Opposite Day

Iowa Blogosphere Opposite Day

In Bizarro World Sunday, it was John Deeth at Mitt Romney and Cyclone Conservatives at John Edwards. Best line: "They played some really bad country music. So bad, that it reminded me of a Republican event."

With that, the Romney afterthoughts.

Part of the pitch, though not said in these words, was "we need a CEO president." Wasn't that what Bush was supposed to be?

The overall feel was candidate as motivational speaker.

The name "Bush" was scarcely mentioned except by the man who said he hated even saying the name.

Maybe it's just the contrast from covering Pride Fest the day before, but it's interesting the issues that don't come up. Don't ask don't tell, civil unions and marriage -- not mentioned, as if one simply assumes a default GOP position. Just passing references to family and "husband and wife." Much like choice is one applause line in a Democratic speech, and not a line of questioning.
