Fred went on MTP and Russert never laid a glove on him. Romney goes on and Russert whipped him like a rented mule! ( and made him cry)
There are no minds to be changed in politics among those most opinionated. The only thing that will have people rally to Romney’s support will be the exhaustion of campaign budgets of others.
The trial by fire continues. This guy has a crisp organization of committed people who, like him, are chock full of competence. Post nomination, in a year when the GOP donor base has closed its pocketbook, only Romney will not have to drain money from the campaigns of down ticket races and enable the GOP to either minimize seat loss or maybe even pick up a few. Only Romney can compete with the Democrat fund raising machine that is out raising the GOP by enormous proportions historically.
In the end, a loser’s principles have utterly zero impact on society. Winning matters. Never forget it. Mitt Romney is hugely rightward of Obama and Hillary. His commitment to traditional family values is the best available measure of conservative perspective. Contrast his family in the White House with Hillary and her parade of lesbian lovers.
That will be your choice. You will come home if that time comes. And you’ll sleep better knowing you did.
