As if Mitt Romney wasn’t already having enough problems getting the conservative base of the Republican Party to trust him, including recent allegations that he mistreated his dog, this morning Romney Communications Director Eric Fehrnstrom implied on CNN that primary voters couldn’t trust Romney to stand by the promises he made during the primary campaign.
Fehrnstrom obviously meant that Romney will be able to beat Obama in the general election if he is the nominee because he won’t be getting attacked from the left and the right like he is now – it will be a whole new race. However, taken out of context it’s easy to see why the comment ruffled feathers among Republicans and Democrats alike today.
By this afternoon Democratic Political Action Committee American Bridge had already responded to Romney’s statements with a spot-on Etch A sketch video highlighting other issues Romney had changed his position on over the years.
Regardless of whether or not you agree with the video, you have to acknowledge the quality of the video and the lightning speed pace with which the American Bridge was able to produce and disseminate it.
