Is Romney Melting Down?

Donald Douglas at American Power: “[O]ne of the hottest conservative causes of the year, and Romney waffles?” And according to Zogby, in a head-to-head matchup, Herman Cain beats Romney more than 2-to-1 — 63% to 29% Try putting that on your whiteboard, Karl Rove! UPDATE: Romney backtracks, says he fully supports Ohio governor ‘110 percent’

Romney Secures McCain Endorsement

by Smitty That’s right, Stacy’s cousin Meghan endorsed Bruce CampbellMitt Romney, as reported by the Lonely Conservative. Maggy also, apparently, chilled out in Zuccotti Park with the #OWS crowd. Ah, the Progressive pride parade. Just don’t call her Green, m’kay? She’ll think that means you’re calling her an airhead, or something. Update: linked by Nice […]

The big news? This poll was taken Oct. 19-24, entirely after last week’s Vegas debate (Perry’s best performance to date) and covers the period during which the abortion controversy was supposedly (if you believe Karl Rove) destroying the viability of the Cain campaign: Herman Cain ………………. 25% Mitt Romney ………………. 21% Newt Gingrich …………….. 10% […]
