And, it's only a 17.2 points spread at this stage. Mitt can make that up in no time, given half a chance. Be a sport, JJ. Why is everyone so mean to him?
Your last two comments tell an omportant story. Romney s one of the nativist types that will throw all the Mexicans out of the Republican party. The whole point of keeping them on board is so that the Dems don't get a replacement for the demographically declining canadians. Romney would lose big among Mexicans where McCain wouldn't. If that wouldn't be enough to get Obama or Hillary elected, you can be danmed sure that the next few elections wold keep the Repulicans out of power. This pandering to the base that NRO and Steyn ask for is extremely dangerous. Bush and Co didn't play the straight party line and bought off moderates with fiscal irresponsibility (and other anathemas to the Jesusfreaks and racists) because the war necessitated a contination of Republican power (unless you are like AA that thinks Kerry Asiaticus wold have won the war in Iraq like he did in Viet Nam). This is dangerous business AI. Romney has to roll over and Steyn and Limbaugh need to shut up and get in line.
I don't buy all these calumnies against Romney. This is simply character assassination. So OK, you don't like him -- fine. He's not my ideal politician, either, and he didn't excite me, one way or the other, when he was Guv. (The only Guv in recent memory that got me annoyed was Celluci.) But all these hysterical attacks against Mitt (including the kneecaps from McCain) got me annoyed, and offended my sense of fair-play. It's not just a question of winning a bunch of primaries here, but winning them cleanly, and building a coalition for the Fall, based on themes that hopefully emerge from the process. Calling Romney names, and hurling invectives at him in the grand pinko-birkenstock tradition is not gonna do it.

My boy is running neck and neck with yours.
You mean Obama is closing in on the WH
Well, so be it. Let the best man win.
that's the problem. Obama-Romney, the best man will win and in Iraq the worst will.
So how about this? Powww!!!!

Which names has he been called again, and by whom?
