How Mr. Bain got unhinged

Ever since he launched the campaign, Mitt Romney has made the case that President Obama doesn't really understand what it means to be an American. Yes, he's said the president is a nice guy; but he's also accused him of trying to transform America into a foreign nation. And Romney was every bit as nasty to Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum as he is now to Barack Obama.

That said, Romney is no longer trying to put a smiley face on his attacks. And one reason for that appears to be the fact that his political base loves the red meat:

On Sunday night, Romney received a rousing ovation in Wisconsin after he ad-libbed a line urging Obama to “take your campaign out of the gutter.” It was clear, a Romney adviser said, that Romney’s crowds want harsher rhetoric about the president.

“The reaction they got Sunday night really drove the change in tone,” the adviser said. “I really think he’s kind of angry about how he’s been portrayed. I think ‘Obama’s a nice guy’ may not be a position he holds anymore.”

If that's true—that Mitt Romney is actually basing his campaign strategy on how a Republican crowd reacted to one line at one event—then he's gone more unhinged than we can even imagine. Because if that's really the case, if that crowd is who he's using as his focus group, he's stone cold nuts.

8. LaBolt Repeats: Romney Complaints ‘Seemed a Little Bit Unhinged’

LaBolt Repeats: Romney Complaints ‘Seemed a Little Bit Unhinged’

August 17, 2012

An Obama campaign official isn’t exactly backing down from his comment earlier this week that Mitt Romney seemed a bit unhinged in his complaints about attacks from the Democratic camp.

In fact, Ben LaBolt, an Obama campaign spokesman, essentially repeats the assertion in an interview on “DC Bureau,” The Wall Street Journal’s online politics show.

Asked about Mr. Romney’s assertion this week that President Barack Obama should “take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago,” Mr. LaBolt replied:

“I thought that was an interesting speech for Gov. Romney to give. In some ways his remarks seemed a little bit unhinged.

“I think that anybody who spends a day with the president on the campaign trail, he’s been talking about the exact choice he outlined in his economic framing speech in Cleveland. Which is are we going to build the economy from the middle class out or build it from the top down by rewarding the wealthiest with special breaks, stripping back oversight for banks and polluters, and assuming the market will take care of the rest. That’s the core contrast the president has outlined. It’s substantive and it’s policy-focused.”
