There is no enthusiasm, I do not understand why they think this guy could beat anyone.

Does look suspicious.
Guy hasn't won yet.
So what's up in Texas.
Hmmm.
ON a far more serious note, the security cordon around Obama has tightened up. Think about the situation in Ohio with the empty meeting hall.
They cleared the rafters so to speak.
I Went through the whole collection of Mittbot pictures (I referenced earlier today) and what's missing are OPEN AREAS ~ aren't all that many people, but each site looked crowded, and there were just a few people in any case ~ mostly elderly women (the Blue Hairs I regularly refer to) and the candidate up front in an isolated group ~ with some SS guards you can see and some you can't see.
So, is SS operating on the assumption that there are people on the ground hunting for these guys?

In Texas, we don't vote until the 29th ..... we owe the RNC some bigtime "payback" for this ..... also the Texas GOP for letting the Dims sue us out of our original primary date with their gameplaying b.s. over redistricting (bet that was Obammy's idea) ..... someone needs to go to prison for that.
It's down to this: that Newt and Rick Santorum have probably pre-sold their Texas delegates for promises of assumption of campaign debt (that's spelled "sellout"), and we're down to Michele Bachmann, who's already endorsed Willard Whitehorse Becoming-a-God, and <gulp!> Ron Paul.
O. M. G. ...
Well, better a "favorite son" than no dog in the fight! What do you say?
I say, anything to keep Willard from locking it up! Open convention = 'Pubbie Freedom!

Yay, go (yaaawwwn)mitt.

I’ve decided to get behind Paul for sheer revenge on the gop-e.

It's an interesting strategy.
They couldn't beat Obama with a RINO like John McCain.
So a bunch of folks in the GOP apparently decided somebody quite a bit more liberal than McCain could somehow beat Obama.
I just don't think it will work though. You don't beat a liberal with a liberal, especially in a time like this.

The key words in this article is “GOP Leaders”.
The grassroots and Tea Party hasn’t rallied around Romney.
The “Gop Leaders” have always supported Romney.

I think that's the whole point. Just about everybody who started the race had strong lines of attack on Obama and might have actually beat him. However, taking the white house comes with the responsibility and none of them want it.

Well, even Gallup has him leading Obama, even though he hasn’t clinched the nomination.
Obama is in deep trouble.
Thank God.

Rick Perry wants it. He’s been begging for it. His enemies are lined out and he’ll damage them in or out of the WH.

Some of the tea party “leaders” HAVE come out for Rom.
That’s a problem.

yeah, you’re right. There are a few tea party groups that were bought by Romney
To: txhurl
Well, they certainly don't deserve our votes, and I don't intend to have Newt or Santorum shop my vote to R-Money on a silver tray.
To: txhurl
I was watching the NBA basketball game (Celts/Hawks) this afternoon at a Texas burger heaven and roadhouse, and suddenly, without warning, they put Romney's puss up there on the big screen. How disgusting!
Perfect way to ruin an already-unengaging roundball game.
(Ever notice how the NBA Game of the week is always one of three teams? Knicks, Lakers, Celts ..... or instead of Celts, Bulls, if the Bulls are hot and the Celts are cold. When was the last time you saw Golden State or the Blazers against the Nuggets or Sixers?)
Grump, grump, grump.

“It’s down to this: that Newt and Rick Santorum have probably pre-sold their Texas delegates for promises of assumption of campaign debt ..”
Rick Santorum has NO CAMPAIGN DEBT so Rick needs NO MONEY from Romney.
I heard Newt has $4 million of campaign debt.

To start with "enthusiasm" is a bullshit media buzzword. Perhaps you think an excited orgasmic enthusiastic vote counts more than a half-hearted "oh well" vote does. That' s what they want you to think.
We have had several charisma-challenged candidates who won in workmanlike fashion. Romney may or may not be one of them, but for sure, you ain't finding out from the whorehouse media.

“You don’t beat a liberal with a liberal, especially in a time like this.”
Yes we can! the disaffected liberals who voted for Obama in 2008 have had it with Obama! They will vote for the even more liberal Romney in 2012 in droves and we win!
Our plan is working perfectly.
