After Romney’s Performance in Interview with Hannity, I Like Him Much More
Is THIS “The Ticket”?
We came out with our picks for the Republican Nomination on November 4, and a lot has happened since then. While I do not hold the allegations of “sexual harassment” as even possible for Herman Cain, his string of gaffes just brought me back to reality. The “Taliban” in Libya was really the last straw to me. It showed me he has not real understanding of the Middle East, and cannot possibly be ready in time for a Fall campaign against Barack Obama.
I was more impressed lately with Mitt Romney. My reasons for discounting him before was that he has held many different positions on many different issues. I have not trusted his conservative credentials. To say he was a “flip-flopper” seemed to be an understatement. I have to give it to him following his interview on Hannity’s Fox News show. Clearly he has a grasp of every major issue.
I particularly liked how he was able to frame almost every issue back to Obama. He had one great answer where he highlighted all of the failures of the Obama administration in a matter of a minute or two. I could see him looking over at Obama in a debate and spitting some of that save verbiage out and seeing where our current “Commander-In-Chief” runs with it. More than likely he would run off stage in shame, and start looking for a home to move into in the suburbs of Chicago starting on January 20, 2013, just hours after being put in the ejection seat of history. Like Jimmy Carter was.
I am now between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney on the GOP Nomination. I think Mitt may be more likely to win. I think the attacks on Newt will likely pick up, and then we will see what he is made of. I tuned into a few minutes of MSNBC yesterday to hear the fully repudiated take on Newt Gingrich serving divorce papers bedside with a cancer-stricken wife. It was said to be accurate, no matter what what Gingrich says now. ’Unnamed sources’ told the reporter, and he stuck by those sources. I am not sure which of Matthews ‘unbiased’ minions it was, but the partly line was held to. Of course that is the Democrat Party Line.
So Newt is under attack. Then I see this on NPR and other places about Romney:
NPR: Romney’s Gubernatorial Aides Bought Their Gov’t Hard Drives, Raising Eyebrows (See here if you must)
My take: Smart thinking for Romney and his team.
They KNOW that the cut-throat world of politics favorite thing to do is to search hard drives and emails. Taking those out of circulation is great. It kills the left’s chance to launch a “search and destroy” mission.
I always take and destroy the hard drive in any computer I put aside. Even an old laptop. If I cannot satisfactorly wipe it clean, I hammer it clean. What Romney and his crew did was logical. Considering that the ultra liberal Deval Patrick assumed the Office of Governor for Massachusetts in 2007, why would he not wipe it all clean?
My current picks: NEWT & MITT. One will likely get it.
