Why would we put our number 2 guy up against him?

If only that were true.

In spite of the massive amounts of time and money Mitt Romney invested in the 2008 race, he didn't come in second.

Romney came in a really lousy third. Huckabee came in second, despite having spent much less money and much less time campaigning.

I'm not saying this in support of Huckabee. I am saying it because Romney is a nightmare candidate, funded by an endless ego and an almost endless sack of cash. He has almost no chance of winning, but every chance of ruining it for a more viable candidate in 2012.

Romney's $150 million he spent was equally matched by Fox News contribution-in-kind to his campaign with their blatant favoritism, thumb on the scale to get him the nomination. They've been doing it again, every day, since November 4th, 2008 with every one of their “reporters” and “panelists”. You incredibly had the spectacle of Carl Cameron(chief peddler of slanders on Sarah Palin by anonymous critics), after doing a report on CPAC, showing up on the set of Special Report with Mitt Romney's book in hand with a gushing smile on his face, hawking it like a door-to-door salesman. They're shameless in their active, out in the open promotion of Romney and their denigration/diminishment of Palin. Their active support/promotion of Romney rivals NBC/MSNBC “News” active support/promotion of Obama. The Special Report “Grapevine” segment by mush-mouthed, nasally beta-boy Brett Baer has been utilized as a tool to denigrate Palin disguised as straight news since Nov 2008. Baer used it to “report” on Vanity Fair's hit piece on Palin of anonymous sources, used it to report falsely that Palin violated the law setting up her legal defense fund, used it to report falsely the Jonathan Martin(who used second hand sources) story about Palin at the Wisconsin for Life event, used it to report the anonymous sourced stories in the book Game Change. Baer actually read on air these hurtful reputation destroying accounts from anonymous sources, without identifying that they were anonymous sources. AND YOU DIMWITS AT C4P CONTINUE TO CLAIM FOX NEWS IS ON YOUR SIDE.
