[KoRn]

“GOP Guru”

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[grey_whiskers]

"Plausible" ?

What is this, an episode of Mitt-busters?

(I'd suggest "viable" but that would start a pro-life avalanche.)

Cheers!

"Steve Schmidt, one of the toughest guys in the business"

Tee-hee! Tee-hee!

[SoConPubbie]

Steve Schmidt is a JackAss!

The only people listening to this dolt are uninformed conservatives, moderates, and liberals.

"GOP political consultant Steve Schmidt, one of the toughest guys in the business and the guru behind the 2008 John McCain..."

I could be wrong but I think I remember Schmidt as being behind the smearing of Sarah Palin, anyone else besides me remember this guy?

[dragnet2]

Perry needs to spend more money!

lol...

[marty60]

Brains behind McCain?

LMAO

[DTogo]

Schmidt — an MSNBC analyst...

Such a tough GOP "guru" that he's working for MSNBC.

[Jim Robinson]

Who the hell is Steve Schmidt?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Why would a so-called “conservative” work for MSNBC?

[Venturer]

A blog that actually thinks Iowa’s caucus is somehow relevant.

[oldbill]

Schmidt, the guru for McCain, was also a top campaign guy for Bush 2004. He took a sure landslide against an ignorant dilletante and turned it into a near loss.

So why should we listen to Schmidt?

[C. Edmund Wright]

Steve Schmidt - only in San Francisco would they think he’s a Republican “tough guy” - looks like that creepy internal affairs cop on Mentalist.

[Graybeard58]

Santorum “may well emerge as the chief alternative to Mitt Romney.”

Fine with me.

No Romney/Paul/Huntsman.

Steve Schmidt, one of the toughest guys in the business and the guru behind the FAILED 2008 John McCain presidential campaign.

Schmidt is a nothing but a hack who is still doing the bidding of the GOP establishment to knock down Rick Perry in the waning moments of the Iowa caucus.

Just like he failed in 2008, Schmidt failed here. Perry got 24% and tied for first place.

[piytar]

This guy is an idiot. From Drudge:

“RICK 24.3% MITT 23.6% RON 21.8%”

Yea, Perry is done after WINNING.

GOP political consultant Steve Schmidt, one of the toughest guys in the business and the guru behind the 2008 John McCain presidential campaign...

What a *GREAT* source!

I note that he doesn't say anything about Huntsman, who finished dead last. Steve must think Huntsman still has a shot.

Talk about someone who isn't the brightest bulb out there.

[Ann Archy]

If ANY Republican Hires Steve Schmidt, I will have a very hard time voting for someone who has no judgment or discernment!! Same with that smiling creep that was Bush’s Media consultant who is a DEMOCRAT....can’t remember his name.
