The Romney Runaway Race
Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire primary with more than ten points. Congrats to you. I’ve made more than one prediction about Mitt. In one I said why Mitt will run three times. Partly because I predicted he would win the nomination at least 3 months ago. Then I didn’t want him to win.
I have endorsed Obama for a second term. Romney and his family is just too much like a dynasty in the making. And yes I do have reservations about the Mormon invasion. I really do. And not against the religion so much but what precedent this sets for our country. I think Perry and Newt are finished and so is Hunstman and Bachman badly beaten by the guy pack leaving Santorum and Paul. It will be down to these three soon enough. Perry was his own worse enemy. I think he should have never gotten into the race. He was listening to the media and he believed the hype about his chances against Mitt in the anybody but Mitt heyday. Well that day has come and gone and Mitt is gaining momentum.
Can the also-rans knock Mitt off his perch I doubt it. The rich will run this country once again.

Who won GOP debate: Newt does it—again
No one was able to knock Newt off his rhetorical perch. He sits there firmly and did what he had to do. He parrys and he punches back when he was confronted with the 1.6 million dollars he has earned from Fannie Mae and Freddie. He made the right point that Dodd and Frank were sitting in the House, as elected officials when they cleaned the housing clock and set the meltdown timer on its ultimate date with a 2008 destiny.
I think Ron Paul came in as a close second with his answers. Everyone was careful but not safe playing. The answers to questions that ranged from foreign policy to illegal alien verification were well-thought, and no major stumbles like the 10K bet.
At one point Paul even invoked what JFK did with Cuba and Paul said he was in the service at that time and he praised Kennedy’s actions because he avoided war with Russia and Cuba.
But really even Santorum and Perry did themselves a lot of good before the Iowa voting in January. What about Romney who leads hot on the heels of Newt? He was steady eddy and also provided a good debate.
Bachman she just does not do anything for me. She was not bad and I don’t pan her performance but as a congress person she is just out of her league. I don’t think she’s a Sarah Palin. I think Palin in many ways is stronger and more magnetic. Anyway, has a person from congress ever won the presidency? I don’t think so.
Anyway Newt won the night–again.

Will Herman Cain erupt over lurid details?
That what I wonder now. I mean Cain has been run through the political and the media grist mill for his allegations of sexual harrassment. But he won’t be able to live down this new one. I mean this woman, Sharon Bialek, got up at the mike got herself a lawyer Gloria Allred and then the shit hit the fan. This is total damage control mode for Cain. I don’t see him getting past this one.
See my other post for more details. I’ve recorded her session and will provide more details later.
