Charen seems to wish Romney had the Reaganesque ability to talk over the heads of the MSM. But no Republican does, in these times - everything goes through The Filter. Romney is not good at making the little people feel better about themselves, though, and that could be his downfall if the little people decide they prefer the crumbling remains of Obama’s Hope to making hard and necessary changes.

Kent, just the opposite. I love ya man, but I heard the same thing in 2008---that "McCain was no different than Obama." Well, WRONG.

As horrible as McCain would have been, half the stuff that has happened would never have occurred, and a lot more Americans would be alive.

And quit with Mona Charen. She's just another blabberer, sometimes right sometimes wrong. No different than Peggy Noonan.

“Take two points off his margins here - where do you end up?”

Romney up by four?

So why does NRO blame Romney for not making the case? Why don’t they HELP make the case instead of whining about it?

Because when they abandoned conservatism in 2008 to endorse Romney, many of us cancelled our subscriptions?

[...] what Charen. . . and you . . . are doing is a threat to the Republic.

I love ya man

Far be it from me to point out the blindingly obvious fact that the two statements, above, cannot even remotely be reconciled. However: the two statements, above, cannot even remotely be reconciled. ;)

I heard the same thing in 2008---that "McCain was no different than Obama." Well, WRONG.

What I remember hearing ad nauseum in '08, alternately, was a months-long fusillade of snide, arrogant assurances on the parts of McCainiacs various and sundry that "You can't believe the MSM polls showing McCain trailing Obama!" and "McCain already has this election in the freakin' BAG, buddy!" and (my personal favorite; ululated just two or three days prior to the election, itself) "FORTY-SEVEN STATE SWEEP, BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE -- !!!" Well... ummmmmmmmmmm... WRONG, as the saying evidently goes. ;)

I've been eligible to vote (and have faithfully done so) since Ford/Carter, and I've yet to see ANY campaign forced to repeat -- on a daily basis; for weeks, or even months -- "donnnnnnnnnnnnn't belieeeeeeeeeeeeeve the pollllllllssssssss... donnnnnnnnnnnnn't belieeeeeeeeeeeeeve the pollllllllssssssss..." end up in the winning column, come November.

Should Romney somehowstartle, by being the very first, fine and dandy... but: he actually has to do it first, before I actually go ahead and award him credit for doing so. I'm just naturally funny, that way. ;)

So, you’d already eating crow as Romney today moved ahead in CO and FL and nationally in Ras . . . . No, didn’t think so.

... ummmmmmmmmmmm... whaaaaaaa -- ?!?

Evidently, you've opted for debating things with The Tiny Imaginary Kent That Lives In Your Head, rather than me (or anything I've actually typed).

[::shrugs::] You two play nice, now. ;)

No, apparently that Kent is tiny. Though not imaginary. Thought he was bigger.

I'm certain it must seem that way to you, sometimes. ;)

Thaaaaaaaaaat's it. Let the rich, dark, jihadiesque hatred flow all the way through you, by all means.

Now: shrill "ULULULULULULULULUL -- !!!" and fire your sub-machine gun into the air.

(... *sheesh*...!) ;)

You know where to send any/all evidence in support of that claim, son.

Otherwise, you're simply trolling, and wasting both my time and yours.

Bored now.
