Chris Matthews, Hardball host on MSNBC, had guests on his show today that were talking about the Obama committee plans to paint Mitt Romney as “weird” at this early date even though he is not the GOP nominee. Apparently the Democratic Party anticipates the possibility of Romney winning the nomination. Obviously they would prefer a Bachmann, Perry, or other hard right candidate. Such a nominee would be an easier target for the Democratic machine. “Weird” may be a reference to his religion but the idea is to leave it to those listening to the Democratic talk to provide their own interpretation. Hardball reference was calling the plans Swiftboat 2.0.
Matthews said nothing to distance himself from the Democratic plans. How dirty will the campaign get? VERY DIRTY!
