Consultants conned Romney campaign?
By: R. Neal  shortURL

Among the many stupid Republican excuses for their humiliating loss to Obama, there might actually be some legitimacy to this one. Money quote: "If you're in the con game and you don’t know who the mark is... you’re the mark."

Romney's whole career at Bain

Romney's whole career at Bain has been one con job after another so I doubt his campaign was conned, unless they were willing victims.

I am the grandson of a guy who loved a good grift and the ultimate mark was another grifter. Bravo, dear GOP grifter, Bravo.

The bitter irony of this

The bitter irony of this entire endeavor was that a supposedly small government candidate gutted the local structure of GOTV efforts in favor of a centralized, faceless organization in a far off place (in this case, their Boston headquarters). Wrap your head around that.

"most of us felt like we are in a bubble"

Wasn't that basically the story of the RNC and the Romney campaign in a nutshell?
