Mitt Romney Supporters are Worse than Ron Paul Supporters (or, “This is not about picking someone who shares your beliefs and principles”)

I was at a fundraiser last night and didn’t watch last night’s debate, but from everything I read none of the candidates, during what would be their second to last chance to take a shot at Mitt Romney, took a shot or tried to debate him on anything. Romney wins. Cue the smug Mittbots.

There’s hasn’t been a quote that has better summed up Romney’s base of support then from one of his surrogates yesterday, “It’s not even about picking someone with your own beliefs and principles.” Say what you will about Ron Paul supporters, but they at least have specific domestic and foreign policy beliefs that they advocate for. Romney supporters? All they tell you is that “he can win” without any evidence that can back it up.

Marc Cendella: An “Anti-Tax Entrepreneur” for a Better New York

“[Cendella]is out there working hard and meeting with a lot of people…very, very impressive young man.” – Manhattan G.O.P. chairman Dan Isaacs

Unlike most of the other rumoured NY Senate candidates I left myself get excited by (::cough::dansenor::cough::), Mark Cendella seems more serious than the rest and while a definitive announcement hasn’t been made yet, he’s hired the guy who led Bob Turner to victory, and has been making the rounds talking to GOP heads and even grabbed some time with journalist Fed Dicker at the recent State of the State.

Cendella, who supported Ron Paul in ’08 and sits on the board of the club for growth, plans a jumping starting his own campaign with his own millions (a necessity if you’re running state wide in New York). He plans on drawing from his background as a young entrepreneur and job creator as the cornerstone of his campaign…

Can Jon Huntsman Win? It’ll Take a Miracle

I’ve yet to find a single candidate in past primaries who has gone “all-in” in a state and had it work out for them. Jon Huntsman, his supporters, and those of us NotRomney’s who are hoping to derail Mitt before South Carolina are hoping for miracle.

He’s 2nd in most of the new polls (or statistically tied for second, I don’t count Ron Paul) and has two debates to wow a NH elecorate who is know for surprises. You can ask Hillary Clinton aboot that. I guess stranger things have happened. For now, here’s the commercial he’s airing in New Hampshire right now…

An Open Letter to Ron Paul Supporters REVISTED

I had a racist totally rationale Ron Paul supporter send me a video that claims Jon Huntsman can’t be trusted and is weak on China…because he adopted a baby from there. It showed pictured of Huntsman with his daughter and evil sounding Chinese music playing in the background. Unfortunately, when they aren’t trying to kill chemtrails with vinegar, this seems to be par for the course for a lot of the Paulbots and they’re coming out of the woodwork today.

It reminded me of a column my good friend (and former broadcast partner) Mark Radulich wrote back in 2007. This was the impression the gave four years ago. They’ve gotten worse…

Enough with this [Candidate X] Must Drop Out Bullshit

(The graphic to your left was lifted by those upstanding lads at Misfit Politics)

I’m a Not-Romney guy. Newt Gingrich is my Not-Romney of choice. I’ve already discussed why Rick Perry campaign and Jon Huntsman campaign haven’t impressed me. Rick Santorum? I’ll have to Google him when I get home, but meh. But while I prefer one Not-Romney to the other two and it would be easier for him if they dropped out, this jive where people demand [candidate X] drop out and endorse is ridiculous.

I know everyone keeps getting more unhinged on the internets when you disagree with them, but three things…
