Journalists Overheard Speculating Before Romney Event There’s a ’40 Percent Chance He Says Something Stupid’ (UPDATED)

Oct. 30, 2012 12:18pm Madeleine Morgenstern

Reporters on Politico’s live stream of a Mitt Romney campaign event were overheard speculating that there was a “40 percent chance he says something stupid,” according to the Huffington Post’s Jon Ward.

Ward, a senior political reporter for the site, tweeted what he heard at 11:38 a.m. Tuesday morning:

Journalists Overheard Speculating Before Romney Event Theres a 40 Percent Chance He Says Something Stupid (UPDATED)

Image source: Twitter

It was unclear which reporters Ward overheard speaking and whether they definitely were from Politico.

In August, Yahoo! News fired their Washington bureau chief after he was overheard saying during a live video broadcast at the Republican National Convention that attendees were “happy to have a party with black people drowning”. He was hired earlier this month at Politico.

UPDATE:

BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins sent out a tweet after the Romney event seemingly taking responsibility for the remarks:

Looks like my snide comment, caught on livestream, was wrong: Romney got the tone just right at this event in Dayton.

— McKay Coppins (@mckaycoppins) October 30, 2012

UPDATE II:

A source tells TheBlaze that Coppins was the pool reporter assigned to the Romney campaign today (such reporters are tasked with writing up the day’s events in a very unbiased, straight forward way). While that has yet to be verified, it would make sense since Coppins has acted in that role before.

If public education was so great in MA
why is Annie now deriding it and pushing Charter schools?
Answer” The Romneys like Jebby Bush have invested in Charter Schools.

  No one from the political class uses public school because it is so bad. Since in your universe only Democrats are in charge I guess your remark stands on its own and since projection is a Democrat everyday usage, it most likely is Democrats who have money invested in charter schools

  Government education is lousy in most states, especially since the federal government has become so involved, and the unions are now firmly entrenched. Government schools are a bad idea, in general. If they’re so awesome, then why are you more intelligent with a better understanding of history and economics?
  
  What, exactly, is your point?

  The last numbers I saw were less than 15% of Florida high school graduates were college ready according to ACT/SAT scores, sure a few survive, and get accepted to medical school and promoted through, if they didn’t the medical schools would have to go out of business, but it’s hardly something to brag about.

  My oldest daughter was one of four valedictorians, from a public school, she worked for, and received enough in scholarships to pay her way through the Ohio State University, without us having to pay much at all. She even works as a Senate page in the State House and sells Mary Kay on the side. I won’t credit that to public school, though, but being from a family who is involved in community and expects excellence. My second daughter will graduate this year, we are hoping she will also do the same. Public schools are worse in cities than in smaller towns, because you are more invisible in cities.

  Dora uses the old liberal bate and switch routine. It’s kinda like a magic trick, but much more obvious and not real clever, or maybe more like amaturish. Dora is ok though. One can tell she’s got a girlish crush on Wango and it’s probably because he’s an activist supporter for women’s rights to go unshaven. Apparently Wango likes his women hairy. Dora should paste hair all over her body. Wango might go nuts with desire. If she’s lucky he’ll even dress up in his shemale parts costume. Then again maybe the costume might be a bit over the top whereas she is concerned. However, I understand ol Bill Clinton sure enjoyed it, though poor Wango isn’t quite the same.
  
  GONZO has it near right. I say Romney is maybe 20%, Barry is 75% and Joe is about 99%. Plus the gaffs Barry and Shmoe Biden make are super huge by comparison, which adds more weight to the percentages. When saying Romney is 20% I’d say about half that number is when the media makes up gaffs that don’t exist, using the magic of tv. It’s like photoshopping, only its with words, meanings and special editing. When Romney makes a gaff or the media creates those they want the public at large to think he made, it’s a big deal. When Joe Biden makes a gaff. you generally don’t hear the MSM say a word It’s all these factors.that permits the media to concoct the 40% figure. The real offenders, of late, in making really stupid statements and gaffs are left wing media personalities.

  AT LEAST MCCAY COPPINS had the good sense and character to apologize for his dumb A. comment. Unlike DORA…what’s your deal COMMIE? You can’t be enjoying yourself here on a Patriotic site? Charter Schools? School Vouchers? YOU BETCHA. Teachers in UNIONS who sit in rooms because they are not qualified to teach anymore, but still collect salaries so the UNIONS can still keep making money are pathetic. Teachers who hate the Voucher system don’t want to compete to be a good teacher and EVEN SAY DUMB THINGS LIKE: “HOW can a teacher be judged
  when a STUDENT does poorly??? I mean it could be their home life etc. that causes them to do poorly” and to that I respond: THAT is the main job of ANY teacher. TO make sure that regardless of what you start off with, YOU end up with a STUDENT who can/has/will learn. THAT is your job”
  Immature Liberals cause a lot of trouble and they taint a lot of great projects, because they don’t have guts, they don’t have courage, they don’t have maturity. This is what we get for passing out Participation Trophies.
  WHATEVER ANN ROMNEY thinks, whatever she wants with regards to Children/Schools, I would tend to listen to over some negative, cruel, hot-shot who hangs out on boards trying to hurt decent people, lying about facts…spewing half and no-truths. ANN IS GOING TO MAKE A WONDERFUL FIRST LADY!!

  @ Anonymous T. Irrelevant Congratulations DAD!!! Great achievements by your girls!! The reason Obama makes me so damned angry is that he is single-handedly trying to ROB us of our AMERICAN DREAM. THAT SOB wants poor people to stay poor; tough neighborhoods to stay tough… how else can he and his kind stay in power??? Bastards all. THAT is the part I hate the MOST. THIS sawed-off SOB conned his way into office with that loud-mouthed half-back he’s married to and those Communist pals he hangs with want to wreck and rob America and then take over the world. YE GADS…. what is wrong with people who can’t see that…does he have to sky write it??
  But back to your daughters!!! WAY TO GO!!! Let’s fight hard, PRAY HARDER to make sure we get these sleazy-bags out of office for once and never vote them in again.
  TODAY that SOB said “I never leave anyone behind” Can your heart even take that??? Yeah, right, Obama, except if they are NAVY SEALS, AN AMBASSADOR and another PATRIOT who might upset your apple cart about “NO TERRORISTS ATTACKS UNDER MY WATCH”. Btard x 1 Zillion

  Frankly any parent that loves their child and wants a great future for them would not send them to a public school. The entire idea of public schools needs to be redone, instead of giving them all the money they want we need to go to a tuition system and allow parents to choose where to send their children. If the Public schools are not performing parents will put them out of business and send their children elsewhere. It is the only way to get teachers/school officials to start doing their jobs again.

  @Deblaess- We are all invested in public education. Our investment is huge. Our return is in the red. The old model of the teacher’s union support system needs to be wiped out, and we need a fresh start focused on our kids instead. Charter Schools are not the the final solution, but merely a step in the right direction.

  The unverified so called “real” story about Gen Ham is that his wife is very ill and he’s requested a leave to take care of her….don’t know if this has been verified as of today but that’s what is out there. I’m glad Obama could find the situation room for an update of our national security risk of a “storm” and that he didn’t care to find the situation room or didn’t know where it was when we were under attack from terrorists that murdered Americans under his watch as he later went to bed and the following morning rose to vacation in Las Vegas; shoot craps and raise more money but not before arresting an American citizen for FREEDOM OF SPEECH! America you should be very afraid….Obama is a great embarrassment to America before and after the terrorist attack in Benghazi….I’m waiting for the apologies tour to Libya and to terrorists all over the Middle East.

Ham and Gauoette canned shortly after Benghazi ? An awful coincidence isn’t it, something stinks bad and we know very well where the stink is coming from.

Some people are gluttons for punishment. Dora qualifies. Nevertheless, I say: “to each their own.” If she likes how Barry sticks it to her, good for Barry. Of course there are some big loosers here, they include the 4 killed in Benghazi. Barry stuck it to them as well. Unfortuneately they now have nothing to say about it. Wait tell the public gets a load of the real reasons too. They won’t like it either, well unless being a diehard lib. To a entrenched lib it’ll just be collatera (justifiable) damage for a Barry cause.

  Dear Dora- In regards to the two “lies” you mentioned (Jeep in China and auto bailout) here is the answer. Please open your mind and then check it out. If you don’t and keep repeating it, then you will become what you hate, a liar, and your brain will explode.
  
  The Romney ad says the new owner will be building Jeeps in China. True. He does not say they are shutting down or moving Jeep facilities from the USA. You just jumped to that conclusion. This is because the leftists are quick to blame Mitt for any movement of jobs oversees done by Bain.
  
  Romney did not support the auto bailout as Obama structured it. Obama stole it from the bondholders (those who, by law, were in first place of ownership) and gave it to his buddies in the unions (mafia, socialist, whatever…still trying to see what the difference is between a union and communism, but I digress). Then he threw our money at it to try to keep it afloat. During this process he effectively took it through bankruptcy, only bass ackwards.
  
  Romney proposed to take it through what would have been like Chapter 11 (not Chapter 7 which is the liquidation of assets and dissolving the company) and restructure it, making it so it could function effectively, then prop it with government funds if necessary to help it through the bad times.
  
  What Romney did would have worked. What Obama did was put off the inevitable. GM is already struggling to remain afloat. Stock is dropping. If it weren’t for gov’t contracts it woul

  Jeep has 11 assembly plants and several power train plants in China, and the CEO (selected by Obama) says that they work “in, with, and for China.” The CEO also mentions plans to move product development to China.

  GASBAG :
  
  Part of the Obama deal forced Chrysler to sell a majority stake of the Co to FIAT of Italy. That is why you now see the new FIAT ads on TV…Chrysler is buidling FIAT cars on one of it’s assmebly lines as part of that deal. Also part of that deal is the fact that FIAT Italy wants to move more of Jeep production from USA to China and they have begun that process in earnest. Will it mean that 100% of Jeep priduction will move offshore ? No but a larger percentage of what used to be made in the USA just 4 years ago will move and has been been moved offshore (under Obama’s deal). GM has also moved some of it’s production offshore in this deal . GE has moved quite a large part of it’s production to China during this time period…the MSM has been silent about all of this and the Obama Admin has been less than honest about the thousands of jobs lost never to return under their policies. The lies are coming from the Obama Admin, the Dems and the MSM covering thier tracks. Wake up you stupid ass.

I don’t care .. I’m voting for Mitt and will support him until I feel he lies to us, until he starts taking away my freedom, and until he start spending like the other presidents.

I don’t care what a journalist will say .. they lie and work at covering up the lies.

  I too am hoping after 8 years of President Romney we will wish we had more time with him. Remember dreams do come true.

  My first thought … they are just praying he says something they can TWIST … and SPIN into something that “sounds” stupid .. Romney isn’t the stupid one in the election .. and neither is Ryan .. for STUPID .. trust Barry and Joe to say something and the MSM to ignore it!
  
  R & R 2012 PRAY AND VOTE!!!!

The ridiculous hapless and helpless MSM that nobody believes anymore is in the tank for the ridiculous Obozo. The country is anti-MSM Obozo surrogates…. it’s over boot licker / non journalist. Breitbart was and is the greatest journalist that we have seen in a generation.

There’s a 75% chance that the main stream media is going to be caught fabricating lies about Romney and covering up the Libyan scandal.

  DORA, Mitt repeated in that speech the exact thing that came from an article in Bloomberg Business Week. There is one Jeep plant shutting down to be packed to China. The CEO of Fiat, who has the controlling interest in Chrysler has said that he is planning to move even more of the Jeep production to China, and all of Chrysler production to Italy. 0bama’s meddling really saved a lot of union jobs, didn’t he? BTW, do some research please.
