Michigan, Romney’s fire wall, South Carolina, Huckabee and Thompson have fire walls, and in Florida Giuliani has erected a wishing wall.
Romney should resign, and send his money and voters to
a real conservative. It would give him some dignity.
Perhaps Hamtramck. ....ground zero for Islamic expansion in the US.
Not going to happen. He’s our Dennis Kucinich. We’re stuck with him.
Why should Romney quit when he is winning the race? Is that the only hope your candidate has?

I see the Gang of 14 Mitt bashers is still alive and well. Amazing how you guys feed off one another.
No-
Wow - the Romney haters have all crawled out from under their rocks tonight.
It would be more appropriate for those behind Romney at this point in the race to think about quitting....and that includes all of them!
Winners don’t quit.
“Ground Zero” is a troublesome phrase these days. It used to mean simply the center of impact. Now, in the minds of many, it means a specific point in lower Manhattan. So folks who are accustomed to using “Ground Zero” in a generic sense now find that, in the minds of many, they’re comparing whatever they’re talking about to the attacks of 9/11/01.
A similar phrase is “D-Day.” It used to be a generic term — a military action would occur at D-Day, H-Hour. These terms were used in communications because it would be, frankly, stupid to use the specific date and time in any comms that might be intercepted. But to most folks. “D-Day” refers to June 6, 1944.
To older folks, “D-Day” could mean any decision point, not just Normandy. To less-older folks — and I include myself — “Ground Zero” could mean any point of impact, not just the WTC site. But these are classic cases where what you say is not necessarily what others hear. That’s the minefield politicians walk.
I was working in a newsroom when Hurricane Katrina came ashore. One of our reporters referred to the area where the storm was expected to make landfall as “Ground Zero.” We got hundreds of e-mails in a matter of minutes from people who were indignant that we were, to their minds, comparing the storm to the 9/11 attacks.
Why not?
It was Romney that planted that false story to "The Politico" on the day of the Iowa Caucus that Thompson was quitting the race.
It was the sleaziest of sleaze by Romney. Thompson told a reporter it cost him at least 3% in Iowa.
The Clinton's could learn some great sleaze from Romney's book.
