Abbreviated Pundit Round-up: Mitt Who? Edition

by Mark Sumner

(Joan) Walsh checks out the only thing that damages GOP hopes more than a week of Democrats dominating TV... a weekend where Romney and Ryan dominate the tube.

If Mitt Romney loses the election in November, he lost it over the weekend. The Democrats followed a lackluster Republican National Convention with a festival of unity in Charlotte... President Obama got the convention bounce Romney did not, but Republicans still hoped a disappointing jobs report might slow his momentum. It didn’t; in fact, GOP incompetence since Charlotte turned Obama’s small bounce into a leap forward, with Gallup today showing the president 6 points ahead of Mitt Romney; a week ago, they were tied.

Dana Milbank reveals the tragic growing memory loss so rampant in the GOP. They've already forgotten their last president and scrubbed most of a decade from their minds. Now they've forgotten their candidate.

There was one thing House Republican leaders did not mention in their statements to the cameras after Tuesday morning’s caucus: Mitt Romney.

They uttered 1,350 words in their opening remarks at the news conference but made no reference to the party standard-bearer who would be at the top of their ticket in just 56 days. ...

That Romney would go on “Meet the Press” and say that last year’s bipartisan spending deal was a “mistake”— never mind that Romney had applauded Boehner for negotiating the deal at the time — made clear that the GOP nominee does not wish to run on the record of congressional Republicans.

That House Republicans would not so much as breathe Romney’s name makes clear the sentiment is mutual.
