Well, the media finally got the negative, slash-and-burn, “dirty politics” South Carolina primary they’ve been looking for.
They just weren’t looking for it from the Democrats.
Remember how the national media flocked to South Carolina looking for campaign fliers accusing John McCain of having a drug-addicted illegitimate daughter with ties to al-Qaeda? Who knew she would turn out to be Michelle Obama?
The Clintons unloaded on Barack Obama down in South Carolina, running commercials so ridiculously untrue that even Bill Clinton couldn’t defend them. The Clintons were forced to pull their attack ads on Thursday.
But by then, it didn’t matter anymore. Obama had already lost.
I know, I know: Zogby has Obama up by 13 points, and SurveyUSA has him up by 16. How can the freshman senator from Illinois possibly lose?
He will lose by winning.
How?
Former Clintonista Dick Morris knows. He knows better than anyone alive how the HillBillys think, and he sees what I see. He’s figured out the brilliant if repulsive campaign strategy of the Clintons, and how they have turned South Carolina into their Venus Fly Trap. The Obama campaign will fly in, breathe deep the sweet smell of electoral success and then never escape.
In fact, it is possible Obama won’t win a single state after South Carolina. He could even lose his home state of Illinois.

Since 'RATS are the REAL racists, it was bound to explode in this way sooner or later. I think it will even get worse between now and November, too. There's no way they're gonna put this genie back in the bottle.
And if the RNC insists on nominating McCain whether we like it or not -- (under the guise of "Polls show that he is the only one who can keep the Clintons out of the White House) -- then we essentially only have one political party.
That EFFECTIVELY will open the window for a "Second" political party. That's us! We can debate what we're going to call our party, but it will have to entail something on the order of the "Pro"-something or other - not the "Anti"-something or other.
I live in Central Florida and have already gotten calls from McCain whose main "scare" tactic, message and mantra (like the MSM), is this: "Regardless of which Republican candidate you are favoring for the nomination, polls show that I am the only one who can keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House."
THAT is ONE of main things Mitt needs to counter and blow out of the water. He needs to make a taped phone message telling his Florida supporters that they ought to ignore McCain's claims, along with any and all polls that just happen to agree with the leftist New York Times, et.al., ad nauseam.
McCain knows that he can scare many of Mitt's supporters into voting for him instead because the "fear" Hillary and don't want to "take a chance" on her getting back in the WH.
McCAIN MUST BE STOPPED COLD IN FLORIDA!! bttt
He’s not a lib. He’s a conservative talk show host in Boston, although not as conservative (and funny) as Howie Carr.
So, it is indeed a “Rovian” plot perpetuated by Right Wing talk radio?
I KNEW it!
Rove, you magnificent bastard!
/sarc
The Clinton’s are not Obama’s problem. His camp and supporters are his biggest problem. Each time he gets knocked on his a*s they (his camp and supporters) get their as*es up on their shoulders, get all shrill and accusatory, bawl race, pick him up and wipe his nose for him. Gawd if they’re not undermining his self-esteem and self-worth nothing is.
Behind Obama’s camp and supporters are the news media who obsessively ruminate about race and read race into every utterance particularly from the Clinton camp then like snot-noses run to the Obama camp titillatingly looking for ‘comment’ sot they can obsessively ruminate about it during the nightly news.
Barack is a big-boy. He says he knows how to play “rough and tumble” politics. I wish someone would let him. If he can’t then he needs to go back to the private sector.
Atwater and Rove instructed the Clinton well and the Republican ‘mark...er...nominee will be the beneficiary.
Just like they covered Fred Thompson's "clarion call"?
He won't do that because he's going to be her running mate (at least that's my prediction).
Mitt was on the attack in this tape, yippee!
He amplified on McCain for voting against President Bush's tax cut.....and then doing it again a second time.
He dumped on McCain being for illegal immigration and amnesty in a deft and emphatic way.
That was it.....short and sweet!
I'm so dismayed by some of our Florida freepers who will stay home on Tuesday bitterly licking their wounds or wallowing in the self-righteousness of their self-defeating stands. We can beat McCain who's leading in the polls here if EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVE GOES TO THE POLLS AND BRINGS THE WHOLE FAM DAMILY WITH HIM OR HER!

***McCAIN MUST BE STOPPED COLD IN FLORIDA!! bttt***
Well, I’m goin’ for Romney, just to stop McManiac from getting all (winner-take-all, y’know) the FLA delegates!
I wanna see a big-ass fight at the convention. In fact, at BOTH conventions ............ FRegards, sweetie
bttt for what you said!
I’m heading out to vote for Romney between 1 and 4PM today as this is the last day for early voting. I’m going to see if I can scare up some Romney signs and bumper stickers somewhere between now and Tuesday...maybe downtown at his Orlando headquarters at 300 S. Orange Ave. Ste 300 (in Lincoln Plaza at the corner of Orange Ave. and South St.)
Before I make that trip, though, I’m going to call and email them: 407-592-5331 / ALovejoy@MittRomney.com
If I can’t get ahold of any pretty soon, I’m going to make my own yard signs and bumper stickers. I’ve seen several McCain signs driving around, but no Romney signs, yet. He needs to get on the ball!
McCain must be stopped COLD in Florida!

LIZ CHENEY (previously with the Thompson campaign) just said that she is supporting Mitt Romney! The formal announcement is coming soon. This is a HUGE “GET” for Romney! Whoo Hoo! This will totally undermine McCainiac’s claim as the only candidate who can best lead America in the WOT.
And there WILL be “a big-ass fight at the convention” and everywhere in-between if the stupid party thinks they’re going to get away with cramming McCainiac down our throats.

RASMUSSEN FLORIDA POLL: ROMNEY RUNNING AWAY WITH IT!

As an aside people can pass on to others as extra ammo:
Here’s an item that I think gives a pretty good flavor of _HOW_ Romney thinks:

Mitt Romney addresses the Federalist Society
http://www2.nationalreview.com/corner/romneyaddress.pdf
* More below:
Excerpts from “The Swamp” article linked below:
“...the Federalist Society, the expanding network of conservative lawyers who over the past quarter-century have played a leading role in reshaping the nation’s judiciary and setting high-level Republican administration policy. ..
[...]
“..One of the group’s founding fathers was Edwin Meese, who would soon become attorney general under President Ronald Reagan. Olson was part of that Justice Department, and so was Giuliani, who served as its third-highest official. The plan was to sow talented conservatives at every level of the federal judiciary and ultimately gain a foothold at the Supreme Court. “That was very much on our minds,” Olson said.
It appears to be working as planned. When he took office in 2001, Bush leaned heavily on Federalists to create a legal power structure to continue the work of seeding the judiciary. Roberts, along with fellow conservatives Alito, Scalia and Thomas, now form a formidable bloc on the Supreme Court.
[...]
Split among GOP camps
But as the Federalists have grown, they haven’t been immune to internal fissures. Federalists have key figures in both the Romney and Thompson campaigns who believe their candidate is a more worthy vessel for their legal philosophies. And they say they haven’t had to make the sort of compromise that Giuliani’s conservative supporters have.
David McIntosh, a former Indiana GOP congressman and gubernatorial candidate, is vice chairman of the Federalist Society, and he’s a domestic policy adviser to Thompson. Douglas Kmiec, another high-ranking official in the Reagan Justice Department, has gone with Romney, whom he calls “authentic.”

Governor Mitt Romney Announces The Advisory Committee On The Constitution And The Courts
http://www.mittromney.com/News/Press-Releases/Constitution_Courts
I’m not sure. A 55-27 stomping is never good.
Better to go down swinging and hope the electorate is finally sick and disgusted with the overplayed "Hillary's a victim" card.
Ya got that right, Gonz!
If yer lookin' for a big-ass fight, turn on that big TV !
Thanks for the post! Read the speech given by Romney and glad I did. Sure makes me feel much better about voting for Romney on Tuesday! Hope all Freepers read it and comment on it. Would love to read the opinions of others, especially about what Romney did concerning the gay marriage issue in his state. Very clever I think. That part is pg 16-27. Comments?
I think he is a false-front figure propped up from behind by the hardcore leftwing apparatus--Soros and the like. Where else does a nonentity like Barak suddenly get 100 million dollars to play with, even as he carefully obfuscates his ultra leftwing agenda?
He is not supposed to win, although they wouldn't mind having their puppet in office. He is supposed to keep Hillary Clinton from running to the center. Which he is doing very well.
I don't know about that. Tall order.
Voted early for Romney—
It infuriates that— the Governor of Florida—Charlie “Krisp”—deems it necessary, to inform us, for whom, he cast his VERY IMPORTANT vote —A real class act!
Not even the black media will call Billary out. Robert Johnson, Pres. of BET network, is even backing the white trash.
Robert Johnson of BET was dumped by his wife for cheating on her with an intern. Johnson also had to pay his ex-wife a $500 million divorce settlement. Birds of a feather...
