Well so much for Romney’s electability factor! Maybe eacn and everyone of us just shouldn’t worry about that anymore and just vote for the candidate(s) we like best!
>> while former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is sewing up the Republican nomination
Take that premise and shove it.
Frank, That’s brilliant :-)
Using the “Family Truckster” station wagon
from National Lampoons “vacation”. LOL

Romney and his staff don’t relate well to Mayberry, they just don’t understand or speak the language. It’s going to hurt him and hurt the party.
LOL!!!! That’s close... Still waiting for my version... : )
Yes the same writer proably reported on the Rumble in the Jungle saying that "Foreman wis sewing up the title in the early rounds."
The strangest thing to me about Romney's remarks is he appears to have lived in a bubble his whole life. All of my life I have heard the liberals accuse republicans of not caring about the poor. And strutting like a peacock the morning after his grand Florida win he uses the liberal language.
My first awareness of 'politics' of democrat versus republican, came from my dirt poor grandmother. She despised Roosevelt back in the 60's. It was not until Reagan that I understood. Romney is clueless and I firmly believe the liberals are going to clean his 1% 'bain' if he wins the nomination.
In election after election, Ohio has been the GOP`s firewall. No Ohio = 4 more years of Obama.
On the upside, Romney and Gingrich have proven quite effective in shredding each other. The public now despises both.
True, Mitt should have known not to start a sentence with "I am not concerned about the poor"---(continuing)because they have a safety net which we will fix if needed; I am not concerned with the rich because they are doing all right. I am concerned about the middle class.
Too late, now, because it is carved in granite.

What was the turnout on that SB-5 referendum? Did all the union members turn out and nobody else show up? If so, likely to be a”massive” backlash this year is my guess.
Bishop Willard Romney is a cold, callous prick, every bit as much as Lightworker Hussein. Democrats get a pass for their callous candidates and policies. Republicans do not.
The Blue Collar (un-employed Auto and Steel industry dupe Unionista’s) and inner-city parasitic tribal votes are VERY DIFFICULT to overcome in Ohio. The Cities have the numbers and the Fraud to make an (R) win a very un-likely prospect, IF they get out and vote for their handouts.
These things are only carved in granite because we let them be. I'm not defending Romney in general, but this kind of ‘gotcha’ moment can happen to anybody, and will happen over and over again to the Republican nominee. It's essential to have a strategy to rapidly and clearly refute those ‘mistakes’.
If I were Romney's camp I would make a preemptive commercial with the full quote in it, with the theme being that his focus is to improve the economy and help prevent anyone more citizens from falling into poverty. He can go on about how those in the middle are alone, victimized by crony capitalism and political manipulation of what should be a free market economy, yet paying significantly through their taxes for safety nets they have no access to (I'm not advocating big government - just trying to make a point about how to seize the populist message and avoid being characterized as an insensitive rich guy).
Any poll having Obama head to head against a single Republican are bogus. Ask any pollster.
The Newt voters will say they aren’t voting for Romney and vice versa.
That’s why Newt polls so poorly against Obama as well. Many Romney supporters will simply tell the pollster they support no one or even Obama. It’s a fact in polling.
Whereas Obama has full support of all Dems.
