Is it Hume's decades old association with the Beltway Establishment GOP?
I still remember the night Bill Clinton won and Bob Dole lost. We all felt the stuffings had been knocked out of us. Brit Hume was the physical, on-the-air embodiment of our feelings.
Now he is the embodiment of Fox News taking out every candidate but the chosen one, Mitt Romney.
It is difficult to find any news outlet - Printed, Online, Cable or Network that isn't controlled by and staffed with Establishment GOP supporters. And there are those Talk Radio personalities in the tank for Mitt too -- but of course they have not endorsed him, yet.
I wish they would just SAY it because it is totally INSULTING that they think we don't know.
Yes..it is glaringly obvious. I'll up that one..even Beck, who I have to pay extra now to have him profit from my intellectual property, had his staff push Romney for an entire week while he was out with a backache.
There is a code..and it is exactly like it was in grade school..people feel safer going with someone who they see others picking as the winner. They gravitate to "safely in numbers". If a candidate can pay enough people to support you, you will be the one picked because of the old "code".
Well the people do not want Count ROMNERT SKerry! Get his sinister conceit out of our face!
I may not always like what Hume has to say, but over the years I think he has been on the money more often than not, so he always bears a listen.
Hume, Barone, and Cook are the top three political analysts in the game now, IMO.
You are to be commended for your staunch support for Perry. In hindsight, I think many are going to regret not giving him a second look. And who knows, maybe he’ll come back on the scene in time with better laid groundwork and support.
I couldn’t stomach Fox last night. I watched CNN..They had some guy named forman who had undecided FL Republican Voters hooked up to rate their responses to the various speeches.
By the end of the night, most had decided for Newt.
As much as I can’t stand James Carville, and Donna Brazille, I find them to be more genuine than some of the fox team..
The truly funny thing was when Piers Morgan interviewed Gingrich’s daughters and asked about John King’s attack on their Dad regarding Marianne G’s claims..afterwards Wolf Blitzer was practically apopleptic “correcting” Piers that it wasn’t an attack, but a legitimate question. Blitzer was funny, kinda stuttering and bumbling.
They also had Erick Erikson of Red State, and he talked about getting word that the GOP elites were going to funnel money to Santorum to try to dilute support for Gingrich.
Carville was honest that we would hear allegations about Newt in FL, and anything dirty that the Romney camp could dig up about him..that new allegations about Newt’s private life would be 24/7.
The gaggle of text readers at Fox have been against Newt and for Romney from day one.
Right now Obama has the most money, that is a fact.
If the people do not get completely behind one candidate and flood him with money right now, Obama will win. Unfair, wrong, despicable...you bet..but reality.
Pick one guy..now, before Florida or forever hold your peace, cause if it goes to convention..the evil foreign wallets will come out from every rat hole on the planet all at once and the professional financiers will be ready with their ready made banks and promotional markets to collect...and we know who has those connections...Romney.
I've written them off. No more Faux News for me. I liked the Old Fox News but the new one is worthless.
True colors are coming out everywhere.
This may explain it:

In case you missed this most excellent post. Enjoy!
Perhaps the beltway establishment is helping Brit financially since his retirement from a more prominent role at FOXNEWS?
