Race for the White House - Romney and The Donald

(Photo credit: CBS News)
Texas helped Mitt Romney cross his "T"s and dot his "I"s;
Locked the nomination up - which isn't a surprise.
Reached the magic number 'cause he's running unopposed;
Knew the outcome well before the polls had ever closed.

Heck! Mitt wasn't even there. He hung with Donald Trump,
Who - despite his wealth and fame - I find a total chump.
Donald still insists the President's not qualified;
Says he's not a citizen - believes Hawaii lied.

Claims Obama's Kenyan; chose to disregard the proof.
Kinda wish that Mitt had chose to hold himself aloof.
One is known to others by the company one keeps,
But the folks that Romney's courting lately seem like creeps.

Sure, I know he's polling neck and neck but - hold the fort -
He's already guaranteed the loony, fringe support.
I think playing to them, still, is such a big mistake.
May be time for Mitt to give that Etch-a-Sketch a shake.

Race for the White House - The Etch a Sketch Gaffe


excerpted from an
Article first published as Recent Gaffe Shakes Up Romney Campaign on Technorati.
 

Poor old Mitt.  He cannot win; not even when he does.
After Illinois, a senior campaign staffer was
Giving out an interview and made a major gaffe;
Feeding other candidates the straight line for a laugh.

He was asked if Romney had been running too far right,
Losing Independents for the coming campaign fight.
His response was that the race is like an Etch a Sketch.
I bet Eric Fehrnstrom's feeling like a total wretch.

Gingrich and Santorum jumped on that like white on rice
Said that, in the future, Romney plans to sacrifice
All the right wing values voters; flipping back to flop...
Beating him so badly with this he should call a cop.

Gleefully, they're waving Etch a Sketches at the crowd
Castigating Romney's guy for saying right out loud
What is just a simple truth; this moral values stuff
Makes the road to victory ahead look pretty rough.
