The teleprompter thing started to die once the entire field of Republican candidates was winnowed down to the single non-crazy one who was perfectly happy to use a teleprompter.
- gruseom 14y agoI thought they all used teleprompters. Who doesn't?
- scarmig 14y agoMichele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Hermann Cain. Rick Santorum wanted to ban them. Etc. All with predictable results. This isn't to say they never used teleprompters in their life; just that when they were running for the nomination, it was a useful cudgel to bash Obama and implicitly Mitt. That's why they were known as pretty gaffe-prone candidates.
