GLOVES OFF
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney may be putting on a brave face for the cameras after losing out to Gov. Sarah Palin for the veepship, but his ever-loyal cadre of aides and consultants and conservative media types continue to work for him.

Almost every critical remark made about Palin on a recent briefing call about her selection came from political consultants with ties to Romney. Those comments were planted, says one, because they knew that reporters would be on the call.

PRACTICE AND POLISH
Sen. Barack Obama’s pitch perfect response regarding the announcement of an impending birth in the Palin family (”my mother had me when she was 18”) was not without a series of edits and rehearsals, according to some Obama insiders.

“For tough questions we know he will get to questions we plant with reporters that we want asked, [senior campaign staff] will rehearse [Obama’s] answer with him.”

The goal: to get his inflection and tone, as well as the content, just right.

“After he flubbed the hypothetical question about his own daughter’s pregnancy, the campaign has worked with him to avoid what appear to be insensitive or unthoughtful answers,” says an Obama Senate staffer.

To be moved to stab this man in the back after he left the stage leads me to believe you are a George Soros operative. This is the only rational explanation for your remarks to attempt to drag a red herring to distract voters from Obama.

Give it a break. I’m so tired of these mythical “romney operatives” who never are identified and in fact don’t exist.

“For tough questions we know he will get to questions we plant with reporters that we want asked, [senior campaign staff] will rehearse [Obama’s] answer with him.” Are they admitting that the MSM is working in concert with Obama?
