Get Ready for the Romnesia Bounce. Predict the impact!


 
Finally, the Obama campaign has been able to articulate their attack on the Republican Candidate in a single word.

After the President first used the term in Virgina yesterday, Romnesia became a social network sensation. It became the most mentioned word on Twitter and was quickly repeated by blogs and major news organizations throughout the nation. Even Fox News felt obliged to report it and rant about it. Damaging to the credibility of Mitt Romney, the comical aspect of Romnesia turns his many positions into a joke that has gone viral. Already, there are 88,300 Google News results for Romnesia.

Finally, the message that Romney is a man who cannot be trusted is being communicated to millions who had not previously noticed. The term turns Mitt Romney into the butt of a joke for millions of discussions about the newly recognized disease. And it turns Mitt Romney into the butt of jokes. Of course, that won't do anything to change the minds of hardline Republicans or Obama haters, but this is a way of getting through to other low information voters who had planned to vote Romney or are undecided.

The question is, how damaging will Romnesia be to the Republican candidate? Will Romnesia now be contained, halting the spread of further outbreaks, or will it kill Mitt Romney's campaign? And will it give Obama a bounce?

Every two weeks or so, the DUmmies celebrate the latest thing that will spell Romney's doom, yet they aren't working.
Come on DUmmies, if taxgate, haircutgate, puppygate, and Romney fired some guy and gave his wife cancer didn't work do you really think some cutsie term is going to influence people? I realize that low information voters like you, will think this is something huge, but people who actually think beyond cutsie terms and slogans will not be influenced in the least by this, well other than to strengthen their resolve to vote for Romney.

It's amazing the things a teleprompter can come up with...
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

I can see the news now:

How damaging will Romnesia be to the Republican candidate? Probably not nearly as damaging as the Obamaconomy will be to the Democrat candidate.

For Romney, who has gotten a 1-2 point bounce out of it.  :hyper:  Suck on it, primitives.

Gov. Romney is DOOMED.   Look back on how many elections have been decided by the use of a childish merger of the opponent's name and some other useful word.  It's a never-fail tactic.  Gov. Romney is doomed. DOOMED.

Hey DUmmies, Barrack Obama has done nothing to fix the economy.  He spent two years, when he had one party fiat, parting and pushing an unpopular  healthcare insurance package.  He spent huge amounts of money on a "stimulus" that did nothing but pay his political support, and never seems to have stimulated anything.  He stalled on approving items that would have had a direct impact on the economy.  Rather than actually negotiate with Republicans, he and Dingy Harry have refused to pass a budget, largely because any budget would damage the Democrats politically.

All in all, Obama has been a real pain in the ass.  You could say, as Mark Levin did, that America has a painful case of Obamaroids.

And then failed to file his legally mandated quarterly reports on what he did with the money. Why Issa didn't start calling for an investigation 6 months ago amazes me.

Oldy but a goody, Obamanation.

Of course this new word is going to switch voters because they do not have a job, gas and groceries have doubled, and health insurance has gone up $2500.

Keep up with the slogans there sparky.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Are you refering to the Democrat Party members that post at DemocratUnderground.com?
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
