Murdoch Chides Romney on Campaign and Obama Challenge

(Keith Olbermann read this tweet this morning on This Week)

Rupert Murdoch is offering some unsolicited advice to the Romney campaign. Saying he met the candidate last week, Mr. Murdoch, the head of the News Corporation, suggested Sunday on Twitter that Mr. Romney may have to shed some of his current staff and replace them in order to go up against “Tough O Chicago Pros” — no doubt a reference to President Obama‘s campaign team, which is based in that city.

Met Romney last week. Tough O Chicago pros will be hard to beat unless he drops old friends from team and hires some real pros. Doubtful.

On his Sunday Twitter burst, Mr. Murdoch also gave a more neutral take on the president, saying the election would be “referendum on Obama, all else pretty minor.”

US election is referendum on Obama, all else pretty minor.
