Campaigning in Ohio today, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney stopped by a Republican Party phone-bank making calls in support of Gov. John Kasich's government union reform referendum, but refused to endorse the actual referendum. CNN's Peter Hamby called the scene an "incredible moment in politics."

Should read: “An incredible moment in political stupidity.”

Don’t know the GOP nominee will be. It won’t be Romulus.

This wasn’t a simple political gaffe; Mittens just stepped into an open manhole and fell down the sewer. Rush has already picked it up.

Just a wild guess - bet Cain, Perry and Newt will back Kasich.

“Say good night the party is over, Mitt.”

I wish. There is a real chance the nomenklatura will compel a choice between Romney of Obama within the franchise teams. Mark Levin’s famous empty orange juice can is looking better and better.

It’s politics.

Kasich is going to get hammered on the SB5 vote. Romney knows that, and doesn’t want to be anywhere near it.

In June he supported Kasich. The wind from the polls have flipped Mitt’s hair in the other direction.

What a disgrace. From a June Facebook post:

“My friends in Ohio are fighting to defend crucial reforms that the state has put in place to limit the power of union bosses and keep taxes low. I stand with John R. Kasich and Ohio’s leaders as they take on this important fight to get control of government spending. Please visit www.BetterOhio.org for more information.”

Mitt is still waiting for poll results to see if Backing Kasich will help or hurt him politically. The man has no deeply held convictions.

Why is everyone mad at mittens? He’s just toeing the RINO part line with the backing of the GOP establishment.
Know your enemy, FRiends.

In June he was 100% behind Kasich. Hume and Rove will take care of the spin on this for him.

Twenty percent of the voters, including me and my family, voted for Perot in 1992. If Romney is the nominee, I am preapred to do it again - he is well beyond a Rockefeller Republican.

There is no doubt he is the party Rino’s choice.
