EXCERPT

"Now is the time for Republicans to rally behind their nominee, Christine O'Donnell. She ran an impressive campaign. I believe it is important we support her so we can win back the U.S. Senate this fall."

Is O’Donnell unclean now because Romney backs her?

Is that Pawlenty’s frantically-running footsteps I hear trying to catch up to Romney as Romney jumps into the bandwagon?

is there ANYONE who doubts that Romney was behind some of
the attacks on O’Donnell through his vicious surrogates?

It’s comical. Why endorse at that point, it just makes Romney look stupid. Fox had “Romney backs winner” which in one way looks good, but in another looks ridiculous.

Romney's idea of courage was ... supporting Obama (like Castle)

Romney praises Obama again
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

Just like in ‘Airplane’ to the pilot after the plane has successfully landed...”Good luck, we're all counting on you.”

Welcome to the bandwagon Mitt. We congratulate and appreciate you coming out in support of CD. We need everyone to get aboard.

We’ll note you coming out in support after the tough primary next year when we’re picking our candidate.

Until then work your ass off for her!

I was just saying that it’s very noticeable that Romney, Huckabee, and a couple of others who were being called frontrunners for the Republican nomination had kind of, well, disappeared these past few months.

Romney was going around helping local candidates get elected, acting the big man, taking credit for election wins, while the press ran interference and smeared Palin every day. Then, somehow, Romney disappeared, and it was Palin who was putting people over the top all over the place.

Hmm. Here’s Romney, coming out of the bushes to “help” O’Donnell. Well, Mitt, you sure weren’t about to say anything offensive about Mike Castle while he was still around, able to make trouble for you. After all, Castle was your kind of RINO, right down the line.

Nothing like sticking your neck out there Mitt!

You're mocking Romney for doing the right thing?

A question for you: If Romney is the Republican nominee in 2012, will you support him?

Romney???? I hate the RINO...but at least he is backing her....the RNC is divorcing from her and leaving her without backing and idiots like Karl Rove are going on national TV damning her.....the primaries are over dooooshbags, she won....time to shore up the base and get her elected.

So what would you say about Romney if he did not back her? Intercene ideology has been with us since the founding of the Republic and if there is to be any hope for an eventually strong conservative majority in this country, a lot of folks are going to have to understand that their way or the highway usually leads to a desert..

I posted yesterday that we would need 1-2 weeks to know whether Christine O'Donnell has a chance in November. It might not take anywhere near that long.

Check out her web site: http://www.christine2010.com/ over $240k in half a day. It all comes down to campaigning skills, organization, articulating her message, and charisma. If she can speak in local campaign stops as well as she raises money and as well as in the clips I've seen of her, the woman has a chance. Now I'm wondering if her far left opponent has a chance.

“Anything?”

Nothing. And his silence speaks louder than his endorsement.
