Mike Allen: "Mitt Romney strafes his own party" "relies on Romney’s commanding looks and presence rather than his record"?

After hinting at his differences for months, Mitt Romney (R) strafes his own party today in an effort to show he's a candidate of change.
"It's time for a change," the tieless governor says above soothing brass instrumentals, wearing a button-down shirt and surrounded by fall foliage.

In a new ad, the former Massachusetts governor accuses Republicans of "ethical standards that are a punch line for Jay Leno" and of acting "like Democrats."

In fact, you'd think a Democrat was in the White House to hear Romney the ad, "Change Begins with Us," which went up today in New Hampshire and will air in Iowa beginning later this week.

The ad relies on Romney's commanding looks and presence rather than his record. 

Here's the script, with the governor talking to the camera: "If we're going to change Washington, Republicans have to put our own house in order. We can't be like Democrats – a party of big spending. We can't pretend our borders are secure from illegal immigration. We can't have ethical standards that are a punch line for Jay Leno. When Republicans act like Democrats, America loses. It's time for Republicans to start acting like Republicans. It's time for a change and change begins with us. I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message."

The campaign says the ad was made last week near his home in Belmont, Mass. It was produced by Midnight Ride, his media team led by Alex Castellanos.

Romney's national press secretary, Kevin Madden, tells Politico: "The message recognizes that voters want someone to shake up Washington, and Republican voters in particular know that we need to reclaim our party's principles on spending, security and reforming government to meet a higher standard. The 'us' message is the governor's effort to build, inspire and lead that movement to reclaim the party and lead the nation."

Mike Allen tends to see everything from a very non-republican vantage point. Only someone very liberal could say, "The ad relies on Romney's commanding looks and presence rather than his record". What else would cause someone to take this angle? That is stretching very hard to find a criticism of a commercial. How exactly could someone "rely" on their "record"? How did Romney "Rely on his good looks"? Is Romney to be blamed for "Relying on his good looks" every time he talks? Should he put a bag on his head? I don't get it? Romney can't be in the commercial? Romney can't be seen, without Mike Allen saying that Romney is Relying on his good looks?

Mike Allen is just saying this because he looks like a retard.

Romney relied on his lung's ability to support a column of air, and his mouth and voice box's ability to say words in this add. This ability is commonly known as "SPEAKING". Look it up, MR. Allen.

Mitt Romney spoke words that contained a message and this message does "rely" on Romney's "record". Romney has lived what he speaks, lives good morals, believes in low spending, and balanced the budget.

Tell me again, Mike Allen, how Romney "Relies on his good looks rather than his record"? If you are going to throw little editorials into your news like that they should make a little bit of sense.

 

I also like how these people in Washington like Mike Allen think they can read other people's motives. He said, "in an effort to show he's a candidate of change"... Romney attacks his own party...

 

Boy, I really doubt that Mike Allen is married. Who could live with a guy like that... You do the dishes for him, and he says, "Bety, in an attempt to make me feel bad, did the dishes...."

 

Do these people really think they are God, and know why everyone does everything? I guess they do...
