When Rush, the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and virtually all stripes of conservative bloggers are poking fun at you for your stance (all at the same time), it's not a good thing if you're trying to win the GOP nomination.
Frankly, I'm glad, he put himself into this pickle and has to lay in the brine.
“The problem is, he didn’t back away in his speech last week, he affirmed his decision...”
I know. That was a mistake. If he doesn’t man-up and stop trying to have it both ways, he hasn’t got a chance.

I'll assume from this statement that we have learned nothing from the last presidential election cycle.
During the Primaries, what Conservative voted for John McCain, yet that is the putz we had to rally behind in order to hope defeat the media's juggernaut candidate Barry Soetoro.
We still are allowing the enemedia to pick our candidates. Furthermore, we are allowing the Democrats to pick our candidates. Rush Limbaugh was late to the game of debauching the Primaries with Operation Chaos because the Demoncats pulled a much better organized version of that in Florida, an early Primary State, that ultimately gave us McCain as Demoncat voters were told that their Demoncat votes would not be counted. Unregistered Demoncats and Independents, all swept up in the worship of Barry swarmed the Republican Primaries and pushed out every other contender.
This time around, we have an even more whoreish enemedia, and it appears Barry is going to run uncontested so all of those open primary states, and all of those freshly minted college students and other idiots who haven't yet registered, or who are now allowed to re-register will again choose our candidates for us. Even worse, Soros has been on a campaign to control the various Secretaries of State. The public employee unions in charge of voting machines got away with tampering and destroying thousands of machines in Texas so the message is out to the Left, nothing is too over the top to corrupt and pollute the upcoming elections. Holder has told the Black Panthers that there is no level of violence and intimidation that he will investigate, the various SoSs ohave told the illegals it perfectly fine to vote and to vote often, and the unions know that they can tamper with the voting machines as much as they please.
I trust the integrity of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and Saddam's Iraq vote as much as the upcoming 2012. This business with Mit or Mitch is just rearranging deck chairs.
