I think
this video really explains it all.
However, I won't end it there. Believe it or not, there's actually more.
Mitt Romney has attacked gay parents who adopted children, promised
another $264,000 tax cut to the wealthiest 0.1%, stood up for
Canadian oil company lobbyists over the people in "Middle America" who don't want to worry about the giant, dangerous tar sands oil pipeline in their backyard, and
attacked the SUCCESSFUL auto industry rescue plan that saved American jobs. And hey, we're just talking about "Mr. 1%" Mittens here.
There's also "Frothy" Ricky Santorum. Oh, lordy...
Believe it or not,
Mittens had to pour millions of campaign dollars into Michigan just to eke out a 3% win over that guy.
So when you consider his built-in advantages, the money he poured into the state, the attacks he leveled against Santorum, and the dreadful debate performance Santorum turned in last week, Romney’s three-point margin seems a lot less impressive. This was not like Florida, where Romney utterly decimated his chief foe (Newt Gingrich) and posted a lopsided victory. This was a must-win state that Romney threw everything he had at… and managed to win by just three points – apparently with a big boost from early voters, many of whom cast their ballots before Santorum surged into contention.
This suggests that Romney may not get much of a bounce out Michigan – and that he could find himself in big trouble again one week from now on Super Tuesday. The biggest state to vote that day is Ohio, a big Midwest state culturally and demographically similar to Michigan. The latest poll in the Buckeye State, released early on Tuesday, gives Santorum an 11-point lead over Romney, 37 to 26 percent. Maybe those numbers will tighten in the wake of Michigan, but Romney is going to have to fight for it.
So as we discussed last night,
it's likely the G-O-TEA primary brawl will continue regardless of how Mittens' surrogates spin last night's results on the cable "news" channels. And as the primary fight goes on,
Mittens faces more challenges... Including
in the general election should he survive primary season, since
he's lurched so far to the radical right that his issue positions are virtually identical to Santorum's.
And this brings us back here to Nevada. We've already seen
Joe Heck run away from his BFF on housing. I don't think you need me to remind you why this happened... But hey,
what the Heck!
