Gosh I’m shocked! /s
This is bad news. He would have taken votes from Romney.
Now it’s going to be Romney vs. The Actual Republicans.
We don't need another Rino in the race, thank you very much.
He has said NO for months now - why not believe him.
This is a push by the liberal media to try and show division in the GOP and that no good candidates in the field.
Good, a man of his word.
The stage is now set for Sarah. Sarah...? Sarah....?
Actually, he deserves a lot of credit for this. He’s been saying all along that he doesn’t think he’s ready for the job and he’s sticking to that.
He’s not letting the The Establishment cajole him into doing something he doesn’t want to do.
Good for him.
Unexpected?
He’s been saying for a while that he wouldn’t run.
The MSM is only kiling the rumor that the MSM created.
Woah, the GOP establishment must be really disappointed, they desperately needed him to drown out Cain’s message, or rather, any tea party candidate from gaining traction, watch for the focus to dramatically shift, and quickly to another stalking horse.
I have to say I’m glad he’s not running. It’s not that I don’t like him, I really know almost nothing about him other than yelling at a teachers’ union jerk which was great, but the field is crowded already.
FLASH: Rumors are now starting to circulate that Christie may be, in fact, reconsidering. /jk
Gov Christie, please get to work in NJ.
Fine.
One less RINO to divide up donor money, albeit one who gives good speech.
Now, can we move on? Nothing to see here.
Then say hello to the 2012 GOP nominee for president:
Willard Mitt Romney
Milt, the Magic RINO: "On this planet, he would have eaten
a mutating RINO like me."
Better put Ann Coulter on suicide watch.
1) Romney cannot win because the one BIG winning issue the Republicans have over Obama is Obama Care. However, if Romney is the main Republican candidate, then he is going to have a tough time since Obama Care was modeled after Romney Care.
A) Having Romney disarms the Republicans from going after Obama Care.
2) Romney is the leftist media and press choice for the Republican nomination. It just like McCain in 2008. Don’t forget in 2008 when Romney was ahead of McCain, and then all of a sudden out of the blue Romney steps down even though he was winning over McCain.
B) This is when I lost faith in Romney. If Romney ran against Obama in 2008 I have no doubt he would have won then. He stepped down and we got McCain (the leftist media and press candidate).
3) The media will attach Romney as a hypocrite on the health care (because of Romney Care)disarming the Republicans one big advantage. Moreover, they will attack him for being a Mormon (saying they are racist and have multiple wives) like they did in 2008 when they feared him and wanted McCain.
C) I can already see these issues will have Romney in Defense mode. So it will soften down Romney because he will not want to be labeled. Basically you will get the same type of campaign by the Republicans in 2008. Vote for me because I’m the lesser of the two evils losing Republican campaign. Which we all know how that ended.
Rest assured if the leftist media and press get Romney, then Obama gets another 4 years.
And on cue Romney passes out from relief.
I really wanted him to run. A rino split down the middle with Romney (and maybe even Paul) and left the rest of the field to the conservatives.
