Now, this is going to be a short and sweet diary, but lets look at this logically. Mitts base is white men. White men LOVE football. They love to talk about it. They love to watch it. And right now, they are ALL talking about it, specifically the referee lockout and its impact on the outcome of games.
What I want to know is: why is Romney NOT being asked about this? It may seem like a petty issue to non football fans, but there are very few things that white men find sacred in this country, and NFL football is one of them.
If you want to put a wedge between Mitt and his "base", lets get him on the record on this to serve the following purposes:
1) expose a gaffe similar to the "some of my friends own NASCAR teams" variety
2) expose him as NOT one of the guys
3) expose him as someone who does NOT have anything in common with the average joe.
4) expose him as someone who a) supports the refs AND THEIR UNION or b) supports the scabs and the anti union busting that the GOP is famous for.
5) Ask him what his team is: get him on record. There ARE MANY fans who against whatever team he is for. If he says a team in Ohio, Michigan, or any other swing state HE IS OBVIOUSLY PANDERING.
POLITICOS!!! ARE YOU LISTENING!!
This may seem like a silly issue to many of us, but there could NOT BE a more important issue, especially in the SWING STATE of Wisconsin, the home of The Green Bay Packers, who were just screwed by the scab referees.
ASK MITT ABOUT THE REFS!!!
Sorry for the short diary. There is really nothing else to be said on the topic.
