The truth: If Romney is our candidate, he will depress turn out big time in the general as well. It's why the media has been so kind to Mitt. Let's watch as they turn their guns on Santorum, and hope either he or Newt survive, because if they don't, it's going to be Romney, and we'll all want to go hide somewhere........
Those were some pretty expensive defeats he suffered yesterday.
At last, Romney's karma has run over Romney's dogma.
Romney for Obama in 2008
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"Im told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palins people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romneys former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off .hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."
"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
Let’s hope there are many more expensive defeats coming for Flipper........
“Those were some pretty expensive defeats he suffered yesterday.”
‘Kind of makes me feel good all over. The problem for mittwit is WHO he spreads the dirt and slime around on Super Tuesday. He will now be forced to spend double to take on both Newt and Rick.
What did Romney spend in each state ???
It’ll be interesting to see how the Romney attack machine operates now. Do they have the slightest clue that one of the reasons for their losses last night could just possibly be that God loving Midwesterners don’t take kindly to their now familiar signature character assassinations?
So do they go postal again or try to be a little bit “nicer” to Santorum this time? I say: Go for it Mittens and Co.!
We wanna see ya repeat your Fla manners playbook and spend 20 MORE M.! :-)
Their coffers can’t be endless, ya know. Let’s hope that Rom depletes some more of his “hard earned” contributions from his fave Super PACs.
“Let’s watch as they turn their guns on Santorum, and hope either he or Newt survive, because if they don’t, it’s going to be Romney.”
I have, and will to continue to support Newt. However, Santorum is the best candidate on Moral/Social issues, but Newt is the best overall candidate for all three pillars (social, national defense, & fiscal). IF either of these two come out on top I will be estatic...I wished they would team up. Whatever, it is time to see two common enemies - Romney then Obama.
LOL, Diogenesis. That is exactly how I see Mitt.
Be careful how much glee you have over this vis a vis Mitt. Ok, I know it’s tempting. But the point is this: the anti Obama movement is being depressed - the whole party is being depressed - by Mitt’s tactics. This could spell the end of our nation as we know it.
Much as I despise Mitt, I do not wish to see that exchange just so he can get a taste he deserves .
BTW: I predicted this the day after Florida:

“Lets hope there are many more expensive defeats coming for Flipper........”
I agree. Willard has poisoned two election cycles now.
Agreed on all points.
He spent most of his time and money campaigning in Colorado. I don’t have an exact figure but it was in the millions.
I prefer Newt too, but would enthusiastically support Santorum if he pulls ahead.
Their coffers cant be endless, ya know.

I do think Mitt has to be knocked out to stop the slide towards low turn out. He’s a bad candidate, milquetoast at its finest. If he continues to lose and eventually drops out, I’m thinking the issue of low turnout will clean itself up fairly well.
Exactly. Romney is using some of his own money, but you can bet the Mormons have been funneling money to him ever since 2008, when he lost the primary but perked up Mormon hopes of getting a Mormon bishop into the White House.
They’re not going to give up without a serious and expensive fight.
