Deceptive headline. It implies that anyone who does anything to defeat Romney is someohow helping Obama.
The fact is that Obama will win handily against Romney, and everybody (including Obama) knows this, and therefore it is to their advantage to keep the Romney candidacy strong.
The only way Perry is “helping” Obama is that he is not having much luck against Romney, at least in part because of silly remarks that he is a “liberal.” He is liberal in nothing, so far as I can see; the only real liberal running at present is Romney, since Huntsman, Pawlenty and Christie pretty much dropped out.
But I think the Dems were very successful (probably by posting on FR!) at creating a real hatred of Perry that occasionally verges towards a remake of the BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) suffered by many here.
Definitely deceptive. It is Politico, after all. They’re worried, but it’s not about Romney.
Obama will beat liberal Romney. The media pimps for him because they want him to run against Obama. Fox News pimps for him because they have been ordered by GOP insider Roger Ailes to do exactly that. Karl Rove, the ultimate insider RINO never lets a day go by without saying Romney will be the nominee and how stupid Perry is. Cain is not given much credit for anything but being lucky. Romney, if the GOP nominee, will lose to Obama. McCain redux. Romney can not get the real conseratives to the polls. Perry can. So start supporting Perry if you want a conservative in the White House. Mr. establishment liberal Willard Romney is not the answer in the year of the Tea Party. You would think that the GOP beltway boys would understand that. Guess they’ll have to learn the hard way.
