Carville(Democrat): "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy."

I could have gone two ways with the headline here. One was to note that Palin’s now leading the field, albeit narrowly — 21 percent to Gingrich’s 19, Romney’s 18, and Huckabee’s 16. The other was to note that those darned RINOs in Mitt’s base just might be ready to bolt, Delaware-style, if their man’s not the pick in 2012.
I went with my gut that you guys might just be in the mood for an ol’ fashioned RINO stomp.

It's not.
Romney supports the 911 Victory Mosque. .. and made $$$
off it. Who wants him?
Romney created RomneyCARE. Who wants him?
Bye bye Team Romney.
Romney voters also would opt to go with Palin as their second choice.
FWIW? No opinion? Post-n-run?
And give us four more years of Obama, because they're acting like sore losers? This is more media propaganda trying to get Palin off the ticket. They did the same thing to Reagan back in 1980.
Carville(Democrat): "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing.
Romney is an ascendant guy."
I don't think I can take another election cycle where the candidate is chosen for us and when it's all said and done we have to either vote RINO or be accused by the Good Ol’ Boy network of being a traitor.
IMHO, the selection of Romney as our candidate in 2012 would be nothing more than a repeat of 2008.
It's like one of those horrible dreams where you know exactly what's going to happen and you have to watch it play out in slooooooooooow motion, knowing every minute it can't end well.
It’s PPP and allahpundit. I’ll let you decipher them tea leaves.
or stay home. Go to Bama? I dont think so. If they do, they are not Republicans.
Mitt’s primary appeal is to liberals. Why should this be surprising?
So Romney voters would switch to barry, not a surprise they are very close politically.
Mitt Romney is perhaps the most uninspiring candidate Republicans could run. We may need his supporters, unfortunately.
if you would vote for Romney you would vote for zer0bama anyway...
NO LOSS!
this is what was suppose to cause McCain to win, the Hillary people voting for McCain....that worked out real well now didn't it.....
They will just prove what I already suspect about Romney supporters, they are closet democrats.
Neither is Romney.
-If Mitt Romney doesn't run the biggest beneficiary, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, would be Sarah Palin. 27% of Romney supporters say she is their second choice, followed by 23% who say Huckabee and 14% who say Gingrich.

>> Carville(Democrat):”... Romney is an ascendant guy.”
Well hey, if ol’ Serpent Head is behind him, then I guess I should be too!
...or should I wait for the NYT to tell me who my “conservative” candidate should be?
It’s all so cornfuzing.
“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006
"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

Well there is some logic here. Romney is barely to the right of Obama. Which means they love socialism.
