Say What?!?!? Romney Adviser: It's 'Politically Unwise' To Campaign In Specifics
"The nature of running a presidential campaign is that you're communicating direction to the American people," a Romney adviser, who is not named, told Politico. "Campaigns that are about specifics, particularly in today's environment, get tripped up."
The issue of the budget, particularly taxes and cuts to entitlement programs, is a pivotal one for the election and is one both campaigns are trying to exploit. For the Romney campaign, that has meant accusing President Barack Obama of decimating Medicare by taking funds from it for his health care law, even though that is a false claim. Ryan's own budget would transform the program to make it almost unrecognizable.
...
"What you're going to see is a campaign that has clear direction, but not a Simpson-Bowles or Ryan-budget level of detail," the adviser told Politico. "It's not only politically unwise to do that, but it's not how the voters engage in a presidential campaign."
Ryan said earlier this week that he plans to discuss tax plans, but not until after the election.

Edited to add some of my favorite comments:
The only thing they'll "save" are the details from you and me.
"Mr. Romney- can you use the word 'specific' in a sentence?"
"Sure I can: My new car elevator overlooks the specific ocean."
Serf city- here we come.....
And, let me add, that chocolate may look appealing on the outside but take a bite and you find that it's full of nuts!!
Mitt might talk about how he disposed of aborted fetuses,
and Ryan might talk about how he re-named a post office.
Other than that?
I don't know.

The comments are great!

Let me guess...
Flag pins and why Obama's pin is not large enough to discern the 50 stars?
Why Gabby Douglas didn't where a flag for a uniform?
Patriotism and the American flag and why the President hates America?
I mean what else would shills like Creepy Crawly and Bob Shitffer ask about?
What politician expects people to vote for him when he won't tell the voters what he intends to do? Mitt Romney.
It boggles the mind.
to understand the specifics. He doesn't trust you, America, why should you trust him?" --I think that's a pretty winning line 
The problem with Rmoney is that he is not particularly inspirational.
Reagan pulled it off, but he had the actor's skill of speaking like he was everyone's friend / neighbor.
Bush* was consistently stupid enough on the surface that the majority through 2004 did not take him as the elitist sociopath he actually was. (someone who would joke about an execution he signed off on, go to a party while people died in NOLA, say "bring it on" to insurgents while troops were in harm's way... I am pretty sure FDR never told the Germans to "bring it"
We have been dealing with the backwash of Obama's inspiration for 4 years now. Keeping real governing even close to as inspirational as his speeches has proven impossible, at least without 65+ senate seats. Even with that many seats it would have been very tough to make reality meet the visions people had.
