Hilarious. An apparently serious article from Newsweek

comments?

This will not help him run for president as a Republican.

WHAT! OMG, only Newsweek would actually think this makes sense.

Good idea. The slick statist fits right in with ZERO’s team. (yeah, I know he was my 3rd choice in the ‘08 primary)

RomneyCARE-creator and carpetbagging, fascist imposer Mitt Romney:
”Now that my Romneycare is national ready to hurt hundred of millions,
a little self examination may be in order for you FReepers.
You may want to ask yourself “if I had spent my time promoting
RomneyCare and Mitt Romney, could I not have garnered more support
of both Mr. Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney?“

“Romney praises Obama
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

I presume this just means that Newsweek regards Romney as the biggest threat to Obama in 2012.

If Obama makes the offer and Romney accepts, then Republicans will not nominate him, and the MSM can spin that a Republican was responsible for the upcoming socialized medicine debacle.

If Obama makes the offer and Romney declines, then the MSM can say that Romney is not a bipartisan polician, that he avoided public service to pander to the far-right wing.

Either outcome harms Romney. That is the only reason Newsweek ran the piece.

Romney commit?

Nobody even knows what state Mitt Romney lives in or considers home. No one even knows what his political beliefs are.
