"He sheds his personas like a snake shedding its skin"

[Sugarcoated]

James Lipton from the Actor's Studio, about Mitt the prep school bully, on Hardball. What a great analogy!

1. Except that when a snake sheds its skin there's still a snake inside.

I don't think Mittens is anything but layers of skin, and you can keep peeling away until there's nothing left.

2. Lipton was dead on the money about President Obama's performance.

President Obama did nothing to cut the legs from under Romney as Romney lied and lied. A lot of people felt the President let them down last night. The Obama team can spin as much as it wants, run commercials and have big rallies with adoring supporters, but the big fact remains that in the next two debates, President Obama has to step up and courteously destroy Romney every time Romney lies.

3. I think Obama's giving Mitt enough rope to jerk his head clean off..

I'm more of an O-skeptic than an O-bot but the man clearly plays the long game better than most, I"d wait and see how things develop.

When someone spouts that much bullshit as quickly as Romney did it's hard to even address it all, let alone refute it.

Romney and Ryan are both getting a well deserved reputation for being dishonest.
