Rolling into the convention. Should be a good week. Disastrous GOP convention. Empty chairs were talked to. No bounce for Mittens.
But these are Democrats we're talking about here.
Gov. Martin O'Malley blows it for Team Obama:
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said “no” to the question of whether the country is better off than four years ago on Sunday, setting off a flurry of GOP tweets, emails and statements publicizing his admission.
On the Sunday talk show circuit leading up to the Democratic National Convention, hosts several times asked Obama campaign surrogates whether Americans are better off than they were four years ago.
Most demurred on the question, but O’Malley said “No.”
“Can you honestly say that people are better off today than they were four years ago?” CBS’ Bob Schieffer asked O’Malley on “Face the Nation.”
O’Malley replied: “No, but that’s not the question of this election. The question, without a doubt, we are not as well off as we were before George Bush brought us the Bush job losses, the Bush recession, the Bush deficits, the series of desert wars — charged for the first time to credit cards, the national credit cards.”
Congrats, Gov! It was all going so well and you handed the momentum RIGHT FUCKING BACK to the bad guys.
Hope the convention drowns this out, but I see a few well-funded ads coming down the pike.
I can understand the liberal need to be intellectually honest, but come on. This is why we lose.
(Can't wait for his opinions on Wall Street. Are Democrats just too plain mean to rich bankers? Only Cory Booker knows for sure!)
