re: #51 palomino

Not if they don’t even know what that federal agency is or what it does. It’s like the Solyndra “scandal”: it shows up all over right wing blogs, in a self-reinforcing loop, but no one else really cares.

Moreover, I think Romney wants to cultivate an image as a guy who’s got great business acumen, not as a guy who’s gonna come in with a samurai sword and start shredding things. Fair or not, the image of him as a corporate vulture is not something he wants to highlight.

To be fair, the GSA scandal isn’t just a Fox News “OUTRAGEOUS OUTRAGE!!1”; CNN has picked it up and run with it, as has the Washington Post. The overall picture is of a severely dysfunctional agency, and that’s a view Mitt can use.
