Dont know how to read this....obviously the MSM reads this as rats jumping ship....

[Andrei Bulba]

I read it as he wants to make money and the campaign doesn’t need him that much.

[Beagle8U]

Just damn! What will R+R do without that wet sock stumping for them?

[a fool in paradise]

[Colonel_Flagg]

I suppose it does kinda suck to be more conservative than your boss, when he’s running for President.

[editor-surveyor]

I’ll tell you how to read it.

A caller to Rush’s show yesterday called attention to the RINOs that were running Romney’s campaign, and Rush noted that they wouldn’t be there without Romney’s acceptance.

I think Mitt was listening, and asked Pawlenty to step down.

[listenhillary]

John Bolton would be awesome.

[DoughtyOne]

Oh Pawlease... good riddance.

[thingumbob]

I was thinking Weasel alert.... and don't let the door hit you in the @ss on the way out.

The Romney team must not have a space for him to graze in the future administration....

[Capt. Canuck]

Could it be that Mitt pulled a bait and switch on the GOP-e? Cozy up to them in the primaries and get the nomination, then after the convention go conservative on them.

Turnabout is fair play.

[Timber Rattler]

Heh...Romney's good buddy Pawlenty just stabbed him in the back. Or else he was completely blind to the "optics" of his sudden departure in the midst of this week's MSM assault on the campaign.

Hey when you get a better job offer you go.

[snarkytart]

So for everyone saying the media is hyping up reports of Romney’s campaign being in trouble behind the scenes...what do you make of this???

[cherokee1]

Bye——the guy is a “weakest link” —Romney needs someone who can swing knuckles.

[JediJones]

I read it as, “I was only helping your campaign in the hopes of getting the V.P. slot. As soon as you picked Ryan, I started sending the ol’ resume out.”

[RKBA Democrat]

Hmmmm. Campaign staffers don’t announce their resignation less than 6 weeks out unless something is afoot.

I think this is a jettisoning. True to willard style in a very nice manner with a plum job at the end. Loyal to those who are loyal to him.

My God what a Machiavellian!

[Taggart_D]

Hey Romney, hire Newt Gingrich!

[Eleutheria5]

Some rats should be pushed.

[Rome2000]

Don't know how to read this.

I'd read it as MYTH WHITE HORSE GOD FROM KOLOB ROMNEY is a degenerate pathetic con man liar and coward and "Bishop" from the mormon cult and LOUSY candidate from a party of blue blood country clubbers with greedy pulled back wives, and even "TPAWL" (whatever the heck that was supposed too be) realizes it.

Doesn't matter which faction of the Washingtonians are in control,collapse is inevitable.

Only thing too be worked out is how much they steal and extort from us before they go under.

3-1 odds I get zotted TONIGHT at Free Republic.
