traditionalguy said...: The underwhelmingness of Mitt Romney is a wonder to behold.

He is like a lifetime best supporting actor who will never get the leading man's role.

Just because the media circus has written off the rest of the candidates as flawed does not change a thing. Mitt still cannot carry a movie or a campaign against the dashing Obama.

Cain remains the only viable conservative in the race.; 11/16/11, 9:18 AM
AllenS said...: I thought, what kind of a name is Mitt? Is it short for something? But what? So, I did a wiki thing and found out that his full name is Willard Mitt Romney.

Here's my slogan:

"Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

"Here, look at the monkey! Look at the silly monkey!

Bruce Hayden said...: Looks like Ann is trying to keep this thread light - but my mind just doesn't work that way. I have never been good at slogans and the like.

Mitt, sounds better than Willard!

The Willard coming from the guy who founded the Mariott chain, and one of Mitt's father's best friends. Some indication that Mitt had a somewhat privileged upbringing.

That said, Ann Coulter was on Fox News last night plugging Romney as the only candidate who could beat Obama. One of her points was that in comparison to the candidates running in 2008, Romney is conservative.

Another of her points was that Romney is the guy who debates well, debate after debate. The rest? We have seen both Perry and Cain blow it, after they got something going. Yes, part of their problem was that the MSM went after them. But, it also shows their unreadiness to go up against the Obama campaign machine. Of course, the MSM saved their ammunition against McCain last time until he had secured the nomination.

But I do think that Coulter has a good point - that Romney has the experience now and skills to keep it together and well organized when the MSM, Dems, and Obama go into full campaign mode, where all stops have been pulled out (as well as credit card verification turned off).; 11/16/11, 12:55 PM

Garage, I usually only laugh at your unintentional comedy. This was a good one, though.

How about if he picks Tim Pawlenty as his running mate? It could be the Mitt-Paw ticket.

Put him at the top of the ticket, and he'll do worse than McCain's draw of 47%.

Better to just give up the litmus paper test ... and think that the conservatives have strong enough numbers to sway an election.

The bad stuff: "Born again. And, "pre-birth." The "pre-birth" amendment just lost in South Carolina!

What do you need to know?

Politicians aren't respected.

Mitt can't win.

The republicans are playing a stupid game.

And, a good hunk of the voters refuse to be labeled either republicans or democrats.

RE-ORGANIZE. Demand Boehner step down ... just for trading on insider information ... Taking legislation he knows is coming. And, betting on big returns.
