What BS
I wonder if Mitt will leave the Republican Party and join the Demoncrat Party. His record of liberalism would make him much more at home over yonder.
Howard Fineman has his head up his ass. McCain is clear about who he is? Right. He talks conservative and governs liberal. McCain is who the MSM wants him to be at any given moment to feed his enormous ego. Captain Queeg is an angry liberal who lacks the judgment and temperament to be president. I will be voting Obama in the WA primary because I’d rather have the Muslim than Her Thighness. I will never vote for Captain Queeg, and have resigned myself to a democrat taking office in January, 2009.
I do think his Mormonism was the major factor in Mitt’s failure - I live on the West Coast and they were warning us in St. Joseph’s Church not to vote for Mitt because many converts to Mormonism were former weaker Catholics.
I’m not so sure his being from MA was just as big a stigma in the South.
What campaign was this guy watching? For me, Mitt's biggest problem was that he had no instinct for the jugular. McCain or Huck would slander him in debates and Mitt would just gently shake his head.
When someone's attacking you, you better hit back. Romney really should have had a few "I paid for this microphone" moments.
Howard Fineman is a turd.
Fineman: Pander to the Left like McCain and we will help you.
Your pastor should not be telling you from the pulpit specifically who or who not to vote for.
He could get himself in a heap of trouble with the IRS over that. You know, “tax exempt status” and all that.
Agreed. I’m a Southern Baptist. When you’ve got a Southern Baptist preacher running against you, telling the Southern Baptist voters that you believe Jesus was the Devil’s brother, you’re not going to get a fair shake.
Oh yeah - you got that one right. Having lived in the south I can tell you there is no bigger stigma down yonder than to be a northeast yankee. They might be able to tolerate a midwest yankee but a northeast MASSACHUSETTES yankee hell would freeze over first. That was absolutely a bigger sigma.
This is Howard Fineman saying this? Methinks he is spending too much time around Olbermann.
But because like you, I’m a nice guy, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt too, so I’ll assume you’re just a journalist with a light liberal spin doing his job.
Newsweek can stuff it!
Wrong Howie....you lose by not being the genuine article GOP conservative. We settled on Romney as the pick of the litter but not the cream of the crop.
Juan McAmnesty has a long record of liberal legislation with his name on it. He graduated 5th from the bottom of his class at Annapolis.
Al Gore and Bill Clinton were pro-life their entire careers UNTIL they ran for President/VP. Did anyone bring this up in 1992? No, of course not.
If Romney was a conservative-become-liberal well that would be just fine. the reason the MSM has taken aim at Mitt Romney is because he dared to evolve to the Right. THAT is unforgivable. Pity that so many Republicans went along with them.
“sitting on a sofa on a sunday afternoon”
listening to the candidates debate,
laugh about it shout about it
when you have to choose,
anyway you look at it you lose”... lyrics by Paul Simon
Republicans always nominate the guy whose turn it is. They NEVER nominate the "new guy." It's McCain's turn. That's it. He is in 2008 no more and no less than Bob Dole was in 1996 -- the guy who was next in line.
