http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/23/axelrod-on-gop-candidates-all-hat-no-cattle/David Axelrod, senior strategist for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, responded Thursday to GOP attacks against the president from the CNN Arizona Republican Presidential Debate and described the candidates as "all hat, no cattle."
"It seemed like such a negative grinding affair, going after each other, going after the president and certainly going after the country," Axelrod said in an interview set to air on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." "That was a dispiriting thing to watch."
(snip)
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney made one of the strongest digs against Obama in Wednesday night's debate when he said the president was making unprecedented attacks against religious freedoms.
Hitting back, Axelrod said Romney's remarks was a "preposterous statement" and pointed to the administration's recent "compromise" on the contraception coverage controversy.

The "mainstream" will listen to "mainstream" media.
The biggest current bitch coming from the GOP looneytoons is about "mainstream" media.
They don't get it. When you are outside of the mainstream, when you are off to the far right fringe, there will be no shortage of mainstream voices speaking to the mainstream audience about those folks outside of the mainstream.
Dummies......you gotta be part of the mainstream to get mainstream approval of your message. The mainstream elected the president and your biggest, best message is that the mainstream made a mistake in electing him.
How visionary.
