Today is the big day!
Yes, but Mitt did not spend his childhood in a vacuum or with a single mother household. His father obviously has a lot of influence.
I don’t know if it’s a stupid strategy or not.
Rudy has taken a hit in national polls by his cautious approach to the early primaries. It’s certainly deprived him of free MSM publicity.
But if politics is like a battlefront, there is some wisdom in doing some early light skirmishes while keeping all the big stuff for the battle you expect.
I’m not saying he’ll win that battle, but I do understand why he’s doing it.
I was talking about Hunter. Try paying attention next time. As for pullng for Mitt,purely opportunistic, as it helps Fred.
“What’s with FOX and Mitt?”
These are the Fox Washington dudes; the offices are about a block apart.
Everyone doesn't agree with going to battle. It's honorable, and not something everyone can do...also none of our business if they don't.
I am soo tired of Sean continually asking the same question. Fred is jumping Sean. Polls? Polls? Polls?
Fred———”Walking Tall”
Most welcome.
Only because Iraq is now being viewed as a military victory, with casualties decreasing. I urge you not to take the issue switch too badly as it is good news for the troops; Dems have also been defeated in their efforts to undercut the troops. The Iraq talk is now that Iraq will retain an American presence similar to Korea. This means that AQ and Iraqi insurgents will lose hope and give up the fight. Our troops will thus be safer.
“You know, a lot of conservatives around here are getting sick of the insults. We don’t recall appointing you the ariter of who “true” conservatives are or are not.”

“We” ?????
As a conservitive I dont remember “appointing you the ariter of” deciding what is insulting to “conservatives”...
You are the only one “insulted” and thin skinned...
When I speak I speak for myself...my opinions can stand by themselves...
If you need a crowd, dont include my in your attacks...
Romney is a RINO/liberal, for abortion, as his mother was, and for gay rights, and has knowingly hired illegal aliens...
Yup. Not a problem. I liked both of those guys from the beginning.
. . .ALL of whom I would support - should they win. (not including - because they cannot win anyway and would not support them if they did - candidates Paul. . .and of course, Kucinich.)
This is the pre-season. The games begin on SuperTuesday.
Very tall! Go FRed!

Huckabee call’s Romney supporters crying toddlers.
WARREN, Mich.: Confronted by crying toddler on Tuesday, Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee quipped the child must be for his rival Mitt Romney.
“He’s not the happiest boy today,” Huckabee said, smiling for a picture with the boy and his brother and sister. “I think he must be a Romney voter. Look at him. He’s so sad.”
I’d prefer Fred over Mitt, but I’d love to see Huckster and McCain pushed out of the race for good. Guiliani can say bon voyage too for all I care.
I still like Mitt though. Even though Fred’s has a more trustworthy record, Mitt has sounded like the perfect conservative this last year and I believe his policies are genuinely developed and believed in. His negative ads turned me off a little, but I thought he showed great restraint not tearing into Huckabee for his sly comments.
Fred would be ideal, and Mitt would make it a win-win situation anyway if it comes down to just the two of them.
This race is like the BCS:)
