Jennifer Rubin: Trump endorses egomaniac … Oops

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 02, 2012 71 Comments

Jennifer Rubin, the "right" blogger at The Washington Post and incessant Romney promoter, repeatedly has lashed out at Newt Gingrich with truly vile language unbecoming a writer at a major newspaper. At 9:00 a.m. this morning, when Rubin thought Donald Trump would be endorsing Newt, here is what Rubin...

So tell me about Ted Cruz

I have received numerous e-mails and comments regarding Ted Cruz, running for the Republican nomination for Senate in Texas. (added) Since we're searching for candidates for Operation Counterweight, Cruz is just one of a number of candidates brought to my attention, in addition to Richard...

I warned you. In order to promote the election of Mitt Romney we would have to go through all sorts of philosophical and policy contortions. And here we have ended up, with Romney's most bombastic media supporter, who has not spared a foul word for Newt,...

I feel good

I'm feeling better right now than I did last night. The National Review’s Candidate Won’t Stop Digging Romney Drowns Gingrich and Santorum in Toxic Sludge. Um, how did Rick get in on this act, he's barely been touched. Mitt Romney and the banks. Someone you don't like didn't like...

Romney played class warfare “poorly”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 01, 2012 48 Comments

Mitt Romney had an interview this morning in which he said the following: Romney says, "I'm not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs a repair , I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich...

Mitt’s positive campaign continues

in Nevada with this mailer: Similar mailers have been running for days. I suppose Mitt will tell us that he only is going negative because Newt outspent him in Florida. Who is it that can't be trusted?...

“Romneycare is okay because Romney has the best chance of winning in November”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 01, 2012 50 Comments

That statement, by a Romney supporter on the Mark Levin show, pretty much sums up the problem with the primary season, and the willing disbelief about the problem we face with Romney as the nominee. Here's the full segment, if you want to jump in for...

Apathy will be the legacy of Romney’s carpet bombing

Mitt Romney had a strong win last night in Florida. There's no way to spin it otherwise, just as there was no way to spin Newt's South Carolina win otherwise. But at what cost? Financially the cost was about $17 million for Romney and his SuperPAC, almost...

Florida primary results

Looks like turnout down 200k from 2008. Notice that when Romney ties/wins (IA, NH, FL) no turnout surge, when Newt won in SC huge turnout surge. Turnout will be important in November 2012, and while Romney is winning, he's not motivating new voters to come...

Really, just really

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 31, 2012 51 Comments

Really, just really (emphasis mine): Mitt Romney says he was "outgunned" in South Carolina, blaming attacks from Newt Gingrich for his defeat there earlier this month. "I needed to make sure that instead of being outgunned in terms of attacks, that I responded aggressively — and hopefully that...
