I agree. Mulhern should have pointed out that Romney’s entire campaign is predicated on the strategy of scoring big wins in Iowa and New Hampshire, which are supposed to propel him into the other primaries in a position of strength.
Unfortunately for Romney, Giuliani is breathing down his neck in New Hampshire, only one point behind Mitt. And Fred Thompson has come out of nowhere to just eight points back in Iowa. If Romney loses one of these two states his team considers essential, his campaign is in serious trouble. If he loses both, he is toast.

And Romney has had his own problems with guns and abortion. He’s changed his story on being a hunter and owning a gun so many times that visions of John Kerry are dancing in voters’ heads. Whether it is deserved or not, Mitt just can’t shake the perception of being a flip-flopper. This is one of the reasons why Romney has been stuck in fourth place around the eight to ten percent mark, despite spending millions of his supporters’ dollars and a considerable chuck of his own personal fortune.
Bing, bang, boom, nails the race from start to finish. Fred’s staff needs to read this.
A MAN COMFORTABLE IN HIS OWN SKIN!
FRED VETS, SIGN UP TODAY AT:
The sun seems brighter today.
And I love the aroma of pancakes and bacon cooking in the house.
“We Uns could do worse... much worse... than Fred Thompson.” ;)
That’s just creepy. ~shudder~
However, I must have the temerity to disagree with you regarding Romney.
I really doubt that Romney will break into double digits and he is hopefully not going to drag this nomination out with rather useless noise after super Tuesday, ala Edwards.
Romney, McCain, Huckabee, Paul, Tancredo.
All out with a boot in the butt after that date, and I am concerned.
Very concerned. When the real debates crank up we shall see how the underlying principles in you post fit in.
I hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Thank you for your post. - Bill
Unfortunatly money equals speech.
Thompson does not have the dollar power of Romney or Guiliani.
In addition Guiliani has the FNC literally carrying water for him. The other MSM is pushing their own because Thompson is not rasing campaign dollars to advertise on THEIR stations.
I just e-mailed the link to three people.
Don’t forget the REASON we have this absurd super early primary stuff is because Guiliani’s people went to all the RINO governors to get them to move up their primaries.
Less time gives Guiliani more name recognition steam. Less time for public to see the depth of his NYC liberal lawyer.
But isn't Rudy so tough on terrorism that voters will flock to him? No, he isn't.When Giuliani talks about the "War on Terror" he says we need to "stay on offense," which presupposes that we have been on offense. We haven't......
BINGO! We have a winner!
I think I just found my new tagline!
It was great, very insightful and comprehensive. Thanks for the heads up.
