Learn to love Romneycare

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 31, 2012 43 Comments

Of course, it takes a publication like Mother Jones to pull this stuff up, but it hasn't received a lot of attention since it was published in October. There's a curious reference to Teddy having to work in Washington in order for Massachusetts to pass Romneycare. It hasn't come up much,...

Diagnosis, please

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 31, 2012 64 Comments

Tweet from DrewMTips, a Newt supporter, who contributes to AceOfSpadesHQ and his own blog: Here was my response: Correct diagnosis? Update 4:10 p.m.: I think this may be more of a concern than Romney hatred, people who became active in politics since the election of Obama who look at Romney...

Pre-Florida end of world stuff

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 31, 2012 26 Comments

The world will end tonight, but just before that, consider: Both Romney and Newt are getting trounced by Obama in the latest Rasmussen survey. Romney has an electability problem. Why do you hate capitalism? You mean there's actually good news for Newt even if he loses Florida? Final PPP poll finds...

Romney poisoned the well

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 31, 2012 65 Comments

There is a trend developing to assign equal blame to the poisoned atmosphere in the Republican campaign, as if there were no cause just effect. I'm not going to allow history to be rewritten the way the Romney campaign and its supporters tried to rewrite the history...

It’s not about Newt

Michael Reagan, in this interview with Mark Levin, shoots down the smears spread by the Romney campaign and its supporters regarding Newt and Ronald Reagan. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Lord has another great piece, Newt Battles Mush From the Wimps (h/t jiminsocal in the Tip Line): The war between conservatives and...

Allen West at the Revolution

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 30, 2012 27 Comments

I have this video posted on the Focus Page, but it's worth bringing forward in light of the redistricting approved by Republican leadership in the Florida legislature which will make it hard for West to get reelected, and the SuperPAC formed to target West and 9 other Tea Party...

A vote tomorrow for Santorum still is a vote for Romney

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 30, 2012 76 Comments

I'm sure this headline drives Santorum supporters wild, and I understand why. If the roles were reversed, I would feel the same way. But sometimes reality is what it is. Both Newt and Santorum have said they will soldier on indefinitely and I don't doubt their...

Florida redistricting looking even worse

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 30, 2012 29 Comments

I posted the other day about how Allen West was getting hurt in the Florida redistricting. I linked to the Shark Tank, a Florida blog, which gave background going back several months about how Allen West was being targeted for unusually harsh treatment by fellow Republicans...

A dolphin could be Romney’s undoing

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 30, 2012 48 Comments

I saw the link to this circulated on Twitter. I assume this is by a pro-Newt entity, but it just as easily could be the Democrats' theme for the general election. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the sound of the dolphin may...

Dem SuperPAC targeting “Tea Party 10”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 30, 2012 13 Comments

A Democratic SuperPAC just made my job of identifying House members to support as part of Operation Counterweight a whole lot easier. The new SuperPAC will target 10 Tea Party congressmen, six of whom have been identified with four to be named, via HuffPo (h/t @JazzShaw): A liberal...

Money can’t buy Mitt the general election

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 30, 2012 62 Comments

Mitt Romney "surges" when he and his SuperPAC outspend rivals on negative ads several times over. In Florida he has outspent Newt by $12 million, and it is showing up in the polls. Mark Levin made a good point yesterday as to why Romney outspending Republican...

How did they justify Obamacare at the time? (you know the answer)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 30, 2012 21 Comments

Here is a video compilation of how Democratic tallking heads justified Obamacare at the time of the vote in the House on the reconciliation bill (h/t CWLsun in Tip Line). It's the same way they will justify it in this election cycle. (Warning: Sound volume uneven) Update: This also is...
