Not that any of this matters in terms of the election, pundits are more interested in pointing and giggling at Romney's latest cluelessness sound/video bite. Obama must be thanking his lucky stars his opponent is so stupid, no ****.

it is dangerous to underestimate an idiot as dubya proved twice...and mitt is by no means as dimwitted as w...no one comes close except for maybe sarah palin and a few other beauty queens...

Romney's no idiot, he's running an idiotic campaign - big difference.

[Jono]

I think its obvious Romney is not a stupid person or an idiot. Brilliant businessmen and has got the Republican nomination by being pretty savvy at times (of course at other times downright retarded).

But some of his gaffes over the last 12 months suggest he is more ignorant than many thought.

Bush ran an excellent campaign and he was not really a flip flop master.

The officially-approved narrative about Benghazi is falling apart and some are getting testy about the questioning of it using the time-honoured trick of bagging the media for doing their job.

Obama has been really terrible on a LOT of issues (domestic spying, drone attacks, other foreign policy)...it sucks that there is really no other option.

Clinton/Warren 2016, I'm telling you, ****.

[silentstriker]

I'm not sure if Clinton will necessarily be different on many of these issues tbf...Warren might be but she can't win a national election.

Mario Cuomo should get it IMO. Hillary sounds too ****ing tired to mount another presidential run (and Cuomo's no mug, so it would be a seriously prolonged primary).

This vid actually made me feel sorry for Mittens.

The idea that GWB was of below average intelligence is such a massive, massive myth tbh.

Was once pretty much jammed up against him in an elevator packed with other people. Looked me up and down as if I were an insect.

[silentstriker]

Andrew Cuomo ftw. I would vote for him in a second. He knows how to get things done. Politically smart yet shares my ideology? That's new.

Do you look like an insect, or is he just a condescending human being?
