Mitt finds $20M can’t buy voters’ love

Funny, I thought the Herald was to the right of the Globe.

It is but if they say anything against Romney they must be "left wing media".

Uh, Lion, not that truth is of much importance to either
Myth Romney or his robotic supporters but,
Howie Carr, the author of the article, used to (and may still) back Mitt Romney.

“Romney haters can prattle on as much as they want”

I think even Mitt got a good laugh out of this comic essay.

Let’s say you are right, and Mitt Romney loses the primaries. Let’s say I am right, and Fred Thompson loses the primaries.

Both men will continue to work. In that case, we might get a few more episodes of Law and Order, a movie bit part or two, and maybe Fred continues to dabble in Politics and he contributes to the bloated federal spending in the Senate.

Now if Mitt continues as he has, we will see a large number of new millionaires, and if he goes to work for Exxon, a huge new find of oil.

I like Mitt, but I am sorry that he will have to work for a bunch of sour grapes Republicans. Maybe one day, some will be appreciative of those who took a cut in pay for the cause of freedom.

Romney is just too cold, caustic, and not a fun guy to hang around. He looks like a Ken doll come-to-life. He literally is not the type of guy you'd like to go and have a beer with, even if he did drink! On the likability scale, he's pretty close to Hillary (Cold Fish category).

Went to the Hannity Freedom concert in Dallas with some other FReepers and Mitt was introduced along with some other politico figures. Romney showed up in formal suit and coat while all the rest were informal. TX gov Perry wore jeans and boots all the rest were equally informal. The contrast was very noticeable.

I just saw a Fox news poll stating Paul may come ahead of Rudy..now THAT’S funny!

The constant black suit and ice blue tie are the creepiest things of all. He looks like an undertaker. Couldn't they get a polo shirt with a blazer and some khaki's? I don't like him (in spite of the fact that my husband and I maxed-out on donating to him).

I don't like Huckabee because he's a phony, 24/7. (Another lying fat boy from Arkansas, what a surprise!) I don't like McCain because of the way he left his first wife to pursue the second one (after his first wife had fought tirelessly for the MIA's), the Keating-5 stuff, his stands on immigration, campaign "reform", Bush's judicial appointments, and Bush's tax cuts. Romney is plastic. I like Thompson's principles but he just doesn't seem to have the fire in the belly. That leaves Rudy, who's highly imperfect, too. I dunno. It's depressing.

Mitt wore that same suit and tie, IIRC. Fred is now being interviewed by Mark Levin — very nice Q/A by Mark. Fred’s low-key approach is refreshing and IMO effective.
