Ex-Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney was just talking on Fox News about Washington Democrats' “attitude of arrogance” on Fox News. Speaking from Scott Brown's HQ, Romney was a key backer of the little-known state senator back when he was seen as a sacrificial lamb.
While some are already touting Brown as a 2012 presidential contender, Romney could be the big beneficiary. He’s helped deliver the 41st GOP vote, perhaps derailing Obamacare. Activists will remember that.

Scott Brown is obviously a class act...
Romney could take some lessons...
The RomneyNotBots are not well informed. They think what they see on tv is what is going on. They think this was a totally grassroots campaign.
They have no idea of the sophisticated powerhouse that was behind his campaign.
Life is much simpler I suppose if you believe what you see on tv.
Romney certainly helped fund and his people ran the campaign

And yet Brown still won...

Well there’s an admission that Romney was not involved...
I like your style. Well said.
Not misled, just smarter than some.
Mitt Romney's Man: Scott Brown

Among the many Romney disciples running Brown’s campaign are Beth Myers, the campaign manager of Romney’s presidential run; Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney’s chief spokesman; Peter Flaherty, Romney’s “go-to-guy for conservatives”; and Rob Cole, Romney’s 2008 deputy chairman manager. Beth Lindstrom, another player in Romney World, is working as Brown’s campaign manager. Lindstrom’s ties to Romney go back years; she started working with him in the Massachusetts State House as director of consumer affairs.
Wrong again. Sen Brown was gracious and even
thanks Sen. Kennedy.
RINO Romney similar was touted.
Big deal.
Romney. Kennedy.
Romney. Pussycat Backstabber.
The big winner was the independents. He couldn’t have won without them. As far as I’m concerned, if he stops obamacare, it’s a win for all of us.
In 1994 Romney lost that same Senate seat...
He was too liberal...
Now in 2010 Brown won it...
No Romney didnt help Brown...
You can hate Romney, you can like Romney, but you are very misinformed.
Yep.
Interesting babble. Now go take your meds.
What I find so sad about Free Republic are all the Freepers who rallied around Brown, but cast aspersions at the more conservative man who helped launch his campaign -- Mitt Romney. Did anyone go on a hysterical rant calling Brown an abortionist and baby killer like they do to Mitt (even though he is pro-life)? Quite a double-standard. Makes one wonder where the hate actually stems from, doesn't it??
Anyway, it's a great day for America. I think it sends a loud message: AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO BE EUROPEANS!
Tonights results are no different then when Snowe, Collins, Spector or anyother liberal-rino wins an election.
How like the despicable RomneyBOTs you use ad hominem.
Shows that you have nothing to support your parasite Romney.
My head is spinnin’. Catch me before I fall down! Next we will hear from the Maine witches, Twinkle Toes and McLame.

Locally, I've been stunned at the number of strong conservatives both fiscally and socially who like Romney, many of them members of conservative organizations that strongly support veterans. One of them told me just two days ago, how struck she was by the strong sentiment against the Mormon religion at play with regard to Romney, which she believes will ruin any future chances for a presidential bid. Yet, with his experience getting companies out of the red, as she saw it (and I agree) he would have been the perfect president for the time.
I was and am no supporter of Giuliani. Yet I know some strong conservatives who supported him for president, often because they believed he would have prosecuted the strongest war against terrorism. In my opinion it was that assessment which was incorrect. It didn't necessarily bear a reflection upon the strength of their conservatism.
There is a huge difference in the perception of Romney between his supporters and detractors. Thus, there are strong conservatives who support him and strong conservatives who don't. It is not the strength of a person's conservatism, but the disparity of perception, which is the primary factor which should be considered when attempting to assess support for or opposition to, Governor Romney.
Had we viewed/view him the way you did/do, we wouldn't have supported/support Governor Romney either. We believe the perception of his detractors is for the most part, incorrect.
There are some other interesting possibilities, for 2012. General Petraeus and Marco Rubio (provided he wins the FL Senate seat which I think he will) are two. Rubio is in a position similar to Obama's when he ran against Keyes. (It was then the possibility for an Obama presidency first came to my mind.) The same possibility comes to mind with Rubio. He is the Hispanic anti-Obama. : )
We know little about Petraeus stands on the issues, and it will be interesting to learn more. But if he proves to be a social and fiscal conservative, and runs for the presidency, he may prove to be a promising candidate.
And of course, it will also be interesting to see if Governor Palin decides to run also. It appears 2012 is going to bring the Republicans and the country, an excellent slate of candidates from which to choose. But most importantly in 2012, Obama and the Democrats must go home. If we work together as well as we did for Scott Brown this past month, they will.
