It’s hardly a surprise that Democrats would return to one of Mitt Romney’s most visible, symbolic liabilities: the overseas bank accounts. But man, it’s with a vengeance. And with a very hard edge.
This just now from Gov. O’Malley of Maryland …
Governor romney, just because you bank against the united states of america does not mean the rest of us are willing to sell her out. We are americans.
Former Gov. Strickland (D-OH) sets crowd on fire with anti-Romney jeremiad.
Extra Note: Gov. Patrick’s speech struck me as very strong, makes me think he may have more national elected potential than I might have realized. We’ll have a report on that speech soon.
CNN caught up with outgoing Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) this evening. And Frank made an argument I hadn’t heard before, not specifically contrasting the Obama years with the closing months of the Bush administration …
George Bush came to us on the Democratic side in late ’08 and said, we’re in a crisis, we need your help — and we gave it to him, very openly, very fully. Then Obama comes in to try to deal with the terrible situation he inherited from bush and the republican media went into full partisan attack.
Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland was on fire tonight in his convention speech. Here’s a key passage …
Mitt Romney has so little economic patriotism that even his money needs a passport. It summers on the beaches of the Cayman Islands and winters on the slopes of the Swiss Alps. In Matthew, chapter 6, verse 21, the scriptures teach us that where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. My friends, any man who aspires to be our president should keep both his treasure and his heart in the United States of America. And it’s well past time for Mitt Romney to come clean with the American people.
RNC Chair Reince Priebus upset by Kennedy video tribute …
Classless Dems use tribute video of deceased Ted Kennedy to attack Mitt Romney.
— Reince Priebus (@Reince) September 4, 2012
“I am pro-choice. Mitt Romney is multiple choice,” was the big Kennedy line from the video.
I believe Alex Castellanos, on CNN, called it “eviscerating.” I should say so.
If you’re not watching, the Dems are taking Kennedy’s run against Mitt Romney in 1994 making ample use of the video in the Teddy Tribute video to basically make a jackass of Mitt Romney. Giving special focus on Mitt’s declaration of pro-choicedom and so much more. Really ingenious and kinda nasty. The ghost of Teddy returns to crap on Mitt one more time.
Late Update: Our team in the convention hall says the crowd went absolutely nuts.
Campaign for American Values says President Obama will “force gay marriage on this country.”
