and secondly, does this make eric fernstrom's comments about mitt romney being an etch-a-sketch candidate, does that look like a walk in the park compared to this? >> this is the most over-the-top reaction. i mean, what are we talking about? we're talking about a spokesperson who -- and there's a strong likelihood that andrea was told to say this by her superiors, that this wasn't her going rogue, so to speak. that this was a talking point. listen, a lot of conservatives have been complaining for weeks now that romney's not out there touting all the good things he's done, not just at bain, but as the governor of massachusetts. the second that someone says something about his signature accomplishment as governor of massachusetts, which is health care, conservatives go crazy. i mean, ann coulter is talking out of her mind right now. why would andrea saul need to be fired for this campaign to go on or for donors to support mitt romney? isn't the cause a bit bigger than one singular spokesman? i get that she's upset. i get that andrea saul probably stepped on a very big moment for the romney campaign where they could have focused on bill burton's ad.
