Romney's foot in mouth disease. Obamacare.

He says a lot of stupid, stupid things. But even rehearsed, I don't know if there is clever way for him to sell his role in Romneycare, while calming to dismantle Obamacare if he wins office.

In my opinion, Romney is better off leaving that topic well alone.

Made me think, surely there is a list of topics and opinions Romeny has expressed that could be termed as an achilles heel for him.

Care to add?

normally it's the republicans who hit below the belt while we try to talk about issues.

democrats will always talk about issues, of course, but rmoney can't help but call his own character into question. he's more gaffe-prone than biden is accused of being!

eventually the media will report on the rmoney gaffe/character meme enough for the republican machine to blame democrats for getting nasty first, and they'll use that as a justification for throwing everything they can at obama.


as for the obama's health insurance law, rmoney HAS to talk about it. republicans have built up a lot of anger and resentment about that law, and he needs to tap into that somehow. but you're right, he's totally compromised on that topic.
