Although Fehrnstrom is one of Romney’s longest-serving aides, he, like his boss, has no roots in the conservative movement. Fehrnstrom started out as a reporter covering alderman meetings in Boston and lives in liberal Brookline, Mass. His work as a GOP operative has been confined to New England — a region, as he often notes, that’s “pretty rocky terrain for Republicans.”

To some influential conservatives, Fehrnstrom is an enigma. It’s not that conservatives don’t trust him. It’s that some don’t even know him.

“I’ve never heard of him. I’ve been going to conservative meetings since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, and I’ve never seen him anywhere,” said Craig Shirley, an adviser to conservative organizations who has worked for Newt Gingrich, one of Romney’s opponents.

It’s a gaffe for Romney’s people since it originated there.
I don’t think it’s a gaffe for Santorum.

sometimes one buttress.."re-inforces" the other; to make the sum (of the two) stronger.
LOL...get your point; I like Levine, too.
it ain't talk radio, it's the "Mark Revolution Levin Show" radio program. :-D

If Mitch McConnell and Boehner are the best the Republican party can do we should just do away with the party.
I would love to have a second party start that is for Conservatives.

We only have one party now with two factions calling themselves Democrat and Republican.

Electing Romney is like putting a white Obama in the White House.

“I think Romney is mentally deranged. Something is definitely wrong upstairs. His wires are crossed - he speaks what he wants or thinks and not reality. He’s a scary dude!”

The scary part of all of this is that the moron voters of this country consider Romney and Obama to be principled, capable leaders.The other day O’Gasbag opined that Marco Rubio didn’t have the requisite credentials to be V.P. What BS, when you compare what he’s done to these two ( particularly FUBO).

"Electing Romney is like putting a white Obama in the White House"and of course; the RINO congressional weasels, shall have "cover" to do their (willful) evil deeds...
we'll have RINO President as a very convenient excuse.
