GOP strategist: Success of auto bailout 'a kick in the balls' for Romney

Wed Sep 26, 2012 at 09:43 AM PDT
by Jed Lewison


As the conversation drifted towards Ohio,
Romney and Ryan shifted their hands into a defensive position

Here's one of the reasons that President Obama is leading Mitt Romney by 10 points in the latest Quinnipiac/New York Times/CBS survey of Ohio:

More than twice as many Ohioans think the auto rescue plan was a success than think it was a failure.

Do you think the government loans to the American auto industry were mostly a success or mostly a failure?

Mostly a success: 62
Mostly a failure: 30

And while Obama gets credit for saving the auto industry, Mitt Romney's plan was to simply let Detroit go bankrupt. Given that one in eight Ohio jobs are linked to the auto industry, it's not hard to see why the issue plays well for President Obama, a fact lamented by a GOP strategist with this colorful language [ ttp://www.cnn.com/2012/09/26/politics/romney-ohio/index.html ].
Putting a finer point on the matter, one longtime Ohio GOP strategist called Obama's advantage on the auto bailout "a kick in the balls" for the Romney campaign.

With all due respect to Mitt Romney's family jewels, if he'd gotten his way, tens if not hundreds of thousands of Ohioans would have gotten far worse than a kick in the balls: They'd have lost the industry upon which they depend for their livelihood.
But it is worth remembering that even Republicans realize that good news for America is bad news for Romney.

Relaxed. Because he's winning.


Not a lot of states on our battleground list have updated since Monday [ http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/09/24/1135897/-Battleground-snapshot-Obama-expands-lead-Romney-craters] when we last did a snapshot, but the two biggest ones on the list did, so it merited a new look. I also wanted to compare the state of the race today with where things stood exactly four years ago.

Romney staff quick to correct Romney, slow to correct falsehoods

The Rachel Maddow Show
September 26, 2012

Rachel Maddow demonstrates that contrary to Mitt Romney's claim that his campaign corrects or removes anything "amiss" in his ads, he continues to maintain several demonstrably false ads on his site, and the one thing the campaign does correct is Romney, who frequently misstates his own positions.
