Mitt Romney, my personal favorite front-runner for 2012 on our side just performed a rare *suuuuuhuuckification* on the Hugh Hewitt radio show this afternoon in Hewitt's second segment. (Holy God Hugh, if you ever bore me again as you did in that first segment teasing a Romney appearance, I swear it will be worth my time to drop everything and drive to the OC so I can personally explain to you my displeasure.)
No kidding, I think Mitt is the only one who even stands a chance against Zero. (Will save how he would have mopped the floor with Zero in 2008 for another discussion....)
But today he was off his game bigtime. My kind, slick Mormon friend acted like he had just drank a half gallon jug of Pepsi for the first time. Rather than the crisp, smooth off-teleprompter delivery I have come to envy and respect and marvel at, he was stuttery and jibbing all over the place. It was not the Mitt that could mop floor off-prompter, in other words. He was not tanned, rested, and ready. He conveyed he was over-eager and pressed for time.
So here is my Packaging/Marketing RX for any Mitt operative to relay to my favorite presidential current non-candidate:
1) Man-oh-man, immediately lose that Rumsfeldian rhetorical construct of "....there's no question BUT THAT...." Holy shades-of-Bush-Era Batman! Every moderate will leave the room and not turn out the lights. Keep that radioactive core buried in the past. Do not resuscitate! Mitt, you used it 3 times in 5 minutes, and any such turn of phrase thusly abused makes it stale fast. Remember "Don't touch my hair"? Same deal.
2) Step away from the caffeine and nobody will get hurt. Smooth, baby, smooth. You have the rhetorical chops. Too easy, just let it flow as you did last time. I remember an interview Mitt did in November 2008 after the election. It was so pretty. I remember pulling over to the side of the road and pounding my steering wheel and nearly crying "We nominated the wrong f-ing guy!!!!" because the content of those off the cuff remarks was that good.
People, we will not be getting Rick Santorum, neither John Bolton. But we need to get one thing for sure, and that is away from Zero. So being a realist, I am ready to step over to the last best chance for freedom: Romney/Pawlenty 2012. I am already getting the bumper stickers printed.
Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate means another term for Obama. Sorry, I respect Mitt for his business accumen but he won’t stand a chance. The main reason is Romney-care, no matter how Mitt tries to spin it Obama and team will successfully peg Romey-care to Obama-care. Mitt will stay on the defensive on tht subject the entire campaign.
T-Paw and Hermain Cain stand a better chance of being president over Mittens.
Will someone please tell me that if Romney couldn’t beat that loser McCain for the nomination in 2008 how the hell can he beat Obuma in 2012?
Obama had 4 yrs in the Senate by 2008, Rubio will only have 2.

Well. My question (#38) has been answered.
LOL!
No kidding, I think Mitt is the only one who even stands a chance against Zero.
If we don’t do better than Mitt in 2012 then we may as well start looking for an alternative country to move to.
Looks like you get to to take your romney love elsewhere.
My take: romneycare is the BIG disqualifier for Mitt. What agument would he have about obozocare? He would have to support the uncosntitutional POS program.
If you are looking for an endorsement for Romney, it would be better to go to Daily Kos or DU, I’m sure they will endorse him.
Closet Obama fan???
I am shocked hauserman got the zot/sarc
Wonder what he expected from his psot?
I will never...never...never vote for him. He’s slick, marginally principled, and provided the usurper a template for his attack on America. Never again another hold-the-nose vote.
Sorry, but the results of Barry Soetoro and Mitt Romney would be one in the same.
I will no longer vote for who I think can win, not that I believe Romney could ever win.
I’m voting for the best candidate and that certainly isn’t Romney.
Ice Cream Zot!
Respect? LOL
Nor am I.
