He should stick to positives about his own records.

There aren’t any. Romney is a liberal, lying, scumbag...and I’m being polite.

Who are these “establishment Republicans” that we keep hearing about?

The inside-the-beltway crew.

The older country club republicans who are fiscally conservative (at least used to be) yet socially liberal (pro abortion, pro gun control and he like). They throw money at the moderate candidates and counter grass roots efforts to elect conservatives.

"give us Romney and you will lose."

Exactly, they never learn.

And the one candidate on the rise, Herman Cain, is running for president in between stops to hawk a new book.

I find it amazing how people dismiss Herman Cain as unserious because he is "hawking a new book".

For crying out loud, the title of the book is "My Journey to the White House"!

Being interviewed in mass media appearances about his biography and plans is EXACTLY the perfect place for Cain to be in for the next couple of weeks. Far better than to be using this time driving across Iowa "shaking babies and kissing hands" as the saying goes at diners and coffee shops.

With his name in the news because of his surge in the polls, more people will be curious as to who he is, and there is Herman on shows like The View and Fox & Friends telling his life story and slipping in a plug for the 999 plan for good measure.

What he needs right now is to raise his exposure and name recognition, and that is what he is doing. Once he has established that national name recognition and familiarity, then would be the time to move into local retail politicking.

Just great. So it’s now between the “New York money men” like Kenneth Langone backing Romney and the Texas illegal alien slave laborers Bob Perry and Charles Butt backing Romney? And - OF COURSE - Herman Cain is “not viable”. What a joke. John McCain was “not viable” in 2008, and everyone on this forum knew it, even during the vomit inducing “hero” tribute at the Convention. This party truly is the ‘party of stupid’.

Et tu, Woody Johnson?

Woody should be less concerned with Romney and more concerned with perhaps sending the totally lost Mark Sanchez back to USC for a year of remedial training.

If the GOP establishment succeeds in pushing Romney through to win the primary. My thoughts on it are, they rammed him through, so they can get him elected in the general without any help from me. No more RINOs for this child, no dif than dems.

Ha, Christie would be crispy toast once he ventured outside his NE bubble. He is not even remotely conservative in any sense of the word. His anti gun stance alone would have doomed him.

“I don’t think that’s necessarily something to get too worked up about.”

“No, he couldn’t have: you’re forgetting that Christie has major Second Amendment problems. He supported semi-auto bans (one of his campaign ads ridiculed an opponent for opposing them) and would not be acceptable to the TEA party rank and file (due to their silly, misguided reverence for the Constitution.) “

yeah because he fears what would happen to Trenton and Newark if they all had easy access to guns. :/

Jonathan Martin, Maggie Haberman & Ben Smith writing in Politico as if they’re concerned citizens and non-partisan. Thanks freespirited.
