Mitt Romney Tag

The Romney campaign has been sending representatives to Newt rallies in the hope of distracting media attention away from Newt. I think it's a silly ploy which reflects a campaign that can only gain ground by attacking and disrupting others. But why is rising star Jason Chaffetz participating...

What is going on in the Republican Party? Mike Huckabee claims that Newt is using a clip from Huckabee in 2008 out of context because Huckabee was not referring to Mitt Romney, but in fact Huckabee obviously was referring to Romney. Here's the video of Huckabee voicing...

The Nancy Reagan video I posted the other day now has over 18,000 views on YouTube, was uploaded or linked at Real Clear Politics, Daily Caller, Breitbart TV and dozens of other websites, mentioned by Rush and Hannity, and at the debate. Drudge may try to control the...

I have been pounding the keyboard all week about the lies and distortions of the Romney campaign and supporters about Newt's record of support for Ronald Reagan. These allegations were played out by the Romney campaign and on Drudge, and did serious damage to Newt, both...

Whatever my criticisms of Rick Santorum, we owe him a debt of gratitude for this segment last night, which confirmed that Mitt Romney loves him some Romneycare: As Jeffrey Anderson writes, Romney's defense of Romneycare will be political death in the general election: Romney then replied by issuing...

I read the analysis below, and then I look at the hyperbolic rhetoric about how Mitt Romney is the most electable and Newt must be destroyed, and I just shake my head in disbelief. Via James Pethokoukis: It’s one thing when Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum say...

Mitt Romney's key debate line of late is that Newt resigned in disgrace over ethics charges. It's even featured in the most recent Romney advertisement (not his SuperPAC) running in Florida. I posted links the other day showing that the charges against Newt were political and that...

Why is he doing this? Is his campaign really that incompetent? Having successfully shut down scrutiny in the primaries (but not the general election) of his Bain record with unfounded cries of "Newt's attacking capitalism and free markets," Romney is back to what started it all, the demand...

Mitt Romney's campaign is in trouble.  The trouble is not just the South Carolina vote count.  Romney's internal polling almost certainly also showed that he was behind in Florida, as public polling released today reflects. More worrisome for Romney is a growing chorus of doubters within the...

It's really no surprise. As Mitt Romney has faltered from inevitability to modest favorite, a chorus of pro-Romney voices in the media and Republican Party is insisting that if Newt is the nominee, we not only lose the presidency we also lose the House and...

From the kind folks at BuzzFeed Politics, A Message For Mitt Romney  (bold in original): Today Mitt Romney left reporters from online outlets (The Huffington Post, Politico, and BuzzFeed) off of his campaign plane. We thought we'd provide a friendly reminder to Governor Romney and his...

Rick Santorum disqualified himself last night at the debate by his response to John King's question to Newt about the ABC News interview with Newt's ex-wife. The issue was more than just another issue, whether it was the Newt-Freddie consulting, Romney's tax returns, or Santorum's election...

I was wondering when someone would bring out the Mike Huckabee line from the 2008 campaign, when he was attacked by Romney much the way Romney attacked Newt in this election cycle. Romney always starts it.  He did it in Iowa in December 2007 against Huckabee...

There's a whole lot of punditry who have been singing the inevitability of Mitt Romney because for the first time in history a single candidate won both Iowa and New Hampshire in an open race.  The narrative was stupid -- because on election night Romney...

More Romney campaign theater of the absurd. The Romney campaign must know that Newt is surging in South Carolina: "There are some increasing signs -- though all of it anecdotal for now -- that Newt Gingrich is gaining some momentum three days before the South Carolina primary. First...
