“I need to get 50.1 percent or more and I’m appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people.” – Mitt Romney
TRUMP’S BIRTHERISM is back and Mitt Romney is happy to have it.
Peggy Noonan, on CBS “This Morning” today, laughed openly at Mitt Romney when Charlie Rose brought up the subject of Donald Trump.
Romney isn’t laughing. Bluntly and plainly stating in a casual conversation with the press that he doesn’t agree with everything his supporters say and they likely don’t always agree with him either. But he needs 51% of the vote and he’s going to take any support he can garner to get there.
Tonight in Texas, Mitt Romney will official become the Republican nominee.
Also in Texas tonight, eyes are on Sarah Palin’s power for 2012 and whether she can bring in another win for the far right. She’s already bested Jim DeMitt, as well as Rick Santorum, in her draft picks. Opposing DeMitt’s choice, Palin backed Nebraska Republican Senate hopeful Deb Fischer, who ended up winning. She also backed Richard Mourdock who beat Sen. Lugar in Indiana.
Palin’s remaining potency will get tested tonight, as Texas voters go to the polls to choose a Senate candidate. Palin’s pick, former state Solicitor General Ted Cruz, is hoping to force a runoff with front-runner David Dewhurst. Cruz’s camp has said publicly that her endorsement is a huge boost.
As far as the presidential race is concerned, Sarah Palin couldn’t be more irrelevant, except as a bad memory for the establishment and, evidently, a warning sign for picking a woman.
Considering women are nowhere on the radar for camp Mitt, except for his stunning wife Ann Romney who can actually communicate with voters, my advice to the Romney team to pick Liz Cheney as his veep couldn’t be more jarring. It’s obvious Republicans haven’t gotten over Palin’s disastrous vice presidential candidacy, so a woman on the ticket seems less likely than ever.
Conservative women and Republicans have been absolutely silent on the issue of running a woman beside Mitt Romney. It’s disappointing and a dereliction of their responsibility to so blithely ignore another chance to catapult a competent woman to the political Olympics.
Is it possible that Mr Magic Underwear Man could get any sleazier? We have all the way to November to find out.
Sweet Baby Jesus On A Pogo Stick, that is going to be an eternity.
Yee-gawds, no kidding!
I do not think Mitt Romney should press the issue of where President Obama was born. I am convinced that Mitt Romeny is Mexican and until I see proof that he was born in the USA, I will not believe it. I am sure that this is Mitt Romney’s real twitter account – https://twitter.com/#!/MexicanMitt
He is an embarrassment to the CIty of Detroit, Michigan to have someone like Mitt Romney to say he is from there.
I disagree with you about Sarah Palin. She is a rock-star. More people show up to see Governor Palin than either Obama or Romney. Her bus tour last year proved without a doubt that she is a National Phenomenom. To say that Sarah Palin is irrelevant might be considered a sign that you do not know what the heck you are talking about.
1.” I disagree with you about Sarah Palin. She is a rock-star.”
As in crawled out from under one?
2.” More people show up to see Governor Palin than either Obama or Romney. Her bus tour last year proved without a doubt that she is a National Phenomenom.”
On what planet?!!!
3.” To say that Sarah Palin is irrelevant might be considered a sign that you do not know what the heck you are talking about.”
Oh sweet Jeebus Crispies onna popcicle stick with pins through hands and FEET!!! You didn’t write that? After the Timothy Learyesque delusional rantings about sister sarah you did not actually write that did you?!!!! Seems like my time of not taking you seriously but as a joke has about come to a middle.
secularhumanizinevoluterosaurus – Sarah Palin is here to stay. She is going to be a major player for quite a long time. Get used to her!
My GAWD what ain’t even there, you really are as delusional as you come across in your comments aren’t you.
To paraphrase the bard…Sarah Palin is a walking shadow, a poor player who strutted and fretted across the stage for 15 minutes and was then heard no more. She is a tale told by an idiot…full of not much sound or fury…signifying nothing.
50.1%. Seems that either one will be satisfied with that. And of course the magic number of electoral votes.
50.1% means exactly NOTHING but then mittens never has shown any understanding of how our system of government works has he?
Goodness, I swear how low can Romney go. I can’t believe we have to put up with this clown show until November. In a country of over 300 million people and we have Romney and Obama as candidates, gesh !! As far as Sarah Palin, I don’t think she is giving all these endorsements for no reason, the old saying in politics “you scratch my back, I scratch yours” something is up. For presidential election, I wouldn’t say she is irrelevant, she can raise money and is loved by the Tea Party base. I do agree though, I don’t think there will be a woman candidate for VP this year, it has not been long enough since 2008, now 2016 is another matter, for the GOP or Democrats.
