On Laura Ingraham's show Friday, she said this:

"I might be the skunk at the picnic but Im going to say it. Im going to say it clear. Romneys losing. I dont like to start a Friday show with this, but I feel like I must."

1. A skunk at a picnic?

No, Laura, you are much more of the "turd in the punchbowl" or "sand in the Vaseline" type.

2. Wow when the true believers start putting on the life jackets before the convention you know

that the GOP are not where they should be 85 days from the election. It's going to be pitched battle, hand to hand combat after Labor Day. The RWs will try every trick in the book to suppress voter turnout.

That's the only card they have in their hand.

3. The righties must be very unhappy about the campaign

Resigned, really. They may put on a brave and optimistic face to the outside world, but inside they know they're losing.

6. Isn't the final stage, acceptance?

[ailsagirl]

10. LOL!!

I don't know if she's accepted it but it would appear she's resigned to it.
Then comes acceptance.

4. Geez

She's a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic if you ask me. Probably thinks she's motivating the faithful to vote.

5. You mean...

she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer?
Love those expressions!

7. Maybe What we have here

is a fear campaign to get out the regressive vote. The idea of another four years of the evil black socialist in the White House will stir up the shark tank a bit.

11. Her statement would tend to make them lose heart for the elections

If they're talking head gods and goddesses are saying Romney's toast, then he must be toast.

They're sure not going to give Obama kudos for running a damn near perfect campaign because if they utter anything that even remotely sounds like the truth they dry up like mummies and blow away to the dustbin of history.

8. shilling for Romney is not popular

RW radio listeners don't want to hear cheerleading for Romney. Bashing Obama is fine, but they hate Romney and they give the propagandists hell when they try to sell Mitt to them.

I bet she is shilling for him overall, however. Once in a while getting in a dig at him but pretty much on board. But I don't know, I haven't listened to her in a long time.

9. And this was BEFORE Ryan's appointment was announced

I barely knew sho she was but I saw the blurb on (I think) Lawrence's show last night (sometimes it's hard to remember which of the MSNBC shows it was on).

At any rate, I love defeatists!! It becomes a self-fulfilling cycle
