They do seem to have a decent governor now.

Sometimes even bad states surprise when people get fed up enough with what they've been fed.

10,000 were there. 3,800 voted in the straw poll. Mitt got 38% of the votes — which means that 1,444 out of 10,000 voted for him. That isn’t a landslide endorsement.

If your Matt Drudge or Fox News or CNN, they have their own kind of math that has Romney winning over all of CPAC ...

Depends if you believe what Romney says now or go by what he did when he was in elected office. Liberal is as liberal does and actions speak louder than words. The guy is the most liberal Republican that I’ve ever seen get this far in a primary. The WSJ said his economic plan is Obama-lite. Is he as bad as Obama? Probably not, but even Hilary Clinton isn’t as bad as Obama. Mitt’s probably about as bad as Hilary Clinton. The problem is that putting a liberal as our President will give him the power to pull the Republicans in Congress to the left, killing our ability to oppose liberal policies. The Tea Party will vote against him but the rest of the Republican and the Democrats will go along with him.

Anyone who thinks FOX are NOT leaning RINO now needs to get out of the cave they’re living in. Almost all of their Republican-leaning commentators and talking heads are leaning Romney, and what makes it worse is they’re not coming out and openly endorsing him. They’re trying to spin their so-called news analysis to favor him. People like Rove, Hume, Perino, etc. Greta’s pretty much the only one who’s consistently not been giving Romney a pass.

Yes, lots of people seem to have a large investment in making everyone think Romney is winning the nomination.

What in the world is the point of Drudge using this pic?

To subtly suggest that Mitt has been married a long time, to the same woman?

As I remember CPAC, not everyone goes to every speech. You spend a lot of time waiting in line for the popular ones to be sure you get in, so you don’t do that for each one. There’s plenty of other stuff to do.

That would explain the big enthusiasm for two people who seem to contradict each other.

It was apparently important to Romney. Important enough to spend money to skew it. He thinks that now nobody can say he’s not a conservative.

Mitt, you’re no conservative.

Right now the MSM is for Romney (0’s favorite opponent). Tonight’s sub network news reader glorified the (bogus) CPAC straw poll results as giving Mitt the “nomination he deserves.” As if they care. When’s the last time they gave CPAC the time of day. No clips of excellent Rick, Newt and Sarah speeches.

“Lester and Donna in their double-wide”—Mike Murphy, is that you?

You’ve sure got the smugness of a Beltway GOP political consultant.

If so, you’re probably working for Jebby Bush—and you think Palin wouldn’t have a chance against Obama?

When you hear USA chanted at a GOP event, likely they are shouting down a disruptor. I’ve seen this in person many times. Sarah did join the USA chant, looking toward her right in the audience. She followed the USA cheer with a cryptic comment to the effect of, “There, you won! See!” Check it out on Sarah’s CPAC speech link.

CPAC is NOT a conservative organization; so don’t be discouraged by this farce. CPAC is a complete misnomer and legitimate conservatives shouldn’t waste their time or money on this shell.

This is a pro-sodomite, group that has been on decline for years. Here’s a piece I wrote 2 years ago called “has CPAC gone Gay?”
http://www.thurstonhowell.net/2010/02/has-cpac-gone-gay.html

It also features CPAC booing Ryan Sorba for standing against homsexuality. This is a group PERFECTLY REFLECTIVE OF MITT ROMNEY - because they are really liberals who pose as conservatives. Romney probably paid them I can pretty much assure you if you do some investigative reporting - which I can assure you FAUX News won’t be doing.

Mitt is Chevy Volt of the Republican Party Sadly, true.

But, unlike the volt, he can't catch on fire.
