Christine Pelosi Attorney, author and Democratic activist :
"Mean Mitt" is evidence that Republicans cannot restrain their antipathy toward President Barack Obama.
Most campaigns run Republican right or Democratic left in a primary then sprint to the center for November. The cheering and jeering Republican debate audiences have demanded their 2012 candidates go mean in the primary before going nice enough to win in the general. Mean Mitt may be nasty enough for the nomination but independents fed up with negativity won't warm to an angry alternative, clearing a path for President Obama.
