Why Romney ’12 Is Cooked (Part 2,491)
Hellllllllllo Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina mail pieces:
Shiny Glittery First-In-The-Nation Gossip
But first, the caveats! 1. I hate polls. 2. I love gossip, but let’s be honest, 8 times out of 10 gossip turns out to be total bullshit. And the other 2 out of 10 times the gossip gets it about 87% correct. But… I understand from a little bird that there are a series [...]
AP Washington Bureau Chief Ron Fournier Joins Union Leader Publisher Joe McQuaid In Calling Bullshit On Just About Everything That Comes Out Of Mitt Romney’s Mouth
Fournier on Mitt Romney’s recent CPAC speech: Conservatives leapt to their feet when Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney declared Democrats the party of “No!” — no to balanced budgets, limits on lawsuits, tax cuts and tough interrogations of terror suspects. But their applause this week at the Conservative Political Action Conference was for an illusion. [...]
Oh, Mitt Romney Just Spoke At CPAC?
Great! Let’s go to the video: Wait, damnit, that’s not it. Ok, let’s see what the Union Leader had to say about it: ONE of the reasons this newspaper has endorsed U.S. Sen. John McCain over former Gov. Mitt Romney has become clearer in recent days: When the campaigning gets serious and the gloves come [...]

Well Of Course New Hampshire Is Hot Shit…
First-In-The-Nation, baby! True grassroots, baby! 2012, baby! Believe it.
Why New Hampshire’s First-In-The-Nation Primary Will Be Just As Important In 2012 As It Was In 2008
First, because New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner is The Man. Second, because there is no credible path to victory in the 2012 Republican Presidential Primary for a Tim Pawlenty/Mitt Romney/another anti-Palin candidate to be named later that doesn’t include a WIN! in NH’s First-In-The-Nation Primary. Roaring into South Carolina, there can probably only [...]
“We Are Honestly Partisan Here”
Give Blue Hampshire credit where credit is due – they are crystal clear about their agenda. In the New Hampshire new media spin wars, Blue Hampshire’s openness about who they are and who they support makes them a much more credible and powerful voice. By being open about their agenda, the focus of Blue Hampshire’s [...]

Absolutely perhaps. Or something like that. The Republican Party could do far, far worse.
