First Dude stalker Greta Van Susteren had South Carolina Governor Nikki “Not Gonna Be The Veep” Haley on her I’ll Tee It Up and You Try And Hit It talk thing to discuss Haley’s sweet gig talking to an empty RNC Convention Hall while the delegates are lined up to play touch-the-tit with a reasonable facsimile of their wildest dreams (and I don’t mean dessicated corpse of Ronnie R.). During this conversation Van Susteren asked about Mitt Romney’s faltering campaign and particularly the declining number of Vagina-Americans who are inclined to vote for the less-than-reasonable facsimile of a human being that is Mitt.
After stumbling out the gate much like South Carolina’s greatest hero (and I don’t mean George Tierney of Greeville SC) and blaming it on education, Nikki remembers a conversation she had with a “independent” (there was probably a nametag … just go with it) in Michigan:
HALEY: I think we have to educate more, you know and the more I get out, the more other people get out, we’re starting to see the momentum. It will get down to those last thirty days. It will get down to have gas prices gone up or down? It’s going to get down to what people are feeling in their wallets and their pocketbooks.
And I’ll give you an example. I was stumping for Romney in Michigan and I was at a rally and an independent came up to me and said, you know, I don’t know that much about Gov. Romney, but what I do know is that we deserve better. That’s what this is going to come down to is, don’t settle for what’s not working.
Bless her heart. I think Nikki misunderstood a cry for help.
Next time try blinking in Morse code…

Conservatives sure are into straw. Here we have Haley grasping at whatever straws she can as she tries to turn Romney’s lead lining into a silver cloud.
And we always have Jonah the Fail Goldberg setting up and destroying entire armies of strawmen.
And they’ve managed through three presidents to build economic houses of straw that promptly collapsed under their own weight every time.
Guess they’re hoping to spin Romney’s straw-stuffed head into electoral gold.
I suspect Rmoney might perform better with an empty head.
Romney Surrogates: The Secret CREEP Team, trying to get their own 2016 chance.
Gov. 38% might want to ask her fellow South Carolinians (Stephen Colbert, represent!) what more they were expecting other than dust and deflated balloons. And yes, balloons of straw. C’mon kids, get in line for the 2012 Republican Party favors!
And I love the idea of Presidential Candidate Boudou. Drifting away from the party that hated him, then loved him, then left him adrift.
If I were Mitt Romney, I would right now buy a ranch in Montana and retire there with Rafalca. Spend my time sending hate notes clipped out of supermarket shoppers to Harry Reid
Watch out California! This was just a shot over the bow!
Now the GOP is trying to get employers to lay off workers five days before the election so they can blame that on Obama. Shame is for other people.
Seems to me the Tampa convention deserves a small army of videographers. Film relentlessly at the main hotel in- and egresses, as well as the upper third of gentlemen’s clubs. Later, we can use face-matching, for, i dunno,…
Spocko, you there, bro?
zomg!
does everyone in Mericuh have an IQ of 61?
Doesn’t Governor Haley have an approval rating in the low 30s? Just the kind of person you want talking up your presidential campaign.
I don’t know about that, but they sure would be a lot easier to execute and all!
Wait, what? She thought that would help the Mittster?
Be careful about using a code: Obama might decide you’re acting suspiciously and blow you to pieces with a missile.
These know-nothing foot-in-mouth campaigns seem to do well with the Tea Party, however. Just saying…
The Kansas Tea-pers/primary voters (like Freepers, ony worse) have just decided the whole state will now be going Galt, with two sides of bugfuck crazy, thus immolating what remained of the non-crazy wing of the rethuglican party in that state. The chief reason why the TP-approved won? Because the primary voters decided the encumbent rethugs had committed the mortal sin of “working with, and thus acting like, democrats” to get legislation passed; it was in all the campaign ads.
Kansas; come for the wheat, stay for the creeping authoritarianism!
I had the same reaction: the “independent” person’s remark could mean we deserve better than the Mitt, or better than Obama. Maybe you had to be there to know what s/he meant. Maybe s/he wasn’t talking about candidates at all….
I, too, think we deserve better, in so many ways.
