Looks like Mitt will only go where he’ll get a hug and “I’m sorry you had a bad day sweetie.”

Wallace scolding Myth for being a Mormon and losing to Newt.

The Romulan saying “In the final analysis...” it’s only one week and Newt had a good week, beating me with taxes and Bain Capital, and a great exchange with Wahn, but it’s hard to do that in every state.

I didn’t catch them discussing that he also lost in Iowa to Santorum.

Did any of y'all notice there is only ONE democrat, Clyburn, on this morning?

All Republicans, minus a few RINOs: Linda Graham, Chris Christie, and, of course, Mittens and Boehner. Haley Barbour has really sunk in my eyes due to his extraordinary pardon debacle.

Still, it's interesting to see so many GOPers. I think the driveby’s guess they can be the opposition. Makes since, since they actually are!

Coulter is calling the S Carolinians as demonic and would rather vote someone who makes snotty comments rather than someone who can beat Obama.

Now ripping the Tea Party. She is really angry about her boy’s loss. Now supporting John King and the media.

Pray for America

FOX NEWs (Channel Romney) calls Romney “frontrunner”.

FOX NEWs (Channel Romney) falsely calls
Romney “governor” when HE fled the state
after the carpetbagger imposed his liberal fascism.
Mass voters hate Romney and RomneyCARE.

Wearing his snarky suit, rather than the
short shirt he wears lately to pretend he is normal,
Romney also wears an altered American flag
with some sort of symbol above it.
Like the Constitution it means NOTHING to Romney.

Romney seems SO plastic, and lies when his mouth is open.

Wallace: (You lost) 45% to 24%,
Wallace then blames this loss on the Mormonhood
of the ArchBishop Romney. Romney agrees.

Wallace: “How do you play Mass. moderate
and (the Mormon hate)?” Romney only goes
for the Mormon card, and takes off on Gingrich
by avoiding answering.

Wallace ignores the detour and encourages Myth
on his attack on Gingrich. Myth knows his surrogates
will attack and minimizes his role.

Over and over, Wallace attacks Romney, and
Romney agrees.

Like a conductor, Wallace takes Romney through
his campaign speechs and backstabbing of Gingrich.

The Tax returns: FOX edits out the BOOs.
Amazing. They spent thousands of dollars carefully
removing the BOOs.
Romney takes the mulligan and says
he will return one only year and not the previous
dozen like his more honest father.
Wallace asks again and Romney refuses.

[Interesting, Romney has quirky speech talking
about his Cayman Island investments indicating
they were recently changed for his Presidential run.
Where were they before? And who owned
the house Romney lived in in France that the
Nazis took from a family it exterminated.]

Finally, Romney is allowed to talk about what
great “passion” he has, and he says he may
even get some “energy”. Romney looks like a
flat tire held up by Hollywood facade.

So far, Wallace and Romney are reading from their script.

One key for the GOP will come next week with the State of the Union.

If Obama gets a fairly good bump out of it, watch out for the MSM/Dems to remake him into version 2.0 by November — and he will be difficult to defeat.

If Obama fails to get much of a bump, the MSM/Dems will still try the remake, but Obama’s tenure may be over.

High gas prices? Obama could pull a Clinton and release the Strategic Oil Reserve to help control them.

Joblessness? The BLS is already manipulating the numbers and they have misplaced some 6.8 million un/under employed from their calculations. They can misplace more to get the number more palatable.

Did anyone else notice Romneys new line of attack?

He twice used the word “sobriety” in contrasting himself to Newt.

Boehner says the House has passed 30 jobs bills that are bogged down in the Senate.

etc.

==

That shows up one thing:

The Republicans still have a major problem getting their message out. Of course, most of the MSM are against them, but they need to figure out some way to circumvent that.

The current Republican debates are only doing a small part, because they are typically watched by 3.5 to 7 million, and most of those are the news junkies, not new veiwers.

The GOP need to figure out, for example, some way to counter Obama’s claim of a do-nothing Congress by getting the message out that the do-nothing part is coming from Reid and the Dems, not McConnell and the Republicans or Boehner and the House. Only the news junkies know that. The GOP seem incapable to reaching the mass audience of the Nation.

Wallace again manages to make a jackass out of himself.

He asks Boehner whether Boehner will fall asleep during the SOTU or how he will keep himself awake.

[Wallace doesn’t realize that, by asking just a dumbass question, he is actually implying that Obama and his SOTU message may be so boring that attendees will need techniques to keep awake.]

I was struck with the fact that ALL the round table on MTP acknowledged that Romney is NOT good at fighting. That's a wonderful endorsement of him to run against Obama-—IF you want Obama to win.

*With apologies to Lewis Carroll:

JabberMitty

`Twas brillig, and the slithy Rove
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were his mirrorRoves,
And the meme Rats outgrabe.

“Beware the JabberMitt, my son!
The jaws that spite, the flaws that kvetch!
Beware the JebJeb bird, and shun
The frumious O’Reillysnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Palmetto tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The JabberMitt, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And, has thou slain the JabberMitt?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy Rove
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were his mirrorRoves,
And the meme Rats outgrabe.

Watched a wee bit of all the pathetic Sunday News Shows.

I had to ask forgiveness from The Lord after screaming vulgarities at Joe Scarborough on MTP. This guy has got a lot of nerve to question anybodies Conservative credentials!

Joe Scarborough sold out long ago on any kind of Conservative thinking...He is such a scumbag, I do not even know where to start?

It should have been Sarah Palin last night, but it`s not, so Newt is the best we have,but for Scarborough to be talking about who or who is not Conservative, is just outrages.

Katrina Vandernoodle got away with saying that the liberal media claim, is just a myth. Not a peep out of George Will to correct her, not surprized,Will sold out years and years ago to be the ABC token “Conservative”.
