I still think Romney will sink like a stone when his opponents start running ads against him.
This ad produced by the Log Cabin Republicans will start the ball rolling:
Mormon missionary Romney knows nothing more about cannabis than the tabloid sensationalism from the 1930s.
However, neither does much of the Congress. Nor will the Congress allow American universities to grow, research and test their own strains of cannabis.
This sort of video would be a lot more effective without the commentary at the end that spells out the blatant "gotcha." It's a lot more effective to SEE Romney blow off this guy in a wheelchair than to HEAR someone shout out "hey, you're ignoring a guy in a wheelchair!"
That said, I don't understand why a guy like Romney, who appears to be programmed by his Martian overlords to be the textbook robot politician, doesn't just respond with something like, "I really respect what you have to say, and I'm going to have to give it a lot of thought." I mean, even if you think medical marijuana is the devil, there's no downside to a nonanswer like that.
You've just gotta love The Tubes of the Internets to show the candidates' true colors and spread 'em around -- something the corporate traditional media won't do for us unless we force them to.
You say Macaca, I say Marijuana ...
