Last night's Fux Channel Rethuglican debate apparently was somewhat of a downer for flip-flopping weather vane Willard "Mittens" Romney, who came under attack from all sides. Examples:
* Rick "Google My Name" Santorum hit Mittens on his position for allowing violent felons to vote while on probation or parole;
* Rick "Oops" Perry nailed Mittens on his failure to disclose his tax returns (this should be a Dem issue, too, because we'd bet that Mittens has a lot to hide).
*Poot Gingrich assailed the plastic one on his Super PAC ads (pot meet kettle) and its dishonest claims.
In each case, Mittens' robotic demeanor failed him, as he appeared alternately embarrassed, prickly, upset, and speechless. The conventional wisdom is that Mittens has a low boiling point, views himself as elite and therefore above answering questions, and can't take some hard probing. He's already coronated himself in his own mind, and he can't understand why the "little people" don't fall into line. Dems take note: he can't take a punch.
