You are wrong...Kristol has NEVER been a Romney fan, not even close!

"He has a certain stature, demeanor and commanding presence."

I agree completely- and that's BEFORE he speaks!

Only an elitist like Krystol would think that Mr. “Call a truce on social issues” Daniels would be acceptable to the largest group of conservatives.

These Beltway boys are really grasping at straws. They are desperate and Mitt is toast.

I honestly don’t believe either Romney or Mitt are really all that conservative. But Mitt is worse and his elite cocktail party people need to sit down, shut up and stop imagining they can decide things for us or tell us what to do.

Mittens went on the attack—maybe be took some of the hot air out of Newt—but it just stopped the bleeding. He must have more ammunition if he is to win Florida. Newt didn’t do as well, but held his own—there will be another debate Friday—round two.

Newt is a fighter, and that is what we need at this moment.

I am sorry, but the fact is this is the hand we have been dealt.

Either Romney, Newt or Obama are going to be President.

Those are our choices.

The attempts to put in someone else by the RINO'S just shows they know Newt is going to win this.

But what I know of Mitt’s attacks is that they never ring true. I live in Florida. I have been flooded with Mitt Romney attacks for months. He is coming off as nothing but an attacker. In the mail today his super pac sent four giant mailers — one anti-Gingrich, one pro-Romney and two anti-Santorum. I’ve received many anti-Gingrich mailers over the last few months.

You see even with all the money, and all air time, we have nonstop Romney ads down here, people don’t believe him. No one else is sending any ads out just Romney and he’s still losing. What do you think will happen when the other people, like Newt, get into the game?

Mitt’s numbers have a low ceiling he can’t clear. People don’t like him and there does not appear to be anything he can do to make himself a more acceptable candidate. His past history is set. He can’t run from it. Mitt spent money like water last time (2008) and came in third. He’s spending money like water again and he may be fortunate to come in second. All his money, lies, and attempts to destroy other candidates cannot over come his slimy liberal past. Both he and his handlers are completely out of touch with the world.

Williams is an overeducated fool. He think of himself as an anchor . I perfer people like Bob Schieffer, even if I don’r like his political bias,. He just thinks of himself as a print reporter in an expensive suit.

“A ground swell for another RINO who wants to have a “truce” on social issues? Not hardly.”

And ‘no comment’ on foreign policy.

-- Bill Crystal has lost his mind. --

Either no problem, because he didn't have much to lose in the first place; or it's a big problem because, being so small, it's going to difficult to find/locate.

William Kristol,

I don’t care what you think. Why? You are always wrong. As you are on this.

Sincerly,

A Conservative.

Last summer I would have supported Mitch Daniels too. Over Newt, or Santorum, and certainly over Romney.

But the train has left the station, and Newt's the best of those who actually got on board.

Sarcasm?

I say bring it on. This guy will be another Rick Perry. Newt has been preparing for this campaign for 25 years. It shows in the debates and Townhalls. He’d have this wrapped up if the party elites were for him.

INSTEAD HE WILL BE THE TEA PARTY CANDIDATE.

“More importantly when is Kristol going to have his Inappropriate Smiling Syndrome problem corrected?”

I think they are waiting for a personality donor so they can do the transplant.

I've got a cast plaster garden gnome that's on its last legs; I'd be willing to part with it, if it would help.

Actually, Kristol makes Ann look manly. Every time that guy appears in public, I expect someone to be following him around with a giant sponge to soak up the estrogen overflow. Pusillanimous little fem.

I think he meant Jack Daniels. The establishment are drinking a lot more of it these days.
