conservatives like Juan McCain, his mini-me Lindsey Graham and Huckabee.

Too much celebrating, vililanteman? When did these characters become conservatives in your mind?

Mitt may be a RINO

Mitt IS a RINO!!

Mitt may be a RINO, but I’ll at least give him credit for not being so enthusiastic about p*ssing on conservatives like Juan McCain, his mini-me Lindsey Graham and Huckabee.

"It's exactly what Ronald Reagan did. As governor, he was adamantly pro-choice."

Mitt Romney: "I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."

Look into what Martha Coakley wants to do in her 30+ years in the senate, before considering a vote for her.

Also look into her record. Of all, and I mean all, of the high-profile graft and corruption cases in MA, every single one has been brought on by the Feds, never ever the Massachusetts AG, Coakley.

Perhaps media interest would bring voters out, which would be bad for the Dems.

It would be a sweet thing to see, but assume that the Senate is indeed split 59-41 after a Brown victory. If I am correct - there are no more votes in the process of the conference procedure between the House and the Senate on the health care legislation that need the 60 vote threshold in the Senate. From here on out it can be agreed to by a 50% +1 majority. So it’s not a game-changer.

Not a Romney fan, but he’s right on this one: if Brown takes the Mass. Senate seat, it’s hard to imagine a stronger message that the country - even that part populated by Massholes - is fed up with Obamaism.

Not even perky Katie and her ilk in the MSM will be able to spin their way out of that conclusion (although if it does come to pass, they’ll try like like hell to do so).

And the mittens try to attach a conservative tag on Mitt! He's tells what he is. Mitt is of the Newt mindset 'the Reagan era is over'. They loathe conservatism. Dede is their girl.

but he’s right on this one:

Is he saying 'anything' anyone doesn't know? He is just speaking the obvious - it's like saying we breathe air.

He’s got a megaphone, and given that he was elected governor, he’s got people who believe in him - if that helps put Brown over the top, that’s fine by me.

There’s a lot I don’t like about Romney, but some of his opposition is starting to reek of Romney derangement syndrome. Dump on him when he does something counterproductive (no lack of opportunities there), expose him when his people knife our allies in the back (again, not hard to find), but I just don’t see any point in slamming him when he’s doing something useful.

What has he done that is useful? He sees Brown may win and jumps on the bandwagon? Pleeeze. Shows just how much you are looking for just a ‘grain’ of anything to put a star next to his name.

Mitt is the poster boy for empty suit. You realy think anyone will vote for Brown because of what Mitt says? Mitt is FOR Obamacare - Brown is AGAINST it! A vote for Brown is a vote against Mitt and Mittcare/Obamacare.

FYI - DeMint endorsed and was an enthusiastic supporter of Romney's 2008 campaign.

What does DeMint know that you don't?

Agree completely, there are some people here who, if they were hanging by their fingertips, would slap at Gov. Romney if he offered them his hand.
