Huckabee's former campaign manager: Willard's "aloof and not always understanding the situation"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

A Republican strategist who managed former Gov. Mike Huckabee’s presidential campaign says that GOP hopeful Mitt Romney’s recent gaffes during a trip to London reinforced the appearance that he is “aloof and not always understanding the situation.”

Chip Saltsman on Sunday told Fox News host Chris Wallace that Romney had made an “unforced error” in London by suggesting that the British were not prepared for the Olympics.

“And unforced errors usually lose the match,” Saltsman explained. “At the end of the day, this should have been a lay-up trip. When you go to London you’d think since he’s got the Olympic experience, the guy writing the memo would say, be positive. I mean, this is an exciting time for London.”

“But I think what you saw there was kind of CEO Mitt Romney come out — which is kind of his default position — and say, you know, ‘Looks pretty good but there’s problems — could be problems. We need to work on this.’ And people were like going, ‘Huh?’”

1. While I agree, he used “At the end of the day... so -100 for using a cliche.

4. There's a scene you would have loved on the cop drama "The Shield"...

...after Glenn Close's "Captain Monica Rawling" character is forced out of the squad after a bad judgment call, one of the detectives...David Marciano's "Captain Steve Billings," who's basically an incompetent blowhard...is temporarily promoted to Captain. He calls the squad together for a meeting and Jay Karnes (Detective Holland "Dutch" Wagenbach) tells CCH Pounder (Detective Claudette Wyms) "I'll bet you he says 'and so forth' TWICE." Sure enough, he does, and Karnes walks away saying "Don't hate me because I'm always right."
