Uh oh. They're Telling Mitt To Get Tougher.

[Solomon]

Everybody asking him if he can get tough with Obama.

Train wreck coming soon.

Pressure to not be a wimp in the presence of Obama.

Put the boy in his place, so to speak.

A perfect storm.

[RagAss]

1. If he even looks angry...he'll drop another 10 fucking points.

[Walk away]

2. Even Mitt knows that everyone likes and respects Obama...

he could not be that stupid.

[PCIntern]

3. Yes yes yes....What!!!? Nt

[aquart]

5. None of his friends do. And who else matters?

Think who you're talking about.

[emulatorloo]

23. He lives in the wingnut bubble now

As far as I can tell, he is taking advice from Rush Limbag.

[Cary]

4. Yep, perfect storm

Unlikable candidate with unlikable policies and who talks down to the public attacks well-liked, mainstream president.

How could it be more perfect?

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. He'll come off like an angry, arrogant CEO-type, and that'll finish him off for good.

The first time he goes red in the face during the debate, it means he's cooked.

[Lex]

21. This

is what I was thinking too.

[loyalsister]

24. And that would be the parent clone

of thousands of bosses you fired thousands of people in this country.

[Voice for Peace]

26. it may show up first in his hair

when it gets out of place, it's a sign he's getting frantic.

[RKP5637]

7. Typical, they will eat their own! n/t

[Solomon]

8. They're telling him he's been too much of a nice guy.

LOL.

[graywarrior]

9. There goes his fragile mental state.

[grasswire]

11. he could use a little duct tape party

dontcha think?

[graywarrior]

14. .

[HarveyDarkey]

31. From earlier, I guess they're changing strategy

[annabanana]

10. He will be pissy and petulant.

Everybody's worst boss.

[grasswire]

12. an angry white overlord hectoring a younger black man?

OBOY. This is going to be good for us.

Legendary!

[NBachers]

13. No No, he's got a bunch of "zingers" memorized and he'll pop 'em out just like a jack-in-the-box

!POP! Goes the Weasel

Whut a supriiise that will be!

Be prepared to see media saturation ads of Romney shooting out these "off the cuff zingers."

That'll really show 'em!

[Voice for Peace]

25. do you think... will he dare..

"there you go again......."



will that be one of the zingers?

If only there were hackers who knew how to hack into his program.
Or.. hmmm.. the wiring is just under his skin.
Just need to get there somehow under his skin and he'll misfire.

I predict at least one zinger will come at a completely wrong
moment and will therefore make no sense.

[BuelahWitch]

15. Instead of a $10,000 bet

He'll up the ante to $100,000. Maybe more. This is the President, after all.

[Cali_Democrat]

16. Hannity has been trying to resurrect Jeremiah Wright the past few days

I wouldn't be surprised if Romney brings it up. There's a faction within the GOP that seems to think flogging Rev. Wright again and again will bring Romney victory.

[Lex]

27. Cuz it worked so well for McCain.

Oh, wait.

[Bucky]

17. Thanks for the reminder that he's too weak for the job, guys.

[gulliver]

18. He knows better.

He won't try it. Mitt has to keep playing the new "lie-hedge" that Rachel Maddow so excellently observed him doing. For big audiences, Mitt has to say what they want to hear. Then his people quietly take it all back with reporters. Mitt can't be Mr. Republican Tough Guy for large audiences. The idiots on the Tea Party Republican side (bless them) want that, but it would be suicide.

Mitt knows that if he tries to be like the Tea Partiers, he will sink to the bottom of the ocean (and then another ten feet into the silt). And even after Romney did what the Tea Party wanted and sank, the Tea Party would just say he sank because he didn't sell their crazy ideas well.

[union_maid]

19. He should do it!

You know...like after the attack in Libya. He was tough on Obama then. Remind me...how'd that work out for him?

[Voice for Peace]

20. When Mitt gets tough, he turns into a mean faced spluttering blustering liar.

bring it on

[magical thyme]

22. Hmmm. So far, every time Mitt takes a swing at Obama

he ends up punching himself in the face. So I say, "BRING IT ON, MITT!!!!"

[bunnies]

28. I think its only a matter of time until mitt blows a gasket.

My hope is that he does it during one of the debates.

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. He'd blow anything for a vote.

[porphyrian]

30. I can't wait to see this...

[renie408]

32. That's a big mistake. Mitt does not do well when he tries to be stern and people

already don't like him. And he WILL NOT get a rise out of Obama, who is the coolest guy on earth. He is going to look desperate and angry and ultimately his effort to look strong will just make him look weak.

And the pundits can spin that one all they want. People have a visceral reaction to things like that and no amount of talking head spin will change what they feel in their gut.

[hrmjustin]

33. he is good at debating
