The only “inevitable” thing about Romney is that is was “inevitable” he would be promoted this way as things shook out after a few debates and a few polls were taken for the MSM and Team Obama to get their bearings on the relative strengths of the GOP candidates. Everyone knows that at this stage, both elected Dems and disillusioned voters are bailing on Obama for a host of reasons: implicit in Chris Christie’s endorsement is his own experience so far in New Jersey: he’s been able to get things going in this blue state like no one else has-—he seems to think Romney would be amenable to those kinds of changes nationwide as the President. I’m not sure about that at all.
If people are assuming that all those now bailing on Obama are going to get onboard with Romney, and that THOSE PEOPLE are going to constitute a needed voting bloc for a Romney win, those same people could get back onboard with Obama as Romney reaches out for them. It seems as though Romney and this new philosophy of winning only moves leftward: never expect former Obama-ites to move rightward. Romney is all about meeting in the middle, and that’s only because he and his team believe that’s the way HE can win. It may be true for him, but it’s not true for all candidates still presenting themselves.
I never thought I’d say this, but after hearing snippets from the most recent debate, Gingrich is saying forceful things in a tone I’d never heard from him before , and “I like it”.
Romney , on the other hand, is still only projecting the kind of “just come to me” overconfidence that we’ve been hearing from Obama for the last 2 1/2 years. Cain may rise in the polls, but the Tea Party needs a real candidate to get behind, and Cain is on the way to being subjected to a piecemeal death-by-a-thousand-cuts by the MSM that will , I think, inevitably do him in.
Newt is the only one in these debates calling out people and issues. It’s almost like he’s fresh air.
Hard to believe he has said that until recently, he didn’t know about Agenda 21.
