An excellent summary of supply-side principles and policies, and how Romney falls far short of embracing them.

Well, Romney appearsto be above 25 at the moment. 29 in rasmussen, 27 in Gallup. And rising in both.

He was stuck in the 20-25 range for a long time. Unfortunately, it seems like onne of the alternatives was really able to make their case and sustain it to enough people.

Cain is out. Bachmann is out. Perry may as well be out. Newt is falling fast. Santorum is the only one left. Maybe can do it, but he has his own issues. He got lucky in that no one gave him any attention all year so he ended up the last one standing in IA. We’ll see how he does.

But Romney appears to be on the upswing. A big win in NH will only help that.

SC will be the real key. If he wins there...

Whichever direction you walk with Mittens record, it comes up weak and without principles. That is why 75% of base voters despise this charlatan.

"I have this many positions on every issue"

A pro-growth Republican is a “supply-sider” who believes that stable money, low taxes, and limited regulation produce prosperity.

Low spending? Low deficits? Balanced budgets?

Or don't those things matter?

Someone write a memo the pols that we want the 70,000 pages of taxcode burned? A do over.

Romney needs to step up on this,
or indicate willingness to listen to the incoming Conservative Controlled Congress.

This needs to be the relentless focus.

But why has it taken Forbes so long to figure this out? I find Forbes and the Wall Street Journal to be increasingly irrelvent. Any so-called business publication that print an analysis of stock market happenings with a straight face is no more than a gussied up Onada propaganda organ.

Mitt Romney has been unable to win more than 25% of the Republican vote for the party’s presidential nomination for more than a year

My recollection is that 25% is about what he achieved the last time he ventured into the public arena (2008 Republican Primary)!
