This is a barometer of what is coming.

The RINO Romney guarantees the end of America
and (deservedly) the GOP.

We didn’t hear this when too-rich Kerry was running.

There's an obvious answer that Romney did not give. "Diane, you make $12 million a year. The ritzy Manhattan penthouse, the wealthy movie director husband, the estate on Martha's Vineyard. Does that make you too rich and elitist to relate to your audience?"

Oh! If only!

“No Republican should think he could end-run the liberal media establishment entirely and not suffer damage.”

And then there was Ronald Reagan,who, in fact, did do an ‘end run’ around the liberal media.

I really don’t think Romney will lose, if he ends up our nominee. Not trying to be a supporter on this forum, but of all the things Romney is accused of, one criticism I don’t think has merit, is that he’s somehow unelectable.

He’s quite determined to win. Unlike McCain. Romney doesn’t secretly want to lose. He’s not self-destructive.

(both characteristics of McCain)

How far is multi-millionaire journolista Sawyer going to get, whining about someone being rich?

It’s so ridiculous, as to more likely help Romney.

Did you know that Mr. Kerry served in Viet Nam?

(just asking)

Romney CANNOT win. HE ALWAYS LOSES after being exposed.

THAT is why RINO ROMNEY FLED Massachusetts.

Romney does NOT DESERVE to win the nomination.

Romney for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

“Romney does NOT DESERVE to win the nomination.”

-

No argument there.

I wanted Palin to be our standard bearer.

Sounds like Mitt-Witt has found his running mate.

“Mr Chairman? I give you the next Vice President of the United States, DIANE SAWYER!”

You KNOW her ego would force her to accept, the media would go into convulsions (probably of laughter), but it would at least be entertaining.

As a Republican Strategist(retired) this is what I would tell Romney.

1. Sunday morning shows are out. They already know you.
2. Weekday morning shows aside from Fox are out. The libs aren’t changing their minds and the independent democrats and republicans watch Fox.
3, Go on every conservative show, especially O’Reilly. Real conservatives already know you are liberal. It’s the independent liberal republicans who vote conservative you are after. Conservatives are only voting for you because they have told their nose and vote for someone or else T’s another 4years of Obama. Also, they will vote down ticket and you just happen to be in the same column.
4. Every chance you get, attack the MSM. They are not on your side and people are waking up to the media bias. Keep hammering them over it in every interview. Newt did it and it works.

If you win the nomination, insist on a Fox Debate as a precursor to debating on any other station. Any group that has moderated debates in the past are your enemies. Ask for specific moderators for any station. When they say no, exploit it. Force Obama onto Fox.

Take ownership of Romneycare. You had a liberal statehouse with liberal policies and you were doing what you thought was right because that is what libs do. It didn’t work, blame your statehouse for forcing it on you. Bama will blame you for it. Agree and tell him it was wrong for Mass and will destroy the country.

Finally. This election is about one thing. You are a Mormon. The MSM carried you here because your religion is going to take you down. You can talk around being rich. You can talk around being white you can talk around being a man. As far as being a Mormon, to the left that is your Achilles heel. You take that off the table or say, so what, Obama is a Muslim, you are ahead of the game. Once this stars happening you run 1 commercial.

“My Muslim faith, you mean Christian faith”

I so do not want you as the nominee. But if you are, this is how you will win.

Washington Post political writer Chris Cillizza recently suggested Mitt Romney's general-election strategy should start with getting a "positive first introduction" to voters through the liberal media because "only the national media can provide that megaphone and serve as a sort of validator for him."

How hard did he laugh after he wrote that?

The sad part is that Cillizza probably didn't laugh - he's so cloistered he actually believes it.
