It's a phrase I hate, but what the heck:

"NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME"

Mitt's a bad little pander bear :)

He's gotta work harder on faking his sincerity better before I'll vote for him.

"I cannot recall a worse field of Republican candidates."

Bottom of the barrel. That's what happens when conservatives leave the field to pretenders and the msm.

Ok, can we finally be DONE with Mitt Romney? As if the whole Mormon thing wasn't bad enough for his prospects. Paging Mr Thompson.

If "potatoe" did Quayle in, this should finish Romney.

LOL!

That's what I was thinking about - when JFK called himself a jelly donut in German.

but wait, his four biggest supporters will be here momentarily (if not already) telling us how Reaganisque he is, and that he's completely conservative.

Hardly a pander bear ... Beth the liberal journie doesnt like Romney for his conservative views on immigration that he didnt change for this audience. ...

http://www.miamiherald.com/515/story/37252.html

'As president, I will stand side by side with the members of this community in fighting the menace of the Cuban monsters,'' Romney told about 500 activists at the local party's annual Lincoln Day fundraiser.

But the Cuban-American politicians Romney reached out to in his speech don't agree with his strict stance on illegal immigration.

Romney has said such legislation -- sponsored last year by rival John McCain -- amounts to ``amnesty.''

After the speech, when reporters asked him about his immigration policy, Romney said he advocates tighter border control and ''employment identification cards'' so businesses don't hire illegal immigrants.

Some Republican leaders at the event said his positions could alienate Miami-Dade's influential Hispanic population.

''He's going to have problems in South Florida,'' said Miami-Dade County Commissioner Jose ''Pepe'' Diaz, who was part of a group of elected officials that met with Romney before the event.

Jose Lagos, vice president of the Latin American Voters League, confronted Romney after his speech.

''I was undocumented and now I am here legally, and I can't turn my back,'' he told reporters in Spanish. ``We need comprehensive immigration reform. . . . This is an issue that has resonance here.''
