TPM.tv (Josh Marshall) said today that Romney has decided not to buy any more ad time in Super Tuesday states, which -- to Marshall -- suggests that Romney knows the writing is on the wall.

If the "highlights" of last night's debate that TPM.tv showed are representative, Romney sounded terrible: Resigned and beaten. I've never seen him fumble over words before. And he stumbled at the precise time that he needed to be strong (when he was asked if McCain's claim that Romney favored a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq was accurate).

An example of the weird dynamics at work -- at RedState they're asking everyone to stop with the nasty racist comments like 'Juan McCain'.

wolf blitzer will be the debate moderator tonight. ugh.

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 31 January 2008 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link

he can't even moderate the volume of his own voice.

I'm just gonna take credit for calling this months ago - Romney should have had this thing on paper, but his fatal flaw was that he's a dilettante in the game - he sorta sucks at politics compared to the guys who've been doing this for most of their lives.

I still harbor hope that hair like Romney's will be appreciated by the Republican electorate.

I just want to point out that I have been OTM throughout this thread

The comments on that Red State thread are kind of telling:

"John McCain cares more about the good opinion of the Hispanic community and/or foreigners than he does Americans and America's best interest."

I was on here in '95 telling you all that Clinton would in fact be re-elected.

Obama is most liberal senator in 2007 - http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/

I have another prediction: On November 4th, 2008, the voting process will not go as smoothly as it ought to. There will be recounts and challenges to recounts. There will be claims of suppressing the vote and counter-claims of voter fraud.

I've been wondering ('wondering') what Moynihan would be doing were he still alive, and today his widow endorsed Barack.

"Question on: Social Issues
Do you read the funnies in the news paper? If not why not? I ask this because it can give you a look at what people are thinking and going though in the country. Even if it is in some what offbeat way"
