He mentioned Ron Paul, for one.
Maybe he doesn't see any other Republicans making serious moves toward running in 2012. I can't say that I have either, FWIW.
If you believe this was a pitch for Romney, I just don't see it. Sounded like maybe a wake-up call for those who don't want Romney at the top of the ticket!
"Hey, people, at this point I only see Romney making a serious effort. Is anyone else going to try?"
Ron Paul is not, and never has been a real candidate, so that reinforces my point.
Beck dismissed Palin and then went to the “adult’ with the “hard news”, Mitt Romney.
Beck pushed Mitt as though there were no other people in the GOP, including a couple of frontrunners that sometimes beat and always challenge Romney in various polls as they move around in the top three.
“Hey, people, at this point I only see Romney making a serious effort. Is anyone else going to try?”
It doesn’t matter how hard he tries. He won’t be nominated and if Beck doesn’t know this, he is CLUELESS.
Furthermore, he does not know whether Palin will run. All the signs point to her being a candidate.
He spent three minutes (of the five minute clip) talking about Newt and Jindal, neither of whom is serious. He spent 13 seconds on Palin concluding, based on nothing, that Sarah Palin did not want to be President. Then he concludes (again based on nothing) that Mitt Romney may be the only one who could win. I never listen to him because I think he is a loon and a friend of the pompous O’Reilly. If I listen to any of them, it i limited to Rush and Levin, who have original thoughts and back their positions up with facts.
Beck flunks on both counts.
