..Ohio and the rest of our states, but I also think the people of the entire nation are counting on Ohio because my guess is, my guess is if Ohio votes me in as President, I'll be the next president of the United States."


This quote is so Romney: Another crisis and another awkward, weird, self-aggrandizing reaction from Uncanny Valley Mitt.

via Bob Cesna on twitter

Romney's remarks on the storm came at the end of his stump speech here this morning, and are indicative of the delicate balance the GOP challenger must maintain between keeping up a campaign predicated in no small part on criticizing the record of President Barack Obama, and not looking opportunistic or unconcerned about the impact of a potentially devastating weather event affecting a large portion of the country.

Absent from Romney's remarks this morning was his now traditional attack on Obama for running a "small" campaign, focusing instead primarily on his own day-one agenda and five-point plan, along with a promise to work across the aisle should he be elected.

"I am going to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats. I’m going to find common ground. We have to find a way to work with people in the opposition party," Romney said. "Democrats love America. Republicans love America. We can come together."

As Romney spoke, his campaign announced it was canceling a planned event tonight in Wisconsin, and tomorrow's scheduled events in Ohio and Iowa. The campaign also cancelled events in Florida for Romney's running mate Paul Ryan, and said the campaign schedule remains in flux.

1. They are imploding.

Campaign literally in chaos.

[flamingdem]

2. I guess if he has to work it in Ohio

at least that means they don't have the theft lined up yet!

More your theory, chaos, and Mitt looking totally irrelevant.

Can anyone, even a Republican, imagine him heading up an effort like this?

And Ann Romney falling apart right there, because as she said he constantly looks to her for security.

[randome]

41. It started out that way, too.

[aletier_v]

3. "Democrats love America. Republicans love America."

True but the trouble is that they both hate you, MItt.

[flamingdem]

11. Can't wait for the concession speech

[reformist2]

4. Of course he wants Ohio, but has he done anything to earn their vote??? HELL NO!

[flamingdem]

7. Just try to take credit for the salvaging of the auto industry!

He's such a tool, a wrench in the business of life

[Demsrule86]

28. Romney is an outsourcing liar and we don't like that in Ohio

He is running and ad that says Pres. Obama forced autos into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to the Italians...and now the jobs are going to China...he won't win.

[rbrnmw]

43. That's Right

Get your lying ass out of Ohio we don't want you here

[nc4bo]

5. Damn, Mittie looks like he's sporting a couple shiners.

Dark circles under/around both eyes. Wonder if he's been punching himself?

Hmmm...........

[flamingdem]

10. I couldn't access this article about Mitt in Ohio but like the title

6. fucking Scumbag

[flamingdem]

17. He seems to enjoy being one too

[JI7]

8. Why aren't the people on the Atlantic Coast Supporting Him ?

[progressivebydesign]

9. WTF does he even Mean??That the hurricane victims WANT Ohio to elect him??

That couldn't be further from the truth. Man, that dude is toxic. That FEMA bullshit should ruin him. Cuz God knows that the comments blasting 47% of Americans (including seniors, the military, disabled, and veterans,) and his omission of the troops in his acceptance speech then saying they weren't important, and his missing tax returns, etc. etc. etc. didn't do it (for some reason.) His FEMA nonsense should sink his campaign

[flamingdem]

12. Let's hope this is the last week we have to listen to his deranged

ramblings. Yes, one would think the Fema comments would do him in, not sure who is really left to support him except Rasmussen and Kasich.

[aletier_v]

13. I am continually disheartened that somehow, someway, Romney ended up as the candidate

I feel like I'm watching a bad movie, he is a caricature of himself, a caricature of a caricature, either oblivious or uncaring of his appearance. He really is an alien.

Why did the Republicans let this happen?
Why?
Why?
Why?

Are they really this far down a bad path?
Is that apple truly rotted through and through?

I never cared about Limbaugh one way or another,
I listened once in awhile,
sometimes he was funny
but now he nauseates me
and I can't be alone, look his ratings,
look at how the mood galvanized against him this year.

What the fuck is wrong with Romney?
The man is SIXTY-FIVE.

I feel like I'm watching a retarded kid,
there's something so profoundly broken inside of him.

[flamingdem]

16. It's partly due to Obama

They didn't want to run Christie, Jeb or Rubio against him and risk losing a hopeful for 2016, so they were stuck with Willard.

[JI7]

19. Gingrich and Santorum Splitting the vote helped Romney also

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

36. their bench is not deep,christie,Jethro and rubio none can win,they are going to facepalm 2016 n\t

[piechartking]

23. Is this a poem? :) n/t

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

27. Lol. I wondered as well.

[progressoid]

22. You should be thankful that you don't understand him.

If you did, you might be one of the mindless millions that will vote for this douche.

[cthulu2016]

14. If New Jersey wanted you it would damn well VOTE for you, asshole.

[jsr]

15. Despicable heartless soulless ghoul.

[LisaL]

18. I am pretty sure that all those blue states aren't counting on OH to elect Romney.

[Kurovski]

20. At the very least he's a goofball, as my dad used to say.

[flamingdem]

21. He's goofball as long as he doesn't win

cuz then he's our President gak

[littlemissmartypants]

24. What, who is he?

After he loses what will he be?

[flamingdem]

29. A very wealthy man, ignored by everyone!

Can't wait..

[mil_5529dem]

25. he is truly delusional

Or on drugs

[flamingdem]

30. He's on Koch

[Blue_In_AK]

26. This pandering is growing tiresome.

[flamingdem]

31. This pander bear belongs in a zoo

in China! Let's send him there

[Maeve]

32. Big disasters need big government

If Rmoney was in charge, New York and New Jersey would have to take care of themselves. And DC? Good luck with that. Fortunately, we still have FEMA as well as Red Cross, national as well as regional assistance, public AND private sources to help. Go back to counting your money, Mitt, and leave running the country to the grown-ups.

[flamingdem]

34. Can this disaster possibly wake people up to the danger

of an Rmoney presidency, I can't imagine such a prevaricator being in charge now

[Rose Siding]

33. The Hill says they called this a "Storm Relief Event"

WAY dif than a campaign event in that they swapped out the word campaign for storm relief.

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/264739-romney-ryan-announce-storm-relief-efforts-for-tuesday

[flamingdem]

35. I hope the media doesn't let Rmoney get away with that word play

Everyone knows it's a campaign event - just another lie by the con man

[newspeak]

37. and in newspeak

mittens is saying "democrats love america" - yes, most democrats love our country and want healthy communities and care about the well being of ALL americans--"republicans love america" yes most of today's wacko repugs care more of the thought of their brand of amerikka, are more interested how much profit they can make by selling it off to any and all foreign, domestic greedheads; are waiting breathlessly to privatize any and all government agencies so their friends can make more profit off the backs of americans (while further screwing other americans who can no longer afford to pay for services because of his greedy trickle on friends) and would gladly wage another war to feed even more money to his profiteering friends. oh, and they care about americans so much, his corporate friends have no problem sending jobs overseas, so that they won't be exploiting the american people.

and he cares about americans so much that he wants to deregulate even more, so that his friends can con, poison and basically rip off those he says he cares so much about. I believe he really loves the concept of his commercial brand of amerikka.

[EnviroBat]

38. I wish the fuck he's keep his stupid ass OUT of Ohio.

We are sick of seeing this asshole parading his fascists ass through our cities on his stupid fucking bus. A bus which my lovely wife had a chance to pull up next to this morning, honk and flip them off. God I love that woman...

[sabrina 1]

39. What he meant to say was: 'We're DOING the counting in Ohio!'

[Firebirds01]

40. You guys in NJ and NY

count on Ohio? That's really sweet. I didnt know that.

[amborin]

42. more on tactics in Ohio:

[SomethingFishy]

44. Dispaches from La La Land...

The people of the "Atlantic Coast" Could give a flying fuck about "Ohio" right now.

This is the final nail in Romney's campaign coffin.
