Lee Benson on Mitt
Interesting column:
http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695251301,00.html I have to agree with Lee. We will always wonder what would have happened had Mitt not tried to re-invent himself as a conservative and sell his soul to the far right.

The fact that his two most significant endorsements were Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh says all you need to know.
Mitt Romney was the most hated man among his competitors. And the sad thing is that he probably has no idea why. |

He was too bland for the media. He by far is the most accomplished candidate running on more than just being political. What have any of them done, except McCain's military career, outside of politics. |

LOL, hard to take this guy seriously. "King of the moderates"? "Fading virulent talk-show superstars"? Heh, right.
Whatever Romney's mistakes, I'm glad he didn't take advice from guys like this.

1. I don't think the "old" Romney would've gotten anywhere close to where "today's" Romney got. 2. I agree with Peggy Noonan ... a man gets to change his political positions if he chooses. Once. 3. The flip-flop label was way overplayed, mostly by bitter John Kerry fans. I believed his conversion was sincere, others didn't. *shrug* That's the breaks. Now he has a chance to establish his bone fides if he wishes.

The part that I really love, I mean really love, is how Mitt lost because of his Tancredo-beliefs.
Damn, that is some poetic justice. And I don't think Mitt believed any of it either. |

I bet this issue was actually a net positive for Mitt. The only miscalculation may have been that it wasn't as big an issue as he and his team might have expected. Hard numbers show that in most states Mitt and Huck, both espousing similar views on illegal immigration, out-polled McCain. Add in Ron Paul, a real Nazi on this issue, and it's a landslide.

McCain being the GOP front runner has now officially cemented that either Billary or Barack will be the next Commander in Chief.
My guess is this time next year with the momentum he's gaining....we'll be seeing Barack's inauguration. But in January of course.
