40% isn't a landslide. Barely winning by 8 votes isn't a "mandate" of any kind. It's a slap in the face, the kind that should make Romney aware of how many voters really don't care for him. Same with Clinton in '92: The jerk wins with what, 41% of the vote, and crows that he "has a mandate from the people to move forward." Reagan winning all but one state in '84, now THAT's a mandate!!

The RNC is so out of touch, it's tragic. We have SUCH an opportunity to confront Obama and his ilk on what they've done to the US, and to offer an alternative, but Nooooooo, the RNC floats "Ahnold lite" in the form of Mittens as the guy. Ew.

I don’t like or support Romney but there is something so condescendingly bitchy about everything Dana Milbanks writes.

I like Milbanks far less than Romney, so I’m labeling this hit piece as more liberal B.S. from the Obama press corps.

It sounds like McCain was not enthusiastic with his endorsement. So, why endorse him?

McCain always has a personal agenda.

I believe Santorum will begin grabbing all of the anti-Mitt vote after New Hampshire and will beat Mittens like a drum. I just don’t see a way Mittens wins the nomination while being routinely rejected by 70% of the GOP electorate.

The day after his impossibly thin eight-vote victory, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination flew here for a town hall meeting at Manchester Central High School, where he was to bask in the endorsement of his 2008 arch rival, John McCain.

An endorsement by McVain should be the kiss of death for Romney! The bigger problem, however, is that Romney is the default candidate. Most conservatives DON'T want him, but they end up defaulting to him because the media has convinced them that he is "the guy" and that all the other contenders are beatable!!

If that's how people vote, we deserve Romney!! C'mon, conservatives, we can do better!!

Great column. Thanks for posting it! I just saw the video of McLame trying to get the crowd all excited. In the background I saw young audience memvers giggling among one another. When he reached the pinnacle of his poor attempt at vibrance, people were reluctantly clapping out of discomfort I suppose.

Iowa got it right: 75 percent unite and say NO to Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney is the Democrats DREAM CANDIDATE because he successfully inoculates Obama from just about all of his most ignominious positions, including Obama’s biggest weakness OBAMACARE.

ROMNEY would be unable to criticize Obama’s worst positions with any rectitude from Abortion, gay “marriage” to Obamacare because Romney has supported ALL OF THEM. Inoculation at its finest.

To all: You don’t have to like Mitt Romney to hate Dana Milbank. This article is a filth rag from beginning to end and just a good example of what will be done to whoever is the eventual GOP nominee.

I concur.

I think the article is telling... very telling.

Newt... listen...you don’t need to go personal with this guy. Be cool, be yourself...stick to the issues... go after Obama. This guy is a light weight. He is no more qualified to lead this country than I would be....

IMHO

Dana Milbank is Alan Colmes, only light in the loafers. VILE and EVIL.

The problem for Santorum is going to be Fla.
Mittens has been blitzing the state with ads and other mailings.

It’s a large state and hard to campaign there. Santorum needs money and lots of it. Stopping in at coffee shops to meet and greet will not work in Fla.

So if Mittens wins NH and Fla....
