34 states? Since we have exactly 23 states left to vote in the primary, it sounds like he's using the Obama math, because that makes 57 states exactly.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush endorsed Mitt Romney after Romney’s lopsided win in Illinois Tuesday night. The former Florida Governor – a Republican heavyweight – called on members of the party to coalesce behind Romney.
“Congratulations to Governor Mitt Romney on his win last night and to all the candidates for a hard fought, thoughtful debate and primary season,” said Bush in a statement. “Primary elections have been held in thirty-four states, and now is the time for Republicans to unite behind Governor Romney and take our message of fiscal conservatism and job creation to all voters this fall. I am endorsing Mitt Romney for our Party’s nomination. We face huge challenges, and we need a leader who understands the economy, recognizes more government regulation is not the answer, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism and works to ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to succeed.”

For me like being kissed by Don Corleone.
No great surprise there, we knew the Bush’s would go along with the establishment.
Romney sucks so they love him.
Tah Dah!
Now I can sleep easy tonight.
So does Glenn Beck.
Of course he is actually for Santorum though...ahem. Wanna buy my bridge?
But if Newt was the nominee, he wouldn’t vote.
Who remembers the picture taken in February of Bush 41 and Jeb yucking it up with the evil bastard in the Oval Office?
Sickening.
Sure they want Romney.
The bushes want Romney so he’ll lose and leave a clear path to WH fro Jeb in 2016. Priveleged buffoons.

How could a candidate with the charisma of Michael Dukakis, the likability of John Kerry, the natural warmth of Richard Nixon, the honesty of Bill Clinton, the populist appeal of Thurston Howell, III, the socialist leanings of Barack Obama and who practices the weirdest religion outside of Scientology lose? A candidate like that just screams electability.
The Problem as I see it with Romney is that he will be such a mediocre President that even if he does win he will be so middle of the road as to “not upset the apple cart” that the economy will not bloom and then in 4 years it will assure that the democrats take back power on the whole meme that the “economy didn’t recover”.
Not to mention any GOP president is going to be so damned hated no matter how “moderate” they are. Mittens will get so damned gun shy that he will be ineffective and the MSM and the Democrat controlled media will smell blood and keep attacking him even as he retreats and this will paralyze him to what needs to be done to restore the economy and defuse all of Obama’s horrible regulatory actions.
Newt is going to be hated like hell anyways and HE KNOWS THAT, but he also knows that he will have the people who put him there behind even if the Media doesn’t paint it that way every night at 5:00pm.
So therefore, Newt (who thrives on antagonism instead of flinching from it) will take the bold measures to recover the economy despite being thrashed every night on the MSM news channels. In Four years the MSM will be flabbergasted like their were on election night in 1984, because the man on the street will notice the economy improvement.
Mitt is a Flincher, Newt is a Clincher
Definition of a Clincher:
a decisive fact, argument, act, or remark
Definition of a Flincher:
to withdraw or shrink from or as if from pain
We are so SOL if Either Mittens gets in or Barry gets a second term.
Mittens would only slow things down and then in four years the GOP would be blamed so much but with little to show we would still be in an economic malaise the likes of Carter’s worst dreams. This would GUARANTEE a Democrat Victory over the house the senate and even the presidency in 2016. They would not be pulling any punches as they would run someone that would make Obama look like a middle of the road moderate. Because they know they would have a very good chance of winning. Not to mention the class warfare game that could be played to Bolshevik conclusion during that election if we get Romney and mediocre performance out of him which is very much likely.
Of course Obama winning would be a very much “nothing to lose” second term that would see him likely either completely destroying the economy so badly that they play the game of “Destroy and Support” in that they would destroy the economy and then support the people as the “great savior” thus ensuring either “Glorious Revolution” or the mass construction project of making millions more so dependent that they will have a permanent grip on power that would only come undone with Blood sweat and tears, but mostly Blood and Tears.
ABO and ABR, because we really need Newt or maybe Santorum if we get desperate, heck I would even take, heaven forbid (I can’t believe I am saying this), Ron Paul over Romney for the reasons above.
So I repeat once more: Newt is the Clincher, and Mitt is the Flincher.
Not only does Romney’s “coronation” get rid of the Tea Party and “conservatives” for Rove and his GOP-E Country Club Status Quo bunch, it helps the dems keep the continuity of their “schtick”.
Obama and Romney are IDENTICAL politically, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the VERY important decision on permanently totally repealing Obamacare.
Obama can counter every political Romney arguement with “I know YOU are, but what am I” and clobber him over the head HARD with the 99% crap that he’s a 1%’er.
Geeee....that only leaves ONE “itty - bitty” difference.
Wanna guess what THAT is??????
Try “skin pigmentation”.
It worked for Obama BIG TIME in 2008. Romney is the ONLY candidate they can REALLY use it on because they are identical in almost every other way.
Romney WON'T attack Obama like he has Newt, because they will pin the "racist" tag on him so fast that his head will spin faster that his political flip-flops.
So Myth will "play nice" with Obama, he'll try to get everyone to sing "America The Beautiful" ( the fake crap he seemed to be doing at ALL his Florida stops) and get KILLED in Nov, as is the GOP-e"plan" , except Romney AND Rick don't seem to see it......YET.
Santorum WILL be "handed" the VP slot (as his "reward" for helping Romney AND Rove in taking out Newt,) to "shut up" the "Santorum" and Tea Party "Conservative" people and with Romney's defeat, ensure Santorum won't be a "problem" to Rove and the GOP-E EVER AGAIN. With the Tea Party out of the way of BOTH parties for 2012 and 2016, Romney out of the way for 2012 AND 2016, the dems TOTALLY despised after 8 years of Obama, Rove and “the boys” can run Jeb for 2016 with NOBODY in their way.
It's a "two-fer" that helps the dems AND the GOP-E continue "business-as-usual".
OBTW, The pic below was taken Friday afternoon Jan27th, 2012 , the day after "Bloody-Up Newt" Thursday by every GOP-E Country Clubber in this particular corner of the universe.
How many photos of those three together have YOU seen??
Pretty much ALL the polls earlier in the week had Newt leading in Florida, until the "suddenly" orchestrated GOP-E Newt attack which culminated Thursday before the debate, and THEN on Friday, I see THIS photo??
What in the heck could the three of them "constructively" have important enough in common to "get together" and talk about??
Maybe Barry just wanted to ask them over to find out how "W" was doin', you know, the son and brother of the two guys in the pic who he STILL TO THIS MINUTE blames EVERYTHING bad that has happened to date in his administration on and two years before he replaced him in office???
Yeah, that's the ticket.
I have an idea, and I mentioned it in the post above the pic..
Newt and Sarah have been TRYING to warn the Tea Party and Conservatives about this BIG TIME!!
(Sorry all, but my Reynolds Wrap cap dang near fell off when I first saw the pic.)
Kissinger promised China Jeb Bush would be the next president.
BREAKING NEWS! FAT BOY ENDORSES HOLOGRAM, VOWS SUPPORT! TERRI SCHIAVO OFFERS NO COMMENT!
I’m voting for the GOP nominee in November. No matter who it is I’m not going to be 100% in agreement with the candidate but I am not willing to be an enabler for another four years of the current president.
Barf alert.
I understand that I won't agree with any candidate 100%, but on the other hand, I won't vote for Obama-lite. One has to draw a line somewhere. If Republicans nominated Hillary, I wouldn't vote for her either, despite her also being slightly to the right of Obama.
I'd have voted for either Santorum or Gingrich, despite their specific flaws. But the Republicans can count me out for Romney. His record is shockingly left; his rhetoric is irrelevant and no more consistent than the president's.
