It only took a week for poll numbers to be turned upside down in SC so there’s plenty of negative ad time for Mittens to strike back. Wonder where the heck Ron Paul votes go? It’s not like there’s another isolationist, anti-war R available.
I doubt Romney will get caught off guard in quite the same way again.
Remember this one?
But the longer this goes on the more it looks like there will be no viable R left standing so much as gasping above the cold dark waves. And when, oh when will we hear from the authority on all things Mittens, ArapG? We need his guidance.
sort of kills the undisputed myth of the Front Runner status a little bit. Unless up is down in the Republican Party.
Just needs to beat Newt before all is said and done. So much time to say and do, so much money, so many ads, so many rob-calls and so my much material to use. The Daily Show will be so much fun this week. And yes, I know Rs don’t watch it. Still fun for us.
I managed to predict his big drop in the polls but not the subsequent bounce.
Paul just isn’t spending the time or money fighting in a winner-take-all state, Florida, where he knows he can’t win (uh, that one, either). Seems like he’s focusing on Maine and Nevada, where maybe he has a chance to pick up delegate or two.
Not if they do, in fact, want to vote for the only “isolationist, anti-war R available.”
With Newt, it’s just a matter of choosing which vulnerability to exploit. I’m sure that Team-Mitt has market tested several lines of attack.
This would signal several things in my mind:
1. Romney’s base is also his ceiling, with not a lot of headroom for improvement.
2. Newt is as good a vessel as any to express GOP voter dissatisfaction with the GOP candidate choices.
3. Demogoguery trumps organization and money (as long as you can get free air time via debates and the 24/7 news cycle)
4. The Republican party would be irreparably split
But I’m still gonna go with Mitt. I don’t think the GOP is quite ready for self-destruction.
And it’s coming straight from the man himself, not a super PAC:
So much for keeping it positive, eh? I think I’m going to need one of those gallon-sized bags of popcorn.
coming from outside the campaign. And the robo-calls. Remember the ones about McCain’s supposedly illegitimate supposedly bi-racial daughter? What could they do with a long term work place adulterous mistress/third wife who didn’t care if Newtie had an open marriage auditioning for the role of First Lady of the holier than thou social conservative right? And by the way, doesn’t this kind of thing seem like more of a threat to the holy institute of marriage than gays, more than happy to leave your hetero spouse alone, wanting to get married, too?
Mormon church no longer holds polygamy as being “approved,” I’m just nasty and lazy enough to still get a kick out of the idea of a Mormon condemning a recent practitioner of multiple concubinery.
It’s like what chance would David or Solomon have of being elected king these days?
That was Gingrich. Which lasted as I recall about a week.
when Newt was talking about Romney releasing his returns he made a comment to the effect that if he didn’t release them until after primaries the American people might be surprised to learn some things about Romney’s “character”. Rather than respond about taxes Mitt should have turned to him and said “I can’t believe you, of all people, would make insinuations about my character.” He should watch for a similar opportunity
Florida is going to be a very strongly contested race. And both are willing to say anything about the other.
And I think Gingrich will win in Florida. He’s striking some kind of fundamental tribal chord with the Republican voters.
