Headline this morning in Washington Post: Romney defends business background. Good work, not-Romneys - how can there be anything wrong with a strategy that helps Obama demonize Wall Street? What's not logical about attacking a candidate that you despise for being too liberal by accusing him of being too conservative? Wonderful exhibition.
Some want to take the glass half full approach - ie, rebutting these idiots will help Romney perfect his counter attacks on Obama when he goes down the same road - I don't necessarily see it that way - all I get from this is further confirmation of just how illegitimate the not-Romneys are and therefore how increasingly their influence works to damage not only Romney in particular but the republican brand in general if this race drags on and on - can anyone imagine Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan or Christie taking this entirely self-defeating line of attack? - in the end I see this nonsense as serving no useful purpose to anyone other than Obama.
I suppose though one can't rule out that Romney, if he mounts a vigorous and evocative defence of his business experience, turns this pathetic attack to his advantage, especially as concerns independent voters.
