   Yo dawg, I heard you liked campaign surrogates, so we sent a surrogate to clean up after the first surrogate, who had to be used because another surrogate wasn't available

Pawlenty must be kicking himself badly for bailing out as early as he did.

He actually had a pretty good chance if he just had stuck it out. If Romney wasn't the boringest, whitest, churchiest candidate left, he wouldn't be the nominee. Pawlenty is boringer, whiter, and dare I say churchier than Romney.

I agree. Around the time people were flailing and looking at Trump I'd imagine they would have flocked over to Pawlenty, and as he wasn't crazy, odds are they could have stayed with him. He could have worn sweatervests and gotten the attention. Sure his campaign would have been running on fumes for a month or so... but money would flow in and he could staff up late.

FTA:But instead of simply cleaning up the mess, Pawlenty decided to praise Sununu ... for supposedly having cleaned up the mess himself.

See sub, Sununu unsaid what he said RETROACTIVELY!! It's how the Romney crew rolls!

They just pretend it never happened.

I said this in another thread.... the more Obama sends the Romney campaign flailing, the more his surrogates, Rush, etc., or going to hit Obama with character attacks. Sorry folks, but from here on out it's nothing but "socialist", "anti-American", "Marxist", "hates rich people", etc. etc. etc.... and the harder Obama's punches land on Romney, the more vile the rhetoric and lies because they have NOTHING.

OK, this is as a good a place as any to ask: When did we start using the word surrogate? I don't remember using it last election, now I hear it every 5 minutes. I feel like this word is to MSNBC (or nbcnews now) as czar was to Foxnews.

So it won't be different than the last four years.

Which is good. The old material is pretty stale and doesn't really work on anyone but the base.

Which just pushes the independents further and further away. I can't wait for the vile that's gonna come out of their mouths when the black man gets another 4 years. It's gonna get UGLY.

Just because you have learned a new word and then start seeing it being used often doesn't mean that it was not in common use before. E.g "Bush surrogate", "Nixon surrogate"
"1973: White House Establishes Nixon Surrogate Program . White House has sel up a special "surrogates program" lo defend Nixon and counter whal il views as ..."

I don't know. I think Pawlenty would have split the "any boring white guy" vote wtih romney and neither would have been able to get the needed delegates.

That sh*t has been flying since before he was elected and will intensify til November no matter what he does.

Funny thing is, Sununu's about the sharpest tool Romney's got but comes off as a hateful dick. Dialed back he'd be an asset but as is he's just playing to the base.

For all the money and experience, Romney's is a pretty pathetic campaign.

What more can possible be said of the guy?

They don't think he is American, they don't think he is Christian, they don't think he is a Capitalist. They do think he is snobby, stupid, a Socialist, a Communist and a Fascist. They think he destroys business, has caused massive unemployment and hates the middle and upper class. They think that he wants to see the not only the downfall of the United States but wants rights stripped from her citizens and then wants to watch Americans suffer and die.

I mean, honestly, the Devil isn't even displayed as poorly as President Obama. What else can they call the guy? A "doody-head"?

I, for one, would love to see one of these dumbshiats really try and tear into his daughters. Nothing would swing the American people faster then some angry jerk-off talking shiat about little Sasha and Malia. And after what the President has done in tracking down top terrorists .... I certainly wouldn't want to be at the top of his shiat list.

Those responsible for sacking the surrogate have been sacked. The surrogate has been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.


New surrogate's name: Gov. Tim Llama.

I don't understand how this is any different than their behavior for the last 42 months.

and I should have read the rest of the thread before posting that, as you have gotten at least three emails notifying you of that exact statement.

So after Sununu the attack dog shiats the bed Camp Rahrahrahmoney sends out yet another meat puppet, Tim Pawlenty, to do damage control and his attempts to walk back the first moron's statement ended up getting mired in a Sununu praise-a-thon?

That it?

Bad campaign is bad and should feel bad.
