The smartest thing Barry could is simple. Obama should name Romney as his VP choice to “reach across the aisle”.
Mittens would be flattered, the RINOs would swoon, the MSM would have a collective orgasm, and the only down side would be Joe Biden would lose his job. (That's OK, he can still get 99 weeks of unemployment, but I doubt if there are a lot of gigs for ex-Senators or Vice Presidents.)
You can add to that the spineless political elite who’ve sat back “not wanting to interfere.”
Their silence helps Mitt Romney. And I believe that is the objective of the vast majority who have stayed out of it.
They’re worse than the ones who have openly supported Mitt.
Oh, and one more thing...
RUSH!
All Perry voters did NOT go to Santorum.
A lot of us went to Newt.
Be careful, your “right” percentage dropped with THAT pronouncement the other day.
“He had to add that at the end and RUIN a perfectly good letter.
Fool.”
He is a hardcore PUMA. Defeating Obama is his true north, even if it means replacing him with the functional equivalent.
“He has said MANY times that he MUST later support ANYONE running against Obama.
He can’t do that if —God forbid— Romney does acceed to the nomination.”
Yes he will. Count on it. Every single one of them will if Romney is not stopped by the grassroots. RL preferred Romney to McCain in 2008.
ROTFL!
In my opinion, this was the purpose of the obama-Bush meeting. To assure obama that everything was still going as planned. Newt is only a speed bump.
The Romney nomination began picking up speed in Florida as more and more Republican Estblishment typrs began endorsing him. I don't believe that he will steamroll because they have to fool and pacify the sheep.,p> In closing, if there is Conservativ on this forum that still thinks that the Republican Party Establishment cares, considers,or respects their opinion except for about the two minutes it takes for them to vote for their guy, they are only deluding themselves. Sometimes during the mid terms they will throw us a bone now and then,but, it is mostly,"Vote for our guy then get back under the porch."
This is an excellent post! But that sentence really explains it all. The GOP Establishment is not "making any mistakes." They are getting the results they want ... that is a great deal of influence and even more reward ... with absolutely no responsibility. The Ship of State may be foundering, but they are already in the best lifeboat and they have the treasure chest.
I do it to get a nibble
