Mitt governed one of the bluest of the blue states. This presented significant obstacles to implementing a more conservative agenda.

This quote is getting tired…if he was such a good leader, so charasmatic, so effective…where is the coatails, that is, where are the other republicans that he helped win office? When Reagan took office, he was against a liberal blued congress,but he won them over with his great ideas (well not them, but there constituents). He brought in a conservative majority, he had coatails.
Mitt is not a a leader, after the vote in New Hampshire he spent what? About $50 per vote for him, in a small state he spent over $8 million, for a few thousand votes. That has to be a near record, and the Dems know it, they will skewer him for it…they are holding back. He will be painted as an elitist, wealthy, ultra religious, vote buying snob, that can’t hold an idea or principle for more than 6 months.
That is the reality of his weakness…unfair, probably, but the Dems will hammer away at those themes until he is bloody. He can’t spend $50 per vote in America to win the Presidency.
It is not the reality of who can just be nominated, but who can win…and Mitt has too much baggage…sorry Mitt-wits. Rejoice in you primaries, even maybe your candidate, but he will lose in a landslide.

All the spin from Hugh Hewitt, Hot Air, Fox News and his personal fortune cannot salvage his lies and flip-flops..

the guy is damaged goods, he’s exactly the same as John Kerry!

“I actually was for McCain’s immigration plan and thought that it was reasonable and quite different than amnesty before I was against it.. ”

The guy will say or do anything that the polls tell him to,
he’s a mixture of John Kerry and Bill or Hillary Clinton!

Calculating… I don’t believe 1 word he says.

Hot Air and Michelle Malkin Trying to Rally Around Flip Romney?

Don’t drink the kool-aid, pal. Bryan was even quoted on Fred08 as a positive not 2-3 days ago.

Oh no problem they’ll print up tons and tons more and oh make sure they all have Hillary already checked off on them ok?

Oh forget it.

I am very weary of the weeping women blubbering all over OBama-man. Dr Phil must have given them permission to let it all out. Hysteria isn’t pretty. Where was the blubbering two months ago?

This zoo is starting to make Mitt look normal. As a monogamist descended from polygamists Mitt offers some proof of evolutionary progress. He gives light in a field devoid of lumens or hankies.

Slap me but Hillary is beginning to look refined

I was just looking over at Hot Air, when I noticed this post from Allah Pundit.

Exit question for the Fredheads, with whom my love/hate relationship continues: Which noted media apologist, blind to the conspiracy to torpedo Fred, said this?

If an…

The html absorbed it as code, oddly, but it intended to read [low blow alert], except with the inequality sign. I know it’s a pretty low blow, but my point is this: what constitutes a war hero? What about the guys that didn’t cave in Vietnam, in Korea, in WWI, in WWII, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, who withstood the torture and didn’t give an inch? Are they on the same level with the guy who cracked? I don’t mean to discount his service, and there is no greater force for good than our military (and since he was a part of it, he was thus a force for good), but I do think it’s a relevant point; if your entire campaign is about being a “straight-talking war hero,” then there should be room for debate as to what constitutes a war hero. Yes, he served the nation; yes, he deserves to be thanked; but “war hero” is a bit of a reach.

I will note, though, that no one got my Morrissey-Romney joke. Which, given how perfectly quaffed both of them are (or at least were), was dead on!

I wish they would just have the election tomorrow, and then cryogenically freeze the winner until thawed out in January. But none of that Ted Williams cut the head off stuff…

Why not?

but he wont.

I wish Hillary would win this one…

but she wont.

boo

If Thompson drops out and endorses McCain then those who are so steadfastly supporting Fred now will look very foolish indeed.

I’m with Fred until the end, and do not plan on looking foolish. That’s not exactly the way it works. It’s not a football game, where if a team loses by a large margin, the winners get to say “wh00t!” and jump up and down. If Fred drops out and endorses McCain, neither of which he has given any indication of doing, that’s politics. It would mean that he would consider whichever candidate he endorsed to be able to win.

The fact that he was able to accomplish anything conservitive at all is an amazing feat in and of itself.

Gotta agree here. I lived in Mass when Mitt was in office (got out in 2004, not because of Mitt). Comparing him to the previous 3 Republican Governors is a pretty scathing commentary on the 3 RINOS (Weld, Celluci, not-so-Swift).

Mitt did the best he could with what he had. The fact that he was able to accomplish

Are you really trying to tell me that anti-mormon sentiment isn’t quite strong among evangelical ranks, and that it had nothing to do with the religious-baiting “Christian leader” surging and beating him in Iowa? Really? Because like I’ve said, I don’t have to even leave this site to show you the tripe that’s been said about Mitt Romney/his religion over the past year. Just because everyone else has grown sick of it and called it out, and that the “Faith in America” speech cooled things down publicly, does not mean that this sentiment somehow vanished and these people are suddenly open to voting for a Mormon. (This is not to say all or even probably a majority of evangelicals think this way, but a large enough number to potentially derail Romney’s campaign. But to say it’s a non factor is ludicrous.)

would love to see Mitt and Duncan.

That’d be great.

Or, Romney/Steele.
