Bye Bye Mitt!

Posted on 08/13/2011 4:17:07 PM PDT by MNJohnnie

Good Bye Mitt Romney. If you cannot do any better then this in the Midwest your candidacy is DOA. You may win in NH but your are DOA in the South and the Midwest. Save your money Mitt, it's over.

McCain, because of his Military record could win south of the Mason Dixon line, Romney cannot.

Earth to MNJohnnie: Romney pulled out of the Iowa Straw Poll in early June. If he jumped back in, I must have missed the announcement.

And in ‘87 it appears GHWB came in 3rd, yet won the nomination and went on to beat the little Duke.

McCain, because of his Military record could win south of the Mason Dixon line. Romney cannot. So, if he cannot do better then this in the Midwest, and he cannot win the the South, where does he win the Nomination?

It doesn't mean anything.

Just like Bachmann finishing 1st or Ron Paul finishing 2nd doesn't mean anything. They just spent more.

Iowa voters like being bribed for votes.

Romney's SuperPAC still has around 20 times the cash of any other campaign. He isn't going anywhere. And most people will still vote for him because "he looks nice."

I think there is a very clear indication that the political landscape has shifted dramatically since 08.

Wonder if the GOP insider dinosaurs will finally recognize their imminent extinction?

I find the fact that he wants this SO dang bad unnerving.

I find the fact that ANYONE would want this unnerving. These egos (and I'm excluding nobody on either side, from Sarah to Zero to Biden to Hillary) don't seem to realize that if elected you automatically become:

.

.

The most hated person on the face of the earth.

I don't get it; but then again, I wouldn't want to run for dogcatcher.

Remember McCain? After Ames in 2007...his campaign was completely bankrupt. If anything, he was worse off than Mitt is now.

That's what everyone thought. Turns out though that his whole operation was being propped up by other means by George Soros.

The RINO Romney pulled out
because he knew HE IS A FAILURE.

It is the same exact reason the RINO ROmney FLED
Massachusetts. Citizens are ready to ‘tar and feather’ him.

FOX's misogynist RomneyBOT:

"FOX News and I have determined that
Romney's 3% tally in the Iowa Straw Poll
PROVES that Romney remains our GOP LEADER."

I don’t think Romney can win the nomination either, for many reasons. But you wrote (in post #20) that “no candidate who has finished less then 2nd [in this poll] has ever won the nomination” — a demonstrably false statement. No need to invent facts.

I certainly thought I remembered waiting breathlessly for the North Carolina vote and watching those precincts roll in. I remember the roar that went up when he finally won it.

More and more it’s not about being the “early bird”, but being the “second mouse.” Make the others peak early and get shot down, then swoop in.

I've said before that Palin is sitting in her Formula One racer, just waiting for the opening act demolition derby to conclude.
