Not bad for a 24 hour period. Looks like Mitt's grassroots strategy is beginning to work. They also raised about $50,000. Not bad at all. Go Mitt!

This is impressive, no matter what the naysayers at FR might say.

Terrific success! We had a lot of fun at the Debate Watch party I attended in Texas. The party crowd loved Mitt’s remark about doubling Guantanamo.

Were they selling Tupperware, Amway or lingerie at these parties?

[Reaganesque]

All three. And they brought green jello too.

Mitt’s a man of conviction alright. Of course, in a year he might be calling for the closure of GTMO just as passionately.

[Risky-Riskerdo]

Lots of koolaid too no doubt.

[Reaganesque]

Nah. BYU sparkle.

I was talking to a guy tonight who was criticizing Mr. Romney for saying during the debate that a rape victim shouldn’t be allowed to have an abortion. I told him that Sam Brownback was the guy who made that statement. At first, people asked if I were sure, but they know that when I’m sure, I’m usually right. I may have kept Mr. Romney’s chances alive with a few voters. Of course, I also told them that Duncan Hunter is still my favorite so far.

Thanks for clearing that up for your friends. Honestly, at this point, Giuliani and McCain are eliminating themselves from consideration. Giuliani with his abortion stance and now McCain with this amnesty bill. I wouldn’t mind a Romney/Hunter ticket. That could be quite powerful.
