Video: Mitt’s last ad in Iowa

posted at 12:13 pm on December 31, 2007 by Allahpundit

Is this snoozer really his parting shot before the caucus? Politico says so, but Huck’s ready to roll out some new attack ads within the next few hours that Mitt would be wise not to let go unanswered. (Expect abortion and dishonesty about his record to figure prominently.) Doubtless Team Romney has a little something on the shelf for Wednesday afternoon. In the meantime, am I reading too much into this one to see an echo of Huck’s Christmas ad in the treatment of the flag in the background? It starts out on the left where the “cross” did and then slowly moves right behind the candidate as the camera turns, a symbolic counterpoint to Huckabee’s “Christian leader” iconography/demagoguery. Or have I simply been so numbed by the tedium of campaign ads that I’m inventing secret messages to entertain myself?

Now there’s a dusty old name…I haven’t seen that sketch for at least ten years. Still remember it was funny!

There is some amazing irony in your commentary – someone who sounds remarkably like a spoiled child calling me “juvenile” and “deliberately obtuse” for not being able to make sense of your delusional fantasies. I’ll have to leave it to others to make sense of your blatherings – which begin with the false premise- that the narcissistic Marxist grifter Obama and Romney are like ideological fraternal twins. It then wanders off into something I can’t comprehend. I gather it has something to do with being pissed off that Sarah Palin didn’t run as a third party Tea Party candidate, and thus being left with no choice but to stomp your foot, pick up your ball, and stay home? Or maybe you had Ron Paul in mind? Who the hell knows. I’m not going to waste any more time trying to make sense of your nonsensical ‘analysis’.

Romney did not rise to the occasion in the election, so why expect him to do so here?

He lost by 3%, not a blow out, but a loss is a loss. He is a good and accomplished man who would have been a far better president than Obama who had no real accomplishments before his political life began. Romney isn’t a conservative and maybe that is why he lost but he is a respectable and humble man.

He should be sorry he lost because he passed on the opportunity to unseat the Liar of Benghazi (oh, yes, where is that report now? What has the admnistration discovered?).

In a sense, this lack of political judgment disqualified him. We should have known not to nominate a person unable to beat McCain.
