94. At least that criticism has some connection to doing poorly in the polls . . .

If indeed one's record were being besmirched, and people didn't like you for things you supposedly thought rather than for things you actually thought, that complain would have a legitimate relation to what you were upset about. (again, hypothetically)

But WTF does he mean when he says that his languid campaign schedule (lack of events) is caused by Obama's decision about whether or not to take federal money 4 YEARS AGO?????

WTF does a 4 year old decision by somebody else about how to fund their campaign in 2008 have to do with ROMNEY's current campaign strategy of not having very many events????

That doesn't even have a hypothetical connection to anything, does it?

Please!?! If anyone can explain, I'm here all week . . . LOL.
