It smells like Romney stole two Iowa counties.

New Hampshire allows the Left's terra cotta warriors to vote, and as Donna Brazille said, they prefer Romney.

Paul exists to destroy the anti-Romney vote.

One would think Bachmann should have stayed in the House and taken Boehner's job.

With DeMint promoting Romney one wonders whether a senate can be constituted to deconstruct the last three years.

In '64 it was Goldwater rather than what Christie describes as a circus.

Republicans have allowed the many leftist moderators and the open primaries facilitating hijacking.

If a consensus can be formed around a conservative, Romney can be displaced from his planned ballistic trajectory.

Gingrich, Santorum, Perry.

If conservatives can select one--or quickly substitute another--Romney can be beaten.

Johnson the Libertarian ought not deflect but a point.

Paul could be the Perot spoiler.

Black as things get, 1942, say, or Carter with the Embassy takeover, we always come back.

Find a way to unite the Gingrich, Santorum, Perry supporters and avoid the defeating stay-at-home effect of Romney.

We'll get it done.

Who could have seen 2010 after 2006.

A one-eighty.

I wasn't aware of the two stolen counties in Iowa angle.

New Hampshire was not a big surprise for me since Romney is a next door neighbor.

IMO, Paul has a good veneer, but he's rotten to the core underneath.

Well, someone sure should have taken Boehner's job, that's for sure.

Yes, that DeMint endorsement baffles me.  I think sometimes we're too quick to judge someone solid on Conservatism.  At one point folks were champion Christie as a great guy too.

I wasn't old enough to grasp what Goldwater was all about in '64.  I do know that it was Goldwater that caused Reagan to reassess some of his thinking.  That paid off down the line.

I agree that the Republicans have allowed the many leftist moderators and the open primaries facilitating hijacking.

And there's the rub.  Herding cats seems to be the best description of Conservative allignment I've been aware of.

I like Santorum.  Gingrich and Perry both have major issues I can't buy into.  I don't trust either of them.  Problem is, other people do.

I agree with regard to Johnson.  I was stunned by his performance in New Hampshire though.  I hope that was his last shot.  We'll see.

I am hoping Paul has seen his last good showing also.  He's a non-starter for me.

We always came back, because we never had a world-class competitor.  China is quickly becoming that, and we gifted it to them.

Find a way to unite the Gingrich, Santorum, Perry supporters and avoid the defeating stay-at-home effect of Romney.  I agree, but so far people are willing to overlook the Gingrich and Perry baggage.  I can't.  There's no basis for unification under those circumstances.  One numbskull wants us to buy off on the possibility he'll unite with the Left on some things.  The other wants us to buy off on the idea that it's okay if he issues and executive orders infringing on our rights.  Ah, no thanks.

I hope we do get it done.

If we get another 2010 this year, I'll be one thrilled fella.  Yes it was a 180.
