It had to happen. Now Team Romney is Etch A Sketching their minimal media accessibility. Yes, they're even flip-flopping on that, which was to be expected considering how they dealt with their candidate's embarrassingly disastrous overseas trip. Speaking gaffe-athonese and pointing fingers at others must be wearing on Willard.
Needless to say, Team Romney attacked the media after he fumbled his terrible, horrible, no good very bad week. When in doubt, outsource blame.
But supposedly, that's about to change.
Fewer than 100 days out from the election, the campaign is expected to provide more press briefings and heightened access to the candidate in the coming days, and to make changes to the travel pool that will make it more media friendly.
The changes would represent a major shift for the Romney campaign, which so far has offered only extremely limited access to the presumptive Republican nominee, and usually only to favored outlets like Fox News.
Fox’s Greta Van Susteren said covering Mitt Romney’s trip felt like “the press is a modified petting zoo." And an aide exploding at the media in Poland with his now infamous "Kiss my ass" wasn't helpful.
So Willard and his band of blunderers are now forced to pretend that they'll keep their promise and discontinue the press blackouts. And by that they mean they'll occasionally expose us to their lies and obfuscations right out in the open.
“In a campaign for the presidency, if you can't deal with a press corps, how can the American people be certain that you can deal with the problems the country faces?” said Doug Thornell, a Democratic strategist and a former aide to Howard Dean.
Indeed.
