Sen. Mitt Romney said Tuesday he planned to join the rest of his Republican colleagues in the Senate to filibuster a planned vote on raising the debt ceiling.

“We’re not voting in any way to help raise the debt ceiling. As a group we are all together,” Romney told reporters.

Someone must have told him what the polls were showing and he chickened out. He doesn’t want to be the McCain for this vote.

He doesn’t have to do this to win in Utah. He has magic underwear.

Translation: "The check bounced!"

How nice of Mister Romney to be a Republican today.

Interesting that when he does, its 'news'.

As a group we are all together,” Romney told reporters.

First time for everything I guess.

All this means is the Republicans know they are going to lose this and are jumping on the filibuster bandwagon to say they fought against this.

It’s Republican playbook 101.

Agreed. Or to put it another way, the collapse of the GoP position -- when it comes -- will be swift, sudden and led by Romney.
