Romney camp talks losing, because they're losing


"Loser!" -- Senior Romney staff.

The first hints of honesty peeking through the Romney campaign:


    But what’s more telling are a series of quotes from Romney campaign officials. Again, there are the normal caveats about the private polling showing their man holding onto a tight lead.

    But then we get this: “At a rally this morning in New Hampshire, I asked a senior Mitt Romney campaign adviser what the campaign had planned in the final crucial days. His answer was swift. 'Praying'.”

    And this: “One adviser this morning was even more candid: "I'm not saying (Mr. Obama) is definitely going to lose."

    And finally this: "We're the challengers. We always knew we could lose," one aide told me here in Dubuque. "They [the Obama camp] never contemplated they could lose."


They've spent the last few weeks trying to create real momentum by pretending they had some, even though they didn't.

Now, all those Republicans who so certainly proclaimed a looming Romney landslide need to preserve some modicum of credibility. Maybe they'll keep spinning nonsense about Sandy turning the tide, or maybe they'll cut that out and zero in on Mitt Romney's inadequacies as a candidate. They were legion, after all.

What's delicious is that this loser talk is happening days before the election. They're beat, they know it, and after weeks of pretending otherwise, they're too exhausted to keep up the pretenses.

Ryans people already mused (anoymously) to the press last week about what his post loss plans might include

Depends what his goals are.

He can become THE leader in congress, take over for Boehnner, and lead some serious change in DC.

or he can go to fox, preach to the choir, read a script, and make a huge pile of $$$$$.

My guess is that he'll quietly retire under the guise of some holiday or major headline (remember palin retiring on July 3 holiday weekend, and announcing she wasn't running just 5 minutes after Steve Jobs died)...  She is the MASTER of burying major announcements when they aren't flattering.

Paul Ryan on FOX, it makes sense.

doubt it, he seems like the type of person who really wants to make a difference.

yeah, but with millions of dollars on the line...

I think most people can be convinced that they can make a bigger voice with a "platform" like fox news pundit. 

He'll reason he can always run, ala pawlenty or Huck.  Maybe there have been people in the past who weren't rich, that PASSED UP the chance to get a huge payday, in similar positions.
