Mitt vs the bear.

Wow. Mistermix over at Balloon Juice finds this attack ad on Romney. Go watch it. The punchline is at the end, when you see whose ad it is.
He compares Romney with Bachmann and finds Bachmann the much more polished campaigner, in the sense that Bachmann can easily repeat talking points no matter the context.
Romney has been hermetically sealed away from real people for so long, he doesn't know what to do when Fox News... FOX NEWS! asks him straightforward questions. Imagine Bill Clinton or Barack Obama being asked questions about their biggest perceived weakness as a candidate. Don't you think that they would have a ready, canned answer to that question?
Once Romney loses that aura of inevitability, what exactly does he have going for him? His hair? His jawline? If that were enough, Perry would be in the lead.
That clearly must be the thinking behind the campaign that ran this ad. Romney may LOOK inevitable, but he's simply not a very good candidate in a lot of ways.
Charlie Pierce returns from wherever he was hiding yesterday to give us this piece of brilliance.
