Mitt's a Puffer, Not a Cure

2012                                               Mitt's a Puffer, Not a Cure “ EVANSVILLE, Ind. — When Mitt Romney campaigned last week at one stop in Colorado, a key swing state whose governor and senators are Democrats, he sought to sell himself with a simple message: He is a deal maker, someone who can work with Democrats and reach across the aisle, as he did when he was the governor of Massachusetts. “We’ve got to have someone that goes to Washington that buries the hatchet and says, ‘You know what? There are good Democrats, there are good Republicans that care about America,’ ” Mr. Romney said at a rally in a Denver suburb. “Let’s work together to get the American people working.” But on Saturday, Mr. Romney flew on a Gulfstream IV to the southwest reaches of Indiana to campaign for someone with a distinctly different view of bipartisanship: Richard Mourdock, a Tea Party favorite and the state’s Republican Senate nominee, who this spring defeated the incumbent, Richard G. Lugar, one of the most influential Republicans of the past generation.  [Making a Pitch to the Tea Party in Indiana] This is from the New York Times; nevertheless it's why, when I vote for Romney,  it will be as a man with terminal  emphysema  using his ADVAIR puffer to stay alive—until the lung transplant. ”
