I had no idea this was going to turn out so well for president Obama's re-election chances.
Or that the Right would tank like the Titanic.
All good. :-)

I fully expect to hear Newt will take 'a few days rest' while he frantically completes his autobiography and rushes it to the presses to fulfill the real aim of his 'presidential campaign' after all.

Laguna - 'Which Romney will govern in the highly unlikely event that he is elected?'
This is exactly what poster Ben needs to answer.

I don't think I'd be too happy if I was Mitt.
Polling stats show he got a total of 768,118 votes, but the others combined got 866,769 votes.
Most of the voters in Florida rejected him, even with all the money he spent.
I think I'd be really worried about what will happen in Nov if I was him. If it had only been Romney and Gingrich, Romney would have lost by 98,651. That's not a good night imo.
Also, polling stats show women 'abandoned' Newt. Could that be reflective of the way he abandoned his first 2 wives, or perhaps because most women can't warm to the idea of living with him in his moon colony??
Only history will tell.

Sail, I guess it's back to the drawing boad for you to come up with yet another way to attack a president who is trying to make the environment for all Americans just that little bit healthier.
'Patriotism' means different things to different people, it seems. :-)

Nice one Sail. You pulled Solyndra out of the bag last week too, seemingly trying to hint that making no investment in an energy source that can produce a cleaner environment for you and your family is somehow better than being bold and trying it while realizing full well that to expect 100% perfect results is not a trait of those living in the real world.

Ben, it looks like again you are missing the key point.
If Romney had changed his views on 1-2 key/critical issues, his policy record probably would not be so problematic as it is.
It's the fact that he has changed direction on a whole host of issues - a level of inconsistency that for Romney is not occasional but reflective of a normal and regular trait - that is the key issue.
Ben - 'BTW, I don't really care about complaints by self-serving conservatives who seem to have suddenly decided they don't like success or capitalism.'
Did someone claim you did?

Looks like for Gingrich, toast now means way more than just the thing that pops out of a toaster. :-)

Ben, BTW, I appreciate you asking for detail, but the detail is not, I believe, the point at all.
The point is the overall picture of Romney's ever-changing policy positions and statements.
In one of the recent debates, he actually quoted an angle from a SuperPac attack ad that only seconds before he had claimed not to have seen.
If that didn't set alarms bells off, I wonder what will?

Ben - 'What specific policies changes are you talking about?'
The ones I listed in my last post. The same ones that even conservatives have been bashing him for.
Perhaps you need to do a little research on the man before you place (or misplace) your trust and your vote.
Re: My 'problem' with Mitt's stance on healthcare - that's not the issue - the issue is that Mitt has a history that is littered with policy reversals.
If he didn't, he may well have had a very good chance of becoming the next president.
But as it stands, he doesn't stand in any one place for long at all.
Which is, clearly, the problem.

Ben, you think Romney is a very serious candidate?
Have you looked at his past policy positions?
He has switched masks on abortion, climate change, health insurance, DADT, flat taxes, gay rights, Massachusetts healthcare, the Constitutional amendment defining life, and more.
It clearly seems he doesn't even take his own views seriously.
If a car mechanic looked at your car and said 'the oil is leaking. No, hang on, the carburettor's broken. Just wait, no, it's the oil,' and then 5 minutes later 'on second thoughts, it's the carburettor after all.'
Would you want him to fix your engine?
And that's precisely why millions of America s don't want him to fix America.

Looks like Romney's bagged this one, erghr.....got this one in the bag.
Almost a turnaround from the SC result.
Well I guess we can only wait until next week to see how much further the GOP and their conservative 'supporters' can plunge into the lunatic twilight zone that apparently exists somewhere between the Beltway and 1800 Pensylvania Ave.

Lol! Thanks Truth. :-)
I was watching Colbert last night. About the only difference between Stephen Colbert and these conservative presidential candidates that I can see is that Colbert actually knows he's a comedian.

Buckled in and looking forward to yet another day of fact-free fueled hilarity from conservative candidates, their handlers and supporters as they continue to insist that black is white, up is down and lying is honorable except when the other guy tells the same lies.
Can someone please post a link to the GOP Comedy Fund so that as a foreigner I can make a huge anonymous donation to influence the U.S. presidential election without anyone learning my identity - using the system most conservative politicians loudly supported?
Thank you and God bless America! :-)

BAM! That was the starter gun ladies and gentlemen for this 2012 American Presidental Clown Nomination Classic, and it’s not even 9am here in Japan and over there on the outside Newt is off to a powerful start on the first straight wow she’s got legs has that one, and chasing Newt on the inside is Elite Mitt, last year’s winner and this year’s clear favorite and still has the pace. ……coming up to the first bend and ladies and gentlemen Newt is digging his feet into that turf. Our trackside commentators just told us Newt and Mitt are already trading accusations over character, consistency, leadership in this final day before Florida’s critical primary race. Now coming around the first bend Newt is moving into the front-runner position and is already complaining that Elite Mitt is carpet-bombing his arse with negative ads, but Elite Mitt is behind and she’s not letting up ladies and gentlemen have you seen tenacity like that - but will it last because we all know this is going to be a long race that might even last right to the end.
Now coming into the final straight and Newt is only a nose ahead while Elite Mitt is firing off accusations that the upstart from Pennsylvania is pro-abortion, pro-gun-control, and a pro-tax-increase race horse, but that might not be enough. In the last race, the pundits said Elite Mitt has difficulty winning over many supporters who questioned his conservative credentials given his shifting views on abortion, gay rights and gun control, but – WHAT! Oh no ladies and gentlemen Elite Mitt is pulling out all the stops and whipping Newt with a SuperPac CarpetBomb! I cannot believe it! Is this allowed ladies and gentlemen, it may not even matter because now Newt is falling behind and yes – WHAT! Both horses are on their noses, yes, Elite Mitt and Newt have both crashed through the barrier and are out of this race. Well that’s it ladies and gentlemen this race is over and there is no winner, sorry and see you next year.

DS, sorry pal. You've got it around the wrong way: you can't spend what you don't earn or acquire first. Unless you're a government of course.

Rick thinks women should not have the right to choose whether to have an abortion.
Rick thinks women - even those who have been raped - should be forced to keep the child.
Rick wants to peer so far into people's bedrooms that he wants to ban sodomy.
3 reasons alone why Rick should never be given power
Rick: strong on social issues but how does that create jobs?

Yeah but Madverts, you've got to remember the GOP 'base' (that's a noun and an adjective) was bigger then.
Since bush, they've spent the last 3 and a bit years cleaning house marginalizing, alienating and devising their own moderates.
Actions like that don't happen without blowback.
Heh, when it comes.to this GOP's strategy, the question is what strategy?
Buckled into my armchair looking forward to even more GOP-sponsored lunacy tomorrow. :-)

I think the pressure is off now.
There's next to no way the Repubs are going to win with these 2 guys.
