Heh...the same people who stabbed Sarah Palin in the back in 2008 are now stabbing Romney in the back in 2012.
Karma, baby!

Stuart Stevens, Mitt Romney’s top strategist, knew his candidate’s convention speech needed a memorable mix of loft and grace if he was going to bound out of Tampa with an authentic chance to win the presidency. So Stevens, bypassing the speechwriting staff at the campaign’s Boston headquarters, assigned the sensitive task of drafting it to Peter Wehner, a veteran of the last three Republican White Houses and one of the party’s smarter wordsmiths.
Not a word Wehner wrote was ever spoken.
Stevens junked the entire thing, setting off a chaotic, eight-day scramble that would produce an hour of prime-time problems for Romney, including Clint Eastwood’s meandering monologue to an empty chair.
Romney’s convention stumbles have provoked weeks of public griping and internal sniping about not only Romney but also his mercurial campaign muse, Stevens. Viewed warily by conservatives, known for his impulsiveness and described by a colleague as a “tortured artist,” Stevens has become the leading staff scapegoat for a campaign that suddenly is behind in a race that had been expected to stay neck and neck through Nov. 6.
This article is based on accounts from Romney aides, advisers and friends, most of whom refused to speak on the record because they were recounting private discussions and offering direct criticism of the candidate and his staff, Stevens in particular.
Stevens, in a lengthy interview Sunday afternoon, defended the campaign’s performance, refused to discuss internal conversations and insisted Romney is doing far better than the pundits portray. “Like all campaigns, we have good days and bad days. I’m happy to take responsibility for the bad days,” he said. “This is a tremendously talented team.”

Politico is not only a Rat organ, but it is the weapon of choice for disgruntled GOP-E staffers and campaign “pros” like Rove, Gillespie, and Rollins. Remember all the GOP-E attacks on Palin? The worst were in Politico, and at the hands of these very same hacks.
You’re right about Politico being an extension of the Obama Campaign, but there are some problems with the Romney Campaign that need to be fixed and quickly.
Please, Politico, tell us about the diaster called Barack Obama.
And by the way, Politco, you’re irrelevant.
Please, Politico, tell us about the disaster called Barack Obama.
And by the way, Politco, you’re irrelevant.
I wonder if the same Romney operatives who screwed Sarah Palin and McCain over in 2008 will accomplish the same thing only on the Romney campaign this time for their real “Paymasters”.
Politico starts the Axelrod crafted meme:

The NYT picks it up from there with concern trolling:
Expect the rest to chime in soon... and be dragged out on television for a few days.
Steve Schmidt v2.0?
Disagree, talking politics is boring, and he has to counter incoherent arguments of Democrat/media, of course we at FreeRepublic have seen most all of it and get sick and tired of the same narrative of Democrat-wrong is always the right thing to do.
Just heard NPR do a fact check article on radio last week and guess what? The Democrats were right and Republicans were wrong, and I knew that was the outcome the minute they started.
NPR does a lot of fact checking — and it is simply staggering how few errors creep into what Obama and the other Democrats say! Those guys are rock solid in their recitation of cold hard facts. [/s]
Really? He has come out with some of his biggest attacks on Obama recently.

Just more ginned-up BS from politico.
Anything from Politico is lies, garbage and propaganda, not necessarily in that order. And if you hate to say something, don’t.
That’s quite the rant George. Is 0bama-Biden paying you by the word?
