“Never get into a wrestling match with a pig. You both get
dirty, and the pig likes it.” – John McCain on Mitt Romney
Rudy sucks. The longer he’s in Florida the faster his polls numbers drop. Hey, but I wouldn’t count him out.
McCain wants to show Slick Mitt as a flip flopper. If he can get a word in
on national security it will help. But the precarious economy weighs heavily in Slick Mitt’s favor.
Romney, meanwhile, is well on his way to buying the nomination. After all, we are talking about Republicans here. Wingnut radio is in his camp.
Huckabee is angling for vice president.
The rest doesn’t matter. Except that in Florida, it’s Republicans and only Republicans; no independents to help McCain.
9:31: So far, McCain rebutted the I’m stupid on the economy. Romney thinks entitlements are the problem, but he’s the dumbest white man I’ve ever heard on national security. Rudy is just sad. But they’re all back to attacking Hillary. … .. Oh, and Romney said he won’t trust “General Hillary Clinton.”
When Russert mentioned that 6 in 10 Americans didn’t think going after Saddam was worth it, the audience started to applause, until Russert stopped it. McCain says again, Russert was a screw up, “Now we are succeeding.”
9:36: Ron Paul, “It was a bad idea and wasn’t worth it.”
Ho-boy, Huckabee just thanked Bush for the Iraq war.
9:49: Slick Mitt is winning the Casting of the Presidency award so far.
McCain wants more “sunshine” on economic. Hell, could we get any less? Also throws in Jack Kemp and all endorsements proving he’s not an idiot on the economy, as he said earlier. Paul Krugman:
“The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should,” (Senator John McCain) says. “I’ve got Greenspan’s book.”
9:54: Huck corners Slick Mitt on guns. Romney answers he supports the right for anyone to kill varmints.
Republicans weigh in. Quite entertaining, actually.
10:08: Rudy as the New York Giants! He’s lulled his opponents into a false sense of security. Somewhere over the rainbow…
McCain and his mom, the latter saying the GOP will have to hold their nose to vote for her son. “Radical Islamic extremism” will hand him the nomination. State of Israel invoked, always a winner with the conservative base. … “Country above party every single time.”
I really do think Slick Mitt is wearing lip gloss. I swear it. Russert just asked about Slick Mitt running against Bill and Hillary Clinton. At least he had the class to say it’s Hillary in charge. Gets 1 point for that. … .. ARE YOU BUYING FLORIDA? (Yes) I’m using my money in a campaign to change this country. Bug off, Russert. Ho-boy, here comes the Mormon question. Romney doesn’t believe people will vote on his religion. Is that a laugh line?
10:36: Two words: torturous snoozer.
