Romney camp cancels Orlando stop scheduled in Florida tour due to exhaustion

[maddezmom]

Source: ABC

Presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney will be touring the state of Florida today, but he is no longer visiting Orlando, his campaign announced late Sunday night.

Romney is said to be exhausted after 48 hours of promoting his new vice presidential pick, Paul Ryan, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Romney’s Florida tour begins in St. Augustine, before heading to Miami this afternoon.

However, his new vice president running mate Paul Ryan will be in Iowa attending the Iowa State Fair.

Democrats suggest Ryan's presence on the ticket could hurt Romney among Florida voters because of Ryan's well-known budget proposals.

What a wimp.

[rfranklin]

1. If he got a call at 3 a.m. he'd probably roll over and go back to sleep...

"Lett the servants take care of it..."

[Javaman]

23. Even better: There's a 3 am call in mittens room...

mittens gets up and says, "who the hell put a phone in here?"

[rfranklin]

24. I think you nailed it!

I was being too generous.

[Brigid]

27. You win the thread.

And then he'd say, "And why is the phone red? It doesn't match anything in here."

[Rozlee]

48. Naw, man.

The call would be from overseas, where Mitt outsourced all government communications, with some East Indian dude telling him that some guy was holding a backpack nuke on the Eiffel Tower and Mitts would say, "Oh, how wonderful! Tell him to enjoy his visit. I know I enjoyed mine!" *click*

[PADemD]

2. He'd be a 9-5 President.

[goclark]

12. He would be a "show up for photo ops"

and that would be it!

Ryan, 42 yrs. young and a nut case, would be the "President."
He is definately no JFK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CanonRay]

33. Tuesday-Thursday

and be sure to phone first for an appointment before attacking us.

[goclark]

3. The fix is in ~ he is going to get out

of the race.

That's just my impression.

What candidate is going to say " exhausted" at this stage of the game.

What has he been doing that would tire him out so soon?

[vinny9698]

5. This man has now really worked a day in his life

He is not used to putting in a days work. He has peons to do his dirty work.

[Kalidurga]

8. buying hardware stuff...nt

[bobburgster]

14. Hmmm, thought the same a few weeks ago....

not sure I think it will still happen.

[CanonRay]

34. You may be on to something

It's freaking August...what's he going to be like in October?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

37. "What candidate is going to say " exhausted" at this stage of the game."

Even McCain never said anything like that.

The Romney attitude is one of entitlement and looking at the election as a chore.

[wordpix]

43. hey, getting on jets & shaking hands & making speeches is hard werk

for a guy like Rmoney who usually just signs papers to collect his million$

[Rozlee]

51. You're right. Even McCain on the eve of the last election

was running around the country like he was 18 years old, glad handing and still making stump-speeches. He was the one I kept thinking would wilt like a petunia, and face it, he already looked embalmed, poor man. Romney's too pampered; he's traveled in too rarified circles and gotten used to adulation from family, friends and the business world. He's had a rude awakening from Rethugs that aren't in love with him and an entire planet that's derisive of him.

[goclark]

62. I agree with you and help me with GW

I can recall GW going to the ranch for R and R, probably Rehap that didn't work.

What I can't recall is GW actually saying he was too tired when he was running for office.

Edit for spelling

[PATRICK]

4. Probably dodging Medicare issues

that the choice of Ryan raises. The way the Obama team presses they are probably not prepared and are fearful of being ambushed hard, early and effectively as the ticket tries to settle in.

[BeyondGeography]

6. Exhausted after two whole days of campaigning?

Wha?

[sofa king]

7. Oh, so now they're gonna lie about him being human, too.

[bupkus]

9. If Romney can't even handle the campaign how can he handle the office?

I'm too tired to be president today doesn't fly.

[davidpdx]

10. John McCain is that you?

I totally take back what I said in another post about Romney having more physical endurance. It was a total and completely lack of judgement on my part.

[maddezmom]

11. LOL

[get the red out]

19. McCain was old and didn't get "exhausted"

Dear Lord, Romney can't even keep up with last election's Papaw! He's a big, healthy looking guy WTF??????

[Panasonic]

13. Wimp.

A real man campaigns every single day.

A rich person beckons someone else to campaign for him.

Why doesn't Romney get his own fucking island and be the king of it - no-one will care.

[Scuba]

15. Good suggestion, and welcome to DU!!~

[tanyev]

16. It must be exhausting to try and keep track of what his current position is on any given issue.

[JBoy]

17. "Romney surrenders to Iran after 48 hrs of warmongering saber-rattling"

reads a potential future headline.

[Roland99]

18. Good, don't need to see his sorry ass holding up traffic around here anyway!

[rurallib]

20. dragging an anchor like Ryan around can be tiring

[DippyDem]

21. Willard Wimpney needs to try the caffeinated drinks! n/t

[EnviroBat]

22. A so the official Ryan campaign begins.

I have a feeling your going to see a lot less of the embarrassment known as Romney the next two months. He's going to be hiding in the shadows of this newly picked butt-boy as Ryan fires up the mouth-foaming conservative ideologues. Romney is the biggest pansy I've ever seen run for office. He'll let Ryan do the dirty work.

[Brigid]

25. But . . . But . . .

Dealing with the peasantry all day is so tiring!

We are just having too much fun for this early in the campaign. Just imagine what the conventions and the debates will be like.

[Iggy]

26. HUH? Health Problems??

how is anyone supposed to support this guy?

schedule a bit too tough for a ONE percenter?? gimme a break.

BTW, I'd be "exhausted", too, if I had to go around in total denial all the time,
running from MSM, worrying about what moranic gaffe I'd be busting out
with next like:

"I'd like to introduce you to the next President of the U.S."

??? the guy can't even read from his own script! wow...

[Brigid]

30. Maybe Mitty thinks he's one of those ancient potentates.

They had scribes read stuff to them because they were illiterate themselves.

[Iggy]

31. BEENGO!

so now willard is kicking back at his manse in CA... testing out the new
car elevator.

eddie munster attack dog at the Iowa State fair today.. WTH? he thinks
he's getting traction there?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. Good one. He's tired from running away from interviews.

[Iggy]

39. Right. It's the same old Crap, the GOP

"leadership" has a rather long track record of refusing to talk to the media,
whining about the fact MSM doesn't always merely ape GOP talking points,
etc

how many press conferences did smirky hold over his eight disastrous years?
four?

[Justice wanted]

28. IF he can't complete a 4 city tour HOW the freak is he going to handle the Presidency after a week?

What a wuss.

[progressivebydesign]

46. guess it's not a good endorsement for their P90X workout, is it? n/t

[Not Me]

29. He was scheduled to come alone

as in without Ryan.

I have a feeling Ryan won't be accompanying him on many states where the senior vote is significant.

[rocktivity]

32. HE'S not going to Florida either?

This reminds me of when Motley Crue canceled a concert because they were more concerned snow on the roof of the venue making it collapse than their lack of ticket sales!


rocktivity

[bushisanidiot]

35. It's hard work sitting on a stool in the corner while #2 does all the talking for you

romney is just gonna phone it in from here on out

[maddezmom]

36. LOL

[Rose Siding]

40. Wow! Hard to believe they cited exhaustion as a reason.

Weak weak weak. How in the world do they expect that to play?

[goclark]

41. Bingo! He hasn't done anything

that would make him exhausted.

He has not turned in his taxes and will not because he knows what's in them.
He must think we will stop asking for them if we believe he is "exhausted" --- wrong again Mittwit!


He thinks the KBro$ will keep picking up the tab, and they will .......


He forgets that he has a real "job" as the Head of his Party.

He insults other countries and doesn't even say sorry.

He refused to even watch his wife's rich horse perform and not win.
How could any person with an social IQ higher than 20% make such a stupid statement?

He doesn't have a real job now other than telling lies.

If he is exhausted now, how would he have the energy to be President?

I still believe he will get out of the race.

He says the same 10 words on every stop -- no zing in his voice.
Horrible public speaker.

There is no "there, there" with this sociopath

He has enough money to pay a smart staff - they are either as stupid as he is or they don't give a shit just so they get paid.

And, he was stupid enough to site "exhaustion" instead of a family emergency. He could have easily said that one of his family members was not feeling well but nooooo- he allowed them to quote him as "exhausted."

Keep it coming Mittwit!

[wordpix]

47. exhausted coming up with lies & contortional explanations, maybe

[VWolf]

42. Ok, so now he's also PHYSICALLY unfit to be POTUS.

Works for me.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

44. He can't walk and chew gum at the same time. A president's energy is ALWAYS high!

If he can't cut it, then keep out of the White House!!

[progressivebydesign]

45. Oh bullshit. He gets winded after two days of campaigning???

More like he's still in a fight with Gov. Scott over his ads there.. Gov. Scott is none to pleased over Romney's "Obama's Florida" ad.

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/08/13/162059/romney-fla-gov-scott-clash-over.html

[Ruby the Liberal]

49. Poor Willard. He's used to making pronouncements via conference call.

Now the poor baby has to fly places to get onto his fake "bus tour" and it is wearing him out.

Maybe he needs another 3 week vacation in NH and Europe like last month?

[KamaAina]

50. That's odd. Usually when a celebrity is "exhausted" it means a stint in rehab is coming.

But of course Mittens would never be drunk or coked up or anything like that. Prescription drugs maybe?

[AnnieBW]

52. If he can't keep up the pace of the campaign now

What about during late October? Or, when he's President?

[Lost-in-FL]

53. Because being unpopular can be exhausting. nt

[Larkspur]

54. OK, Obama's SuperPac needs to update the Clinton's "3am phone call" ad with a

scene of Rmoney hitting the SNOOZE button while a national emergency rages. That means the boy wonder, Paul Ryan, who is advised by neocon Daniel Senor, will be awake and launching missiles while he's warming up on his PX90 machine.

I wasn't a Bill Clinton fan, but that guy WORKED hard every day when he was in office. If he wasn't making decisions as President, he was reading books and news magazines to gather more information. Bill Clinton earned his salary as President.

Romney will be Dubya II. Dubya I worked only 2-4 hours a day and took scheduled naps.

[kestrel91316]

55. He'll need to vacation ALL THE TIME just like Dubya.

Except he won't drink himself into a stupor in the process. I guess we'll have to be thankful for small things.

[lovuian]

56. I saw him in a interview and he did look

frazzled and really about to cry

Exhausted and depressed and very scared

[goclark]

57. Looks good on the no good monster!

He knows what those taxes say - he knows!

Why continue to waste the time of the American people ~ oops--- I forgot we are not in the 1% so he doesn't care about us.

[fantomas]

58. It's very tiring being away from your car elevator...

You actually have to walk a few steps.

[Vestigial_Sister]

59. The stop will be rescheduled...

as soon as they remove the stick from Mitten's ass.

[mazzarro]

60. Wow - It doesn't take much to tire him out!

In his pseudo-excitement about his VP nominee, he accidentally rode in a bus and that exhausted him already?

[Thegonagle]

61. Exhaustion? No, I think he thinks he should steer clear of FL for awhile.

Ya know, with Ryan's medicare plan, and all the old people down there.

He's just not going to attract a friendly crowd, and that'll look bad on TV.
