So mean. So good.
"Watch Mitt Romney's Facebook Likes Decrease in Real Time."
It's really amazing when you consider how furiously Jennifer Rubin is creating fake Facebook accounts just to keep liking him again.

Now, who will clean
up his Twitter account?

Does it matter? I mean, he's going to bomb, uh, all of them, anyway.
Still, it's worth noting that our boy Willard is about as good at geography as he is at math.
In conclusion, if by some chance he should lose this election, I hear there's an opening that he'd be perfect for, in the cartography department at FoxNews.

Yawn. Another endorsement from the liberal media. Wait, what?
After opening with a couple of glowing paragraphs, this:
[...] In short, this is the Mitt Romney we knew, or thought we knew, as one of us.
Sadly, it is not the only Romney, as his campaign for the White House has made abundantly clear, first in his servile courtship of the tea party in order to win the nomination, and now as the party’s shape-shifting nominee. From his embrace of the party’s radical right wing, to subsequent portrayals of himself as a moderate champion of the middle class, Romney has raised the most frequently asked question of the campaign: "Who is this guy, really, and what in the world does he truly believe?"
The evidence suggests no clear answer, or at least one that would survive Romney’s next speech or sound bite. [...]
If this portrait of a Romney willing to say anything to get elected seems harsh, we need only revisit his branding of 47 percent of Americans as freeloaders who pay no taxes, yet feel victimized and entitled to government assistance. His job, he told a group of wealthy donors, "is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
Where, we ask, is the pragmatic, inclusive Romney, the Massachusetts governor who left the state with a model health care plan in place, the Romney who led Utah to Olympic glory? That Romney skedaddled and is nowhere to be found.
And in conclusion:
In considering which candidate to endorse, [the editorial board] had hoped that Romney would exhibit the same talents for organization, pragmatic problem solving and inspired leadership that he displayed here more than a decade ago. Instead, we have watched him morph into a friend of the far right, then tack toward the center with breathtaking aplomb. Through a pair of presidential debates, Romney’s domestic agenda remains bereft of detail and worthy of mistrust.
Therefore, our endorsement must go to the incumbent, a competent leader who, against tough odds, has guided the country through catastrophe and set a course that, while rocky, is pointing toward a brighter day. The president has earned a second term. Romney, in whatever guise, does not deserve a first.
And by "[the editorial board]," we mean "The Salt Lake Tribune editorial board."

I know wingnuts will take it the completely wrong way ...
... but the choice of adjective in this NYT headline, about Willard's decline in the polls, speaks volumes:
Tired Cries of Bias Don’t Help Romney
It's worth reading the whole thing, although approximately zero of the people who most could benefit from it won't. In any case, I can't resist passing along this gem from near the end:
A senior adviser, meanwhile, said the Romney campaign now has a “no-whining rule” about news coverage. (Mr. Ryan apparently missed the memo.)

Romney Apologizes To Nation's 150 Million 'Starving, Filthy Beggars'
[...]
“I know just how hard it must be to get through a miserable, destitute life that is rife with crying babies whose shrieks consistently disrupt the affluent members of society who actually contribute something to this world,” said the GOP candidate, adding that he wanted to make amends for his recent statements and reach out to what he called the country’s “snaggle-toothed street people” and “hell-spawned savages.” “I know it can be challenging to wake each morning, covered in your own feces and refuse, and get back out there on the streets to beg for spare change and food scraps, always one step from dying right there in an alley.”
“I know your challenges, and I am ready to fight for you,” he added
Ok, yeah.

Hey, Mitt Romney: we're cartographers and we're here to help!
The Obama campaign has a request:
We think this may be a useful guide:

He had a pet rock, which ran away from home because it was starved of affection.
("He" being The Least Interesting Man In The World, Mitt Romney.)
Great line! Who said it?
You would not believe me if I told you, so I will just link and then we can all sit around wondering how it got to be April 1st so quickly.

Mitt Romney would do a soccer potluck with Idi Amin and the Tamil Tigers if it got the Family Research Council off his back for a week.
-- Jesse Taylor
Oh no he di'n't!
Mitt's birther comment has officially gone viral. 8+ pages on Google now.
Capping off another week of talking about everything EXCEPT the economy. His advisers and apologists will be spending the whole weekend explaining it, walking it back, etc. Woo hoo! This, along with the Aiken mess translates into a very bad week for the Mittster.
Looks like!
Dude doesn't even know how to dog-whistle.

The Bain Files: Inside Mitt
— bjkeefe (@bjkeefe) August 23, 2012#Romney's Tax-Dodging Cayman Schemes | "more than 950 pages" on@gawker gawker.com/5936394/the-ba… h/t@140elect#tcot
Today, we are publishing more than 950 pages of internal audits, financial statements, and private investor letters for 21 cryptically named entities in which Romney had invested—at minimum—more than $10 million as of 2011 (that number is based on the low end of ranges he has disclosed—the true number is almost certainly significantly higher). Almost all of them are affiliated with Bain Capital …
Aside to Willard: this doesn't excuse you from releasing your tax returns.
