WASHINGTON – Among the people watching Mitt Romney’s European misadventures with interest on Thursday was President Obama’s top campaign strategist, David Axelrod.
“It’s been quite amazing so far,” Axelrod remarked Thursday. “I’m almost speechless. That doesn’t happen too often.”

Axelrod said he was following the developments on Twitter – an unrivaled venue for the sort of brutal snark well-suited to political gaffes, but particularly ones in which the Brits weigh in. (See #romneyshambles)
Asked if he’d seen any stumbles that might stick, Axelrod said that “everything contributes to impressions.”
“It’s a little bewildering why he made this trip," Axelrod said. "He says the whole election is about the economy and then he sets out for Europe and the Middle East. So I assume he wanted to show his mastery in foreign policy and his diplomatic chops. The early returns are not encouraging.”
