Quote from Epic:
The worst thing they are ever gonna find on Mitt is something like;
1) He once got overly angry at female employee and told her to quit being "so darn stupid". Therefore, Mitt thinks women are intellectually inferior. [Nov 8 edit] Mitt consistently hires more women to upper management positions than all other governors during his tenure, and most other businesses. He actually makes a concerted effort to do so.
2) He once fired a black woman. She insists that she was excelling at her job and sees no legitimate reason for termination. NYT to fill in the rest of the assumptions. [Nov 8 edit] She was laid off along with 20 other employees during the economic downturn due to shrinking revenues.
3) A former female campaign aide feels that Mitt consistently flirted with her... [Nov 8 edit] When he greeted her in the morning he would maintain eye contact longer than necessary and a few times they rubbed shoulders as he passed her in the hallway.
It must drive them crazy not to be able to find any scandal in Mitt's personal life. Reference his joke at the Al Smith Dinner. His strategy for debate prep. "Abstain from alcoholic beverages for 65 YEARS, prior to the debate." It's a funny joke, but this is really what the opposition is up against.
The only thing they can hit him on is policy gaffes and flip-flops. That card has been played for 6 years and has no potency left.
Don't forget demonizing him as a rich guy - one of "them" who is out of touch and has no idea what the common man is going through (the flip side of this hilarious coin is that they think Obama does).
