Mitt has the momentum!
To: Romneyfor President2008
Yup. He keeps running, evading his words and actions of the past at every opportunity.
I agree with you.

I think the media gleefully pumped up Huckabee because they thought he was a sure loser who could be skewered later, leaving the Republicans hanging out to dry.
Then when he did even better than they expected, they started to get scared. Suppose this religious fanatic actually won! Horrors!
I’d say that’s why Huck is starting to recede. That and his own big mouth.

Mike Huckabee's surge in Iowa showed signs of retreat...There's but one person to blame for this...
Huckabee.

How long before the Huckster claims he’s been “Swift Boated”?

This is the trial by fire that we use to find the candidate best able to organize the battle. Engage or die.

Will he AGAIN be marching with Martin Luther King Jr. before the Iowa Caucus?

Huck may not be the ideal candidate. But he is sure better than Flip Romney.

Will he AGAIN be marching with Martin Luther King Jr. before the Iowa Caucus?It's amazing to me how little controversy was generated by Romney's lie about his dad and MLK. I won't claim that I was leaning towards him, I've been a Fred supporter since March, but I was neutral on Romney until that beauty.
In my book it's no less a lie than Huckabee's claiming he had a theology degree. Resume enhancement I think we call it.

Definition of Swiftboating: "Exposing someone's past with the truth".
Go Mitt!
To: Romneyfor President2008
ALL of the attack ads in Iowa (against Huckabee) are from ... Romney.
ALL of the attack ads in NH (against McCain) are from ... Romney.
ALL of the dirty tricks, including push polls,
fake troopers and badges have been from ... Romney.
Meanwhile, Romney's BELIEVERS appear to have two states, either swooning
over their candidate OR cowardly hiding Romney's attacks, misstatements,
and dirty tricks behind his RELIGION. Amazing.

Hillary: All the mean boys are picking on me.
Huckabee: Mean Mitt is picking on me.
Whoever wins the nomination better show they can take the heat, because they are going to get it big time from the enemedia in the homestretch.

Romney said he was not literal because both the Press and historians debunked Romney.
Have any of you or Romney produced a single picture to prove those people wrong.
Against you is 1:
"On Sunday, June 23, 1963, 125,000 people marched down Detroit's Woodward Avenue
to the Civic Center, in what was described at the time as the largest civil-rights demonstration in the nation's history.
According to the next day's account in the Holland Evening Sentinel,
the crowd at the Center "lustily booed," when representatives of Governor George W. Romney
read a proclamation declaring "Freedom March Day in Michigan." But Martin Luther King Jr. didn't fault Romney for his absence,
which the governor ascribed to his policy against public appearances on the Sabbath.
"At a news conference following the march . .
[King] refused to criticize Romney for not attending the demonstration," the Sentinel reported."
Against you is 2:
Susan Englander, assistant editor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Papers Project at Stanford University, who is editing the King papers from that era,
says Myth Romney was untruthful, when she told the Globe yesterday:
"I researched this question, and indeed it is untrue that George Romney marched with [Dr.] King."
Against you is 3:
"King never marched in Grosse Pointe, according to the Grosse Pointe Historical Society,
and had not appeared in the town at all at the time the Broder book was published.
Im quite certain of that, says Suzy Berschback, curator of the Grosse Pointe Historical Society"
How could these educated women and Dr. King all be lying?
So how about a single picture to prove those people wrong?

-—How long before the Huckster claims hes been Swift Boated?-—
There was a Newsweak article last night saying just that. The libs just love this “conservative” Baptist Huckster. Curious.
