Democrats really think they’re onto something with Mitt Romney’s awkward non-endorsement turned “110%” support for an Ohio bill limiting unions’ collective bargaining ability. The state party put out a parody press release on Thursday pegged to this weekend’s Ohio State game: “Mitt Romney to Attend OSU-Wisconsin Game this Saturday – Will Root for Whomever is Winning at the Time”
From the release:
COLUMBUS – The Ohio Democratic Party has learned that professional presidential candidate and serial flip-flopper Mitt Romney will attend this Saturday’s OSU-Wisconsin game during a brief campaign stop in Columbus. However, in a not-so-surprising development, Mr. Romney will refuse to address anything about the game or cheer for one of the teams. The former governor of Massachusetts has told Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine that, despite his plan to wear a red shirt, he is unfamiliar with the game or the teams and will cheer for whomever is leading at the time.
Once Romney leaves the state, after conservative bloggers and his Republican primary opponents pan his visit as another example of Romney waffling on every issue, the former Massachusetts Governor will announce which team he was in fact rooting for, saying that he “fully supports” that team “110 percent.”
Romney’s SB 5 episode is drawing equal fire from not only Democrats, but Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry as well, both of whom are stepping up efforts to define the Massachusetts governor as a serial flip flopper. Expect to see plenty more videos, releases, ads, and more from both sides along these lines.
