....If Romney can't win, he'll be certain that the person who beat him is so damaged, so beaten up by his negative campaign ads that they will have no chance against Obama. Unfortunately for Republicans, it creates a lose-lose situation.
Mitt Romney cannot defeat Obama. His flipping and flopping is well documented and will be highlighted by the Obama campaign as the signature of one with a lack of character. He is such a poor speaker in interviews that he attempted to appeal to the middle class by trying to bet Rick Perry $10,000 and later saying that, “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I’ll fix it.”
If something is not a concern, it won't be fixed.
The statement was not intended to downplay the troubles of the unfortunate in America, nor was his bet with Rick Perry an attempt to point out that he has the ability to offer 3-months of an average worker's salary on a whimsical wager. His intended meanings are likely (relatively) pure but his inability to stop putting his foot in his mouth will get him demolished against Obama's buzz machine.
They won't have to destroy Romney. They just have to wait around long enough for him to destroy himself.
Leading up to the next primaries, Romney's team will go on the offensive against Santorum. If Paul or Gingrich make up ground, he will attack them as well. He does not have enough good ideas to lift himself as the rightful Republican candidate, so he's trying to destroy everyone else to make himself the reluctant choice by default.

obama is the kettle calling romney black. Obama have flip flopped and lied on more issues than romney
That will make a great bumper sticker./S
Well, romney can’t call obama black....OH WAIT!
Romney is anti-conservative, anti-Republican, even anti-American, or at least in the way and for the reasons that we like America.
Romney has an internal agenda that has been shaped by his family's anti-American Mormon history, and by his own Mormonism as a leader in the religion. None of us know why he wants to be president, I think we all know that the Senate race and the governor term were merely to be a step to the Presidency, a perfunctory step to his destiny, and we don't see any connection between him, and any destiny for America that could depend on him, at least that we want to know about.
Some of that unease that America feels with Mitt, is a sense that something is going on in there that isn't good for us, something which we would not like, there is a faint, almost imperceptible sense of a darkness in Mitt Romney, a cold, total, absolute focus on his own internal purpose, which is unknowable to us and is separate from ours and our nations.
U B RACIST !!!!!!!!!
Well, our guys (Republicans) always seem to be in a self destruct mode.
If I still lived in the new USSA, I am not sure if I could take it.
The GOP-Establishment never considered the base when selecting Romney (more like dismissed them), as they believe he needs to appeal to those who want government just like it is.
There now is a bit of unauthentic -— “severely” conservative parsing passing from Romney’s lips but it is so obviously pap for the uninformed.

McCain destroyed the Republican Party.
Did you miss the 2010 election, one of the most successful in conservative history?
Conservatives should take over the Republican party. Vote. Vote for every conservative you can find down to dog-catcher. The 2010 elections continued that process.
Tin foil hat alert.
That seems to be your repeated post for things over your head.
I think Republican party considers 2012 a wash. The problems of 2012 will be so huge that whoever is in power at the time will be blamed for many things. The Republicans are trying to avoid the blame when it comes.
I think to a great extent, they are looking at 2016. They think the population will be screaming for solutions at that point and the Republicans will give them those solutions then. To try and solve them in 2012 won’t work, because the population in general don’t think the problems are all that serious and if the Republicans do what Greece is doing, they could find themselves blamed for cutting back entitlements and raising taxes and find themselves out of power permanently, while a resurgent Democratic party gets all the credit (and you know the media will everything to blame the Reps and laud the Dems) for solving the problems and did nothing to solve those problems.
I’m seeing the Federal Liberal party playbook being played all over again.
Well, we now have the worst and most destructive POTUS in American history, and THIS is the best we can do?
I cry for America, as it sinks like the Titanic.

Romney is going to shell Newt in Georgia for 2 weeks. Time to send money to Newt.
....”A super PAC supporting former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on Friday purchased nearly $1 million worth of television advertising time in Georgia for spots to run the final two weeks of the campaign, beginning Tuesday.
The size of the buy, paid for by the Restore Our Future political action committee, is considered moderate, although it’s the largest splurge the state has seen in the presidential primary.”...

Just like Obama cannot run on his record.
