..... "Romney has continued the negative campaigning against Perry (but no one else) with a “new” website called CareerPolitician.com, but that site has already boomeranged back on Romney: He has owned that domain name since his last losing political run in 2007. Who’s the real career politician now?

Rick Perry’s run in the debate was a risky one, and he may trade some short term poll weakness for long-term gains. Polls a week or three from now will tell us if the risk/reward equation works out for him. I suspect it will; people like a leader and they like a fighter, and as much as we all claim to hate negative campaigning, it’s effective as long as it’s not overly personal. Romney’s “I can’t have illegals here for Pete’s sake, I’m running for office” is going to stick to him.".....

That's -- I'm running for office, for Pete's sake, I can't have illegals. -- Mitt Romney, GOP presidential debate - October 18, 2011 - Las Vegas, NV

Rudy Giuliani asked Mitt Romney the same question in the 2008 CNN debate that Rick Perry asked him during the CNN 2011 debate -- Mitt lost it both times.

Nov 28, 2008 CNN-YouTube Debate: Sound familiar? [LOOK who interrupts whom!!]

Funny Accent Mitt Romney, discussing reports illegal immigrants did landscaping at his home: It would "not be American" to check workers' papers simply because they have a "funny accent." [acknowledges need for giving health care and education to illegals]

Sound familiar? Mike Huckabee, replying to Romney's criticism of providing college scholarships to children of illegal immigrants: "In all due respect, we are a better country than to punish children for what their parents did."

At the same debate: John McCain: "We must recognize these are God's children as well. ... I will enforce the borders first. But we won't demagogue it."

If repealing the 16th Amendment to abolish the income tax isn’t a requirement before creating the sales tax, then 999 could become 911.

“Michele Bachmann’s paid New Hampshire staff quit today ..”

I’m guessing they are NH citizens, who are more interested in NH, than Bachmann winning. Bachmann would rather focus on Iowa, because Iowa is HUGE.

Santorum was on Hannity’s show today, and opined HOW IMPORTANT Iowa is, and Rick is also spending tons of time in Iowa.
