Why has the gutless Romney firing of a campaign staffer resonated with the media?

Standard

Quite frankly, a lot of the folks sitting in journalist chairs for cables news channels were once campaign operatives or are really friendly with people that are campaign staffers. Being human they or a friend have probably f*cked up before and had a candidate or official stand up for them even when they screw up (and I’m sure they remain thankful for) or had candidates load them with blame and ditch them whenever they get the chance (which is …you know…thankless…).

Mitt Romney should probably deploy a barbecue + tire swing strategy to show how much of a great f*cking guy he is unlike the “aloof”, tire swingless Obama.
