When the mainstream media declares that Mitt Romney is finished, they expect everyone in the Republican Party to not just listen but to act accordingly. That’s the only way to respond to an astonishingly obtuse feature in Politico that centers on the willingness of GOP congressional candidates to embrace Romney. The story begins in this manner:
You might think Mitt Romney’s flailing presidential campaign would send his party’s congressional hopefuls fleeing from the GOP standard-bearer.
But in a curiosity of a bizarre campaign season, the opposite is happening. Few Republican House candidates have thrown Romney overboard — and many are embracing him.
Even as the nominee is forced to explain his politically damaging remarks about the 47 percent of voters who he claimed are dependent on the federal government, Republican prospects, by and large, say identifying with the GOP ticket is their best path to victory.

I think what the media failing to understand is that most T-partiers understand that they are in a fight against established forces for every single seat in the country, no matter how small that seat is.
90% of polls show the candidates running neck-and-neck. Would you give up on your horse if he were running neck-and-neck with the projected winner in a high stakes race? Just say’n
Man oh man, they are really scared that obama is going to lose.
I thought they were concerned, this goes way beyond that.
The media knows what’s coming in November and they don’t like it. There’s a massive silent wave of conservative voters who can’t wait to get to the polls. They aren’t loud but they’re there. The media and the Liberals know it and they’re trying anything to thwart it. Obama will be a one-termer.
“There’s a massive silent wave of conservative voters who can’t wait to get to the polls. They aren’t loud but they’re there.”
I’m clinging to the hope that this is the case; I pay no mind to polls, and instead see the sorry state of affairs with my own eyes, factor in the results of all statewide races across the country since Obama was elected, and feel that he will lose.
Ah....Karma. re their credibility, the MSM has sunken their own ship.
Agreed they are scared - Obama isn’t going to have his base and now the game is to disenfranchise as many conservatives as they can.
They want a McCain turnout - but I think we are going to see a Romney landslide.... people have been waiting for this for 3 years.
Buck Ofama and the MSM he rode in on.
They're crapping their pants in fear. It's why they're skewing the polls into fantasyland. Sheer, trembling, abject terror.
Dem voters take notice: It’s over.
The election will be a landslide for O’Bozo.
No need to drop the bong, stop chooming or stop trolling for gays just to go vote against Romney.
It would be a waste of your valuable time.
You can stay home on election day - just watch ABC, NBC, CBS or MSNBC and CNN - your side has already won.
Translation: The Republican candidates have seen the internal polls versus the laughable polls that everyone else is subjected to.
yep, because people are realizing the media is in the tank for Obamugabe.a
We’re not listening to you, politico.
I know a lot of people who will be getting a lump of coal for Christmas.
