Seems like Romney has bought off all the "party elites" and it p!ssed that such is not enough to insure victory.

He is one sneaky character (reminds me of Eddie Haskell).

Screw the People. We are your betters. We know better than you. You are fools. Shut up, get to work (if you have a job) and pay your taxes.

This has been a bizarre primary, but the conduct of the insiders and their arrogance has led me to be firmly behind Newt Gingrich. I want to put these a$$hole consultants out of business.

Oh, I’m sure one of Romney’s slick advisors really was willing to gab to this guy about replacements for his boss. This story has 0% credibility.

Alternative to Romney?

Ted Kennedy is dead and Obama probably won't switch parties.

So. They still have to get whoever they “select” enough delegates to win. That means winning primary elections.

If Mitt loses because Gingrich gets the majority of votes, are people suddenly going to give up Gingrich for another Milquetoast? They have to stop Gingrich, not select someone else.

And running another Bush (after only four years) is just too stupid for words.

Nope. Wishful thinking. They’re going to have to run it by us.

HA HA HA HA HA HA !

They’re eyeing Mitch Daniels. He’s giving the rebut to the SOTU tonight.

Remember when Bobby Jindal bombed a few years ago with the rebut? I predict lifeless Mitch to do worse tonight.

Correct me if I am wrong, but is this how it goes? . "Romney, come here. We've decided you are next." Romney: " Oh, thank you." Romney loses Florida, and they replace him. And we're supposed to just vote for whomever they pick? Do they get to pick our presidents for us? They pick, we vote?

Daniels lacks charisma, but he is usually pretty good at speaking.

Local news this morning reporting he is not going to run.

Their going back to Daniels. Just wait until the media get through ‘discussing’ the fact that he shared an apartment with 2 others that ran a MAJOR drug dealing operation (and all three got arrested).

...after all, there is a reason why Mitch dropped out last May.

It was Andrea Mitchell to whom the advisor is alleged to have gabbed.

How about Romney's alter ego car salesman, in the movie "Fargo".

Bob Dole might be up for another try.

If there are elites who really believe this, then I think they are delusional. Santorum probably can’t stay in much after Florida and Ron Paul has his ceiling of around 10% nationally. I expect the primaries will deliver a winner between Newt and Romney and there won’t be any justification for even talking about a brokered convention.

Another Bush? After the George W. Bush Fiasco? I don’t think so.

Anybody here think Bain Capital manages a lot of “Republican Elite Wealth”...and, seeing the bennies Goldman Sachs et al reaped at the trough of the US Treasury, they themselves just MIGHT want a place at the trough?
