2012 republican presidential nominee III: can romney get santorum out of his hair?

no one here thinks this

^^^

The White House doesn't have to sell Morning in America (Reagan had 7% unemployment in '84) -- only Know Hope.

well, context matters - that 7% was a huge drop from a year previous:

7.2 percent gdp growth in 1984. anyone want to bet on whether 2012 is gonna be a year of 7.2 percent gdp growth?? half of that would be a miracle.

just clap yr hands and believe "he is gonna be sooooo liberal in his second term" /clinton96

you gotta be fair morbs I don't hear anybody here making this claim. people did then though for sure but nobody is now, I think even the most ardent Obama supporters don't have illusions about how liberal he's gonna be after NDAA et al

Don't remind timellison.

Romney wins. There you go.

booooooring

Romney's speech very tough on Europe.

Romney running at 54% on Intrade in the general; Europe down to 32%.

Too good to be true--I have to craft the perfect joke for that one. Back in a couple of hours.

11th commandment, 13th, whatever. what's sad is that people still proudly invoke what reagan said. how the fuck people worship him, i have no idea. it's hilarious to think about what would happen if obama tried to invoke an eleventh amendment, and then said the most supremely cynical statement possible.

And Reagan never said it!

eleventh commandment, fuck, whatever. ugh, it's just disgusting

he didn't say "“Thou shall not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”?

oh, someone else said it and then he repeated it like an asshole?

tbf, commandments 11 and 12 are about pokemon in herman's book

He "popularized" it because he was the only GOP satrap who wasn't personally an asshole.

what did romney say about europeÉ

err make that a ?

He went off on some tangent about Obama trying to remake America in the image of his favourite European cities...something like that. And then he went after Europe again towards the end. He's promising to take the fight against Europe to South Carolina and Florida.

If he wins in November, he may have to deal with some of those European people, right?

He said he wanted to do away with liberals who insisted on adding an extra E and accent aigu.

48% of the vote in, and Perry's at 704 votes--looking very good for over 1,000.

Memo to Alfred: David Gergen just called Romney's speech tonight "the most important of his life."

if obama remade america in the image of his favorite european cities he would easily be the best president in history

unless his favorite city is rome

Awesome, clem. Now I can go to bed. Gergen is like a glass of hot milk.

kathrynlopez a k-lo facebooker says of romney tonight: he was almost inspiring ... i was surprised

It felt very much like Romney was firing Europe, and was enjoying it a lot.

europe!

Looking forward to Romney's attack ads of Obama morphing into a topological map of Europe.

Phrase used in Romney speech: "The bitter politics of ENVY."

Just let me know when this is declared "the most important election of our lives."

yeah I know you guys aren't major deluded Dem hoes, with maybe one exception.

ayo morbs have you ever been to a 'red' state?

I went to Georgia twice in 2010, as well as Alabama. (And had barbecue in Lockhart, Texas.) I like how the really red ones here are brown:

haha deep santorum country

disappointed that perry is beating roemer

also that santorum's color on google isn't brown this time

I know who I would vote for in NH:

Pretty clear he's just another shill for the corporate gigivopology.

anyhoo, I'm glad we have some socialist candidates for president, if only for another week or two.

(like p4reene calling BS on the 'firing ppl' outrage, too)

i missed this, from a couple days ago

It's one that I don't think we should be using as Republicans, "middle class." There are no classes in America. We are a country that don't allow for titles. We don't put people in classes. There may be middle-income people, but the idea that somehow or another we're going to buy into the class-warfare arguments of Barack Obama is something that should not be part of the Republican lexicon. That's their job -- divide, separate, put one group against another. That's not the language that I'll use as president. I'll use the language of bringing people together.

santorum, btw

I wonder if he pulled that out of his ass or if it's something we're gonna be hearing in the future.
