DNC chair says Romney's support eroding despite N.H. win

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, just released a statement in which she argues that despite Mitt Romney's sizable margin of victory in New Hampshire, the candidate failed to meet expectations.

Here's the statement:

"Mitt Romney may have won in New Hampshire tonight, but he can't run from the fact that his support was rapidly eroding before any vote was even cast. Over the course of the last few months Romney had the support of as much as 45 percent of the primary electorate -- at one point boasting a nearly 30 percent lead over the rest of the GOP field. But tonight he fell far short of meeting expectations -- especially in a state where he’s a part-time resident, which is next door to his home state of Massachusetts, in the same media market. He fell short next to a state where he raised a family and served as governor, and where he’s been running on and off for political office over nearly two decades and for president for seven years.

I am not touching the Kosher line, but; she certainly is annoying as hell to me. She runs her mouth like ever liberal and continues to go back to the party spin lines right after real factual numbers are shown to her. These people are in total denial. They are brain washed worse then any POW ever could have been by communists.

Sadly, if Debbie Was-a-man Sh**tz says something, then I know the opposite is the truth... >_<

Loved your line about named for a syphillis test! I worked as a civilian employee on an Air Force Base many years ago and one of the airman cracked me up when he said, “better to have flunked your Wasserman, than never to have loved at all.”

If conservatives teamed up with the DNC to defeat Romney it would make for an absolutely perfect analogy to the U.S. teaming up with the Soviets to defeat the Nazis in WW2.
ftw!
