Did anyone catch the startling comment by Andrea Mitchell, post debate? The thread (with video) below covers it.
Romney Adviser Said Party Elites Will Find Alternative If Romney Can't Win Florida
My cross-thread post (so many questions, yet unanswered)
Full Andrea Mitchell quote:
ANDREA MITCHELL: "I talked to a top Romney adviser tonight who said, 'Look, if Mitt Romney can not win here in Florida then we're going to have to try to reinvent the smoke-filled room which has been democratized by all these primaries. And we're going to have try to come with someone as an alternative to Newt Gingrich who could be Jeb Bush, Mitch Daniels, someone.' Because there is such a desperation by the so-called party elites, but that's exactly what Gingrich is playing against."

Andrea Mitchell was breathless to report this, and I was shocked to hear it. Is she talking about a replacement for Romney OR the introduction of an additional RINO to split the primary votes against Newt? leading to a brokered convention?
Why would a "top Romney adviser" be telling AM this now?
If you were Romney, wouldn't you fire the "top Romney adviser" immediately?
Would Romney be willing to get out of the race so quickly if he loses FLA?
Wouldn't such a tactic backfire on the RINO elites? Wonder if that's why Coulter was in such a state of panic on O'Reilly's program.

Another article that covers the Andrea Mitchell comment:
Yes, I heard her say this and nearly jumped out of my couch!
Yes and yes. Have been watching this little sideshow with great interest. If WE win, they will attempt a coup. That is the only word for it, so the WIN MUST be decisive. And I mean we had better frikkin’ be so ready for combat that they don’t dare attempt it. If they are willing to do whatevr it takes, we have to be ready to doubledown and do TWICE what it takes.
They pulled the wool over our eyes with GWB and won that round hands down. GWB was nothing less than a continuation of clinton, and obama is a ccntinuation of GWB. romney or someone of his ilk would be the continuation of obama.
We cannot let them do that to us again. EVER.
One thing we have in our favor is that thy are simply clueless a to who the Independent voters in this country are. THEY think independents are liberals and ‘moderates’ that they have to please. I think it is US. More and more of us left the GOP out of principle when they returned to dem lite. I would rather slit my wrists than register as a democrat. Others on this forum have done the same and are reregistering GOP to vite for Newt.
