So, is the issue that so few Americans pay any attention at all to the news that a top presidential campaign adviser—in this case Eric Fehrnstrom for Mitt Romney—can feel comfortable speaking the unvarnished truth on TV? No matter how self-incriminating?

Fehrnstrom was asked on CNN today whether his Republican primary opponents are so conservative that they might push Romney irretreivably far to the right. Fehrnstrom didn’t bother changing the subject or blathering nonsense.

Instead, he said this:

“You hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch a Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.”

Watch it yourself.

At least we’re being warned that a Mitt 2.0 (or is it 3.0? or 4.0?) will be released soon. We even know the rough date, shortly after the GOP convention in early September. That’s a much bigger heads up than Apple customarily gives us.
