Now the flip-flopping piece of excrement claims Tennessee is another homestate? Well, at least he picked a homestate where he actually has a shot of winning. LOL!
Where on earth does the GOP find these clowns?
They are created in a super secret lab owned by the Koch Brothers...

Hey...Newt got my vote with $2.50 per gallon gas and a moonbase...

I guess Michiganders are attached to their trees.
He needs to show how corrupt he can be to get my vote when he comes to Illinois...
Does he have any idea how ridiculous he looks when he does stuff like this? He would have been better off talking about the trees in Tennessee. Equally inane, but it makes him look much less desperate to please. It's just painful to watch this guy attempting to connect to ordinary people. It's so obvious that he doesn't have a clue.
LOL! Sorry, Dixie, but with Mitt's delivery it would have been awkward no matter what the context.
I agree, it is Mitt's delivery that is awkward, not necessarily what he has to say. He tries to appear like the guy you will have a beer with, strike that, coffee with, strike that, a tea with, strike that, a water with; but he is just the business guy. Play to your strengths (like in the debates) and people will not find him awkward.
Is the lady in the gray suit next to kid picking his tooth, texting?
Why is no one really paying attention to him? These optics are all wrong for Mitt.
He's not a people person, he needs to stand in front of a poster, or a big fountain or something....
If this guy does become president (and I STILL think he's got about a 50-50 chance, unfortunately), is he ever going to relax and be himself? IS there a "self" where Romney's concerned?
The most natural I've ever seen him, was last week, when he accidentally related his true opinion on the BC controversy in that Ohio News Service interview. It was only for a sentence or two, but Mitt's response was free of pander. His eyes weren't the size of silver dollars, like they are when he's amped. I remember thinking, "Where is THAT guy? I'd still wouldn't vote for him, But at least he seemed authentic.
Alas... "Daveeey, Davy Crockett, king of the wild fronteeeer..."
Mitt is uncomfortable awkward in front of crowds. I don't know how people leave his events liking him more. After debates I can see, but campaign stops baffle me.
I don't think he is uncomfortable in front of crowds per se. He is extremely uncomfortable in front of crowds of the unwashed masses that he does not have authority over and he needs to like him. I am sure that he would act right at home if he was speaking to a large crowd of employees that he could fire if they didn't respond the right way.
I think the crowd has very little to do with his awkward behavior, he is just uncomfortable with any situation in which he cannot simply command people to do what he wants.
