Mitt is toast.

[GoCards]

Now that is funny there.

[hinckley buzzard]

Romney gets almost no media publicity. Hardly makes a ripple.

Hard to get elected that way no matter how much money you spend.

[ignoramus2010]

Romney is a great executive, but has no X factor. Elections are like American Idol. If you have no charisma, you lose. Look at Obama all style, no substance. He won.

[9YearLurker]

Certainly Mitt’s money is more influential and probably more welcomed than his endorsement, but Palin’s endorsement, when the accusations are flying? That was priceless.

[Xenalyte]

From my point of view, he’s dead-on right. I don’t give a damn who endorses who, and never have. Educated, informed voters (who, let’s admit it, are the minority) don’t need a celebrity to tell us who to vote for.

[pissant]

When all the mud was flying and Governor Palin publicly and steadfastly stood behind Haley, Romney was, as is his custom, nowhere to be found.

More fiction from Precious' minions.

Willard the RAT needs to join his real love, the democrats.

“Endorsements are nice, but Governor Romney understands that money wins elections,” Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom told POLITICO.

Yeah, like for Alvin Greene.

Romney spent HOW much in New Hampshire, his next door neighbor, to lose to McCain, who was nearly broke by the time that primary hit?

[Servant of the Cross]

An objective observer of the value of endorsements from a firsthand perspective would be Rick Santorum, who said ... Palin is the only endorsement anyone wants.

So Mitt sends Eric Fehrnstrom (bigtime putz) out to pooh-pooh endorsements because Mitt's endorsements mean nothing, and everybody knows it.

Santorum, however, doesn’t play coy when I ask him about what his endorsement means to a fellow Republican, if anything. “Palin is the only endorsement anyone wants,” he laughs. “If you ask who the most influential endorsers are, Palin is numbers one, two, and three, with maybe Sen. Jim DeMint at four. Her endorsement is the only one that matters this year. Just look at what she did for Nikki Haley.”

What about Romney, the man Santorum supported in the 2008 presidential campaign? “No offense to Mitt, but he doesn’t carry the weight,” Santorum says. “Mitt can help you with some finance people, maybe in some small way, but his pull is insignificant compared to Palin’s.”

[boycott]

Palin may have gotten it right on some but she damn sure blew it in Alabama.

The guy she endorsed here was the biggest buffoon in the race.

I could look at the candidates websites and sort of tell you which ones I would endorse. It’s not that difficult. Obviously, she didn’t know most of these folks.

[SoConPubbie]

Can you say “Jealous”!

[CharlesWayneCT]

You have to wonder about so-called “conservatives” who actually get upset that someone gives the preferred conservative candidate $42,000 to win their election.

But some people are just very deranged.

[MozarkDawg]

This is always said, and by some who provide endorsements themselves, by people who are on the losing side of the argument. It's the same take as "Polls don't really mean anything, the only poll that matters is the one taken on Election Day" line -- that usually offered by someone who was riding high in 'em and has had a steep drop for one reason or another.

If endorsements didn't matter, they wouldn't still be made or requested.

[ReneeLynn]

“Endorsements are nice, but Governor Romney understands that money wins elections,” Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom told POLITICO.”

Hmm, sounds like Mitt has a plan for 2012. I don’t trust the GOP not to go for it. At this point Obama is so low they might think that even Mitt could get elected AND bring all that money with him. God save us from this mindset, we need a true conservative leader. Not another Pres__ent.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Willard Myth Romney would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as POTUS nominee!
