Advice to Mitt: Stop digging

It's a very simple principle that all politicians should have engraved on their brains.

"When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."

Romney fell in a hole of his own making when he criticized Obama for "apologizing" to the attackers in Libya who killed our ambassador.   But he kept playing the same card, even after he was told he had it all wrong.

And he kept it up, even after multiple Republican politicians and conservative pundits expressed strong criticism for his politicizing a national tragedy and for having no concept of what diplomacy is.   It has dominated the news cycle now for at least 48 hours, with no signs of stopping.

Now he's digging the hole even deeper by lamely claiming that he had it right and that the White House came around to saying the same thing he said.   Only those who still want to believe in him can see this as anything other than a political disaster -- a defining moment that proves he is not presidential material.
