Mittens went on the attack—maybe be took some of the hot air out of Newt—but it just stopped the bleeding. He must have more ammunition if he is to win Florida. Newt didn’t do as well, but held his own—there will be another debate Friday—round two.
But what I know of Mitt’s attacks is that they never ring true. I live in Florida. I have been flooded with Mitt Romney attacks for months. He is coming off as nothing but an attacker. In the mail today his super pac sent four giant mailers — one anti-Gingrich, one pro-Romney and two anti-Santorum. I’ve received many anti-Gingrich mailers over the last few months.
You see even with all the money, and all air time, we have nonstop Romney ads down here, people don’t believe him. No one else is sending any ads out just Romney and he’s still losing. What do you think will happen when the other people, like Newt, get into the game?
Mitt’s numbers have a low ceiling he can’t clear. People don’t like him and there does not appear to be anything he can do to make himself a more acceptable candidate. His past history is set. He can’t run from it. Mitt spent money like water last time (2008) and came in third. He’s spending money like water again and he may be fortunate to come in second. All his money, lies, and attempts to destroy other candidates cannot over come his slimy liberal past. Both he and his handlers are completely out of touch with the world.
