against health insurance reform.

"Mitt Romney has some good ideas. Obamacare was based on Romneycare. But Mitt Romney's bad ideas would take our country in the wrong direction...."

Nothing like a good backhanded "compliment."

It's kind of like death by a thousand cuts.

I can't wait to see all the commentary by the talking heads about why Romney lost the election when he loses it in November.

Of course, the fact that he is really fundamentally flawed and has never had a firm opinion or taken a stand and kept with it on any issue will never be mentioned.
