Romney: Obama has 'incredible shrinking campaign'
2012-10-20


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Mitt Romney charged Friday that Democrats have resorted to "silly word games" to try to win the election after President Obama on Friday accused him of "Romnesia" in changing his earlier stances.

At a huge rally here on the beach in Florida amid Biketoberfest, a bike rally that draws tens of thousands of motorcycle owners, Mr. Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, pleaded with Florida to deliver its critical votes on Nov. 6.
'Pleaded'? There's a difference between asking and begging...
It takes a brave man to go toe to toe with the Hell's Angels when they're celebrating. Not that there were necessarily tens of thousands of biker gangs there, but still.
And Mr. Romney continued to make his post-debate case that Mr. Obama has abandoned a positive vision for the country and is instead running on a message of attacking the GOP.
How do you 'abandon' what you never had?
"They've been reduced to petty attacks and silly word games," he said. "Just watch it. The Obama campaign has become the incredible shrinking campaign."

For the last five months the campaign has lurched regularly from deep policy differences to name-calling and back to policy, and right now it appears the name-calling is back in vogue. Indeed, Mr. Obama has delivered a string of catch-phrase attacks this week, beginning in Tuesday's debate when he said Mr. Romney's tax plan is a "sketchy deal."

On Friday, campaigning in northern Virginia, Mr. Obama accused Mr. Romney of altering his positions to win election, and deployed his latest zinger.

"I mean, he's changing up so much and backtracking and sidestepping -- we've got to name this condition that he's going through. I think it's called 'Romnesia,'" Mr. Obama said. "That's what it's called. I think that's what he's going through."
He does get inordinate pleasure out of his little verbal aggressions. I imagine he was thought quite the card back in the choom gang.
Mr. Romney has done his own mocking, saying on Wednesday that the president is so devoid of an agenda that he's "running on fumes."

On Friday he met up with Mr. Ryan and they campaigned together in front of a crowd the campaign said numbered 8,500. Mr. Romney takes the rest of the weekend off to prepare for Monday night's final debate.

#2  Iff the Bammer's campaign is "shrinking", Mittens' campaign is seemingly failing to break out from the statistical MOE.

Although the race "isn't over until its over", as things stand wid 17 days left, it STILL appears that the Bammer will win re-election albeit in a close race???

"BENGHAZI-GATE" is NOT, I repeat NOT - spelled K-N-U-T - the "October Surprise" that should've.

DARE "HANGING SHARDS" BE POSSIBLE???
