Romney says debates have 'supercharged' his campaign

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-romney-presidential-debate-campaign-20121023,0,1680900.story

HENDERSON, Nev. — ....."More than 6,000 people crowded into an outdoor amphitheater in Henderson to see Romney and his running mate, Paul D. Ryan, who had just flown in from Grand Junction, Colo.

“These debates have supercharged our campaign, there's no question about it,” Romney said. “We're seeing more and more enthusiasm, more and more support.”"

I could just imgaine the buzz created by 4000 bussed-in casino worked paid by Steve Wynn to stand there and clap.

PS - it is just comical that Sheldon is forcing RMoney to come to Nevada when he won't win it and he really should be in Ohio.....and Virginia.....and Florida......and New Hampshire......and Wisconsin.

9. Romney email to supporters this morning:

"I’m glad I had the opportunity to debate President Obama last night, and I hope you were able to watch. I wouldn’t have been there if it weren’t for supporters like you, and I appreciate you standing with me.

If elected, Paul Ryan and I, and the Republican team, will work to restore strength to America,"
blah, blah, and blah.

The email goes on to ask for more money.

Isn't this message just full of fired-up, super-charged enthusiasm?

Seriously. I've never seen such a loser campaign message, ever. Romney (and his people) couldn't even be bothered with the usual spin - Wasn't I GREAT last night? Don't you think I put Obama in his place? Did you notice how I absolutely dazzled the audience with my style? Didn't I pass the C-in-C test with flying colors?"

Zero, nada, nuthin'. Just a passing admission that he'd showed up at the debate, and then a plea for money.

Doesn't strike me as a message from someone who believes his campaign is "super-charged". Sounds more like a guy who knows he's already lost - and the fact that his team didn't even attempt to put a positive spin on last night's debate is, IMHO, very telling.

he has to be doing a major cost-benefit analysis on the state of his cashflow vs. internal polling. Will he continue to spend millions more on messaging if the data tells him the PR campaign is a failure? More importantly, will the big contributors - who view Mitt's campaign as a business investment - keep funding this loser? How much personal money will Mitt burn for his ego?

or something...did you guys see the way he was blinking last night during the debate? His eyes could have provided enough power to light up half of Chicago's city street lights.

I feel very sure I've read that blinking of the eyes is indicative of lying. As is licking the lips. As is looking to the left, and onscreen Romney was on the left, Obama on the right in the split screen view.

but we are programmed by our corporate media to think flawed polls which somehow find parity amongst the voter numbers are more believable than our lying eyes.
