The fact that Palin is breathing down his neck and she hasn’t even declared tells you that when she does declare, Milt is going to fade into the background like his pink tie.
“Romney Grabs Momentum”? BWahahahahaha!
Earth to Planet Zongo, your connection with reality has been severed ...
I will, indeed, be fascinated to see where this all stands a year from now.
I wish Maine Governor Paul LePage would step in. He’s not afraid to tell Obama where to go.
Romney can grab it and drop it. Don’t want him to run.
No, they are both just pups working off energy.
Heh! Ya' mean to say "what's his name Huntsman" has been a dud and they need to move on with another likely RINO to carry their torch?
Let him run to MA and get some of that "free" health care that HE pushed!
We need SOMEONE to turn the tide in Washington!
Mr Romney is a side show performer.
The Amazing Flex-O. The Man with No Spine.
Oh, that would be sweet. LePage is great.
Both Palin and Perry look like they’ll jump in the race. Imhom the result will be that romney will fade to gingrich numbers quickly and Perry will take romney’s role of the generic republican vs Palin. It will be a great battle.
I first read a glowing account of LePage in the print edition of Forbes Magazine.
I like him too, I’ll forgive him for that “French speaking” business, it wasn’t really his fault, he was young and didn’t know any better (My attempt at humor) and I hope that connection to Snowes’ first husband doesn’t extend too closely to Snowe herself.
Paul LePage is the eldest son of eighteen children. He grew up speaking French in an impoverished home with what he has described as an abusive father.[1] At age eleven, he left home and lived on the streets of Lewiston, seeking shelter wherever he could find it, including in horse stables and at a “strip joint”.[1][2] After spending roughly two years homeless, he began to earn a living shining shoes. At thirteen, he worked washing dishes at a café and hauling boxes for a truck driver. He later worked at a rubber company, a meat-packing plant, and was a short order cook, and bartender.[3]
LePage applied to Husson College in Bangor, but was initially rejected due to a poor verbal score on the SAT, a result of English being his second language. LePage has said that Peter Snowe – the first husband of current U.S. Senator from Maine Olympia Snowe – persuaded Husson to give LePage a written exam in French, which allowed LePage to show his comprehension and be admitted.[3][4] At Husson, LePage improved his English skills and became editor of the college newspaper.[3] He graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration in Finance and Accounting, and later earned a M.B.A. from the University of Maine.

P.S. “Name recognition” is sadly lacking with Paul LePage.
I agree.
See #s 16 & 17.
