Great Quote

Via CNN:

According to The Washington Post poll, 64% of Ohio registered voters view the federal loans to GM and Chrysler as "mostly good" for the state's economy. Only 29% said the bailout was "mostly bad." 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.

The CNN article also discusses how the Romney Camp is irked by Republican Gov. John Kasich's "relentless boosterism for the uptick in Ohio job creation." RomneyCo does not like how the Ohio Governor's position "runs counter to the national Republican message that Obama's policies have kept the economy from bouncing back."

And by the way, how do you know that your presidential campaign isn't going well?  When your running mate starts referring to you as "Stench" (via Politico):

Paul Ryan has gone rogue. He is unleashed, unchained, off the hook.

“I hate to say this, but if Ryan wants to run for national office again, he’ll probably have to wash the stench of Romney off of him,” Craig Robinson, a former political director of the Republican Party of Iowa, told The New York Times on Sunday.

Coming from a resident of Iowa, a state where people are polite even to soybeans, this was a powerful condemnation of the Republican nominee.

Though Ryan had already decided to distance himself from the floundering Romney campaign, he now feels totally uninhibited. Reportedly, he has been marching around his campaign bus, saying things like, “If Stench calls, take a message” and “Tell Stench I’m having finger sandwiches with Peggy Noonan and will text him later.”

Wow. Satirical perhaps, but brutal.
