Romney better develop a stronger stomach if he wants to deal with Obama. We need a leader that is Reaganesque. The president has to deal with a lot more than America's political parties as commander in chief so Romney needs to man up.
Ryan is a major plus to the Romney campaign as is Newt fighting the media. Romney's PACS and the GOP E did a good job fighting Romney's battle during the primaries but I would like to hear more from the candidate.

Romney's super pacs blasted Newt to the tune of millions and millions of dollars. I hate to rehash the primaries as it makes me furious.
Newt is a patriot and always said from day one that any republican candidate would be better than Obama. It is very difficult for me to be gung ho for Romney because I know his record as gov of Mass but it's either Romney or Obama and Obama scares me the most.

I can’t stand Rove. He has put his foot in his mouth on the Akin comment. Such a fat jerk. He is a mouthpiece for the gop establishment.

After showing the three tries, with the "no" votes as least as loud as the "ayes," they should show the picture of the teleprompter telling the MC on stage "In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have the 2/3 majority."

.....just after this happened there was a tweet or something from a guy that had his sound equipment on....

...and the "noes" overwhelmed the "yeas" each time....

so a split screen audio meter needed.

In other news try this gritty, gut wrenching 2 min 39 seconds re-mix of the Eastwood GOP speech and some parts of the Superbowl ad....

>>>”Genius Rove said this is a NO NO..”

Have you seen the ads from Rove’s American Crossroads PAC?

The gloves are off and they’re spending big bucks running them in battleground states. Good stuff.

I hope Romney is not wasting money in Texas. If Obama is, that’s a good thing.

Rove saying no to negative ads would be like Lee Atwater saying no to playing blues guitar.

Ain’t gonna happen.

Newt and Sununu are great in their current roles, IMHO.

They raised and spent a great deal on advertising in key states. They started hammering Obama during the Primaries and throughout the summer. IMHO,we owe them a lot in this campaign.

Nonsense. Negative ads help, regardless of everyone’s faux discuss over them. :D

From what I have learned about Romney he is a first class hard nose when it comes to business. If he approaches the campaign as he does his business ventures he has more than enough “stomach” for this fight.

My very personal opinion is he will not shrink from this fight and will not allow the media to intimidate him into pulling his punches as McCain did in 2008.

Correct. These guys are playing for marbles. Negative ads will stop when they stop working.

As sick as i felt last night, my only consolation was that the O show was over. Now the R&R reality show will kick into overdrive. No prisoners from here on in.
