Mitt Romney Sends Leftover Pizza to Obama Chicago HQ
ABC News ^ | May 26, 2011 | The Note

Posted on 05/27/2011 4:00:33 AM PDT by 1010RD

After spending the day in Chicago fundraising, Mitt Romney sat down with small business owners at Gino's East, a pizza joint famous for their deep-dish pizza.

Not wanting any of the leftover slices to go to waste, Romney sent the remaining pies to where else but President Obama's Chicago reelection headquarters.

Asked if the pies actually made it to Obama's HQ, a campaign source said that they had.

In fact, Romney himself tweeted a photo of a delivery boy heading out with the loot, writing, "Great deep dish at @ginoseast. Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team."

Presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty also took a swipe at Obama today with this tweet: "@barackobama sorry to interrupt the European pub crawl, but what was your Medicare plan?"

Oh, I can believe it. If the GOP establishment were smart, they’d unite behind Pawlenty instead of Romney.

But “smart” isn’t exactly a word normally associated with the GOP establishment, is it?

That’s exactly what we need. We’ve got to suppress his voters and capture the mushy middle at the same time.

Nope, she gets it better than you. Palin knows just how much the death by a thousand cuts hurts. She’s lived/living it.

What’s significant about this is that our ‘front runner’ is cutting. We need them all to cut and cut and cut.

If you like Palin, you’ll applaud this. She’s been marginalized as a crack-pot, extremist conservative. Reality is much different than that.

The MSM touts our RINOs as reasonable, thoughtful and moderate. That they attack Obama actually moves the boundaries for the entire race and quickly. Now, Palin’s comments are mainstream too, do you get it?

Here's my problem with such antics: while Republican candidates play their little college pranks and report them to a news media that won't ever lift a finger to help them, Obama's team is busy going through their hotel, billing and medical records looking for even the smallest smudge that the media will report in a heartbeat. That is how the game is played in Chicago.

I’m with you. I hate the panty-waist tactics of the GOP, but you can be morally superior while hammering away at the very real weaknesses of Obama.

Reagan did it and destroyed Carter. Obama is Carter Cubed and that just makes for an even richer target.

What’s next? Calling the HQ and asking for Prince Albert in a can? Asking if Dick Hertz is there?

Feel free to add your favorite prank call if I’ve missed one

I actually thought it was kind of funny. A nice “rules for radicals” type tactic.

Disagree that T-Paw’s “swipe” earned him any points. We all know what Obama’s Medicare plan is.

There’s only one use for leftover pizza:

BREAKFAST

And sending leftover pizza to Obama’s re-election office does this how?

More like a tactic the Omegas would use on the Deltas. (obscure “Animal House” movie reference)

Palin hasn’t done anything this embarrassingly stupid.

That’s why it works. There is no answer. Is it mean? Is it kind?

You can’t build a campaign on it, but it works.

Step away from the keyboard for a moment. Breath into a paper bag, then read this:

For Palin to win and I don’t mean the nomination, but the Presidency, she will have to move into the mainstream. That’s a fact of American Presidential politics.

To do that she’ll need to triangulate, just like Reagan did. That’s hard on us because we want her to stay just like she is. At some level she’ll have to moderate to tie up the mushy middle. What’s the alternative?

The mainstream moves toward her. Obama needs to be wounded deeply in the mind of the mushy middle for Palin to win. She cannot win without them and she’s damaged goods right now.
