Mittmentum is accelerating
February 4th, 2008 Posted in Mitt Romney
See this article on yet another blogger’s conversion to Mitt.
Here’s one noteable quote:
Meanwhile, Republicans should not take too much comfort from McCain’s performance in polls against Clinton and Obama this far from November. The McCain I saw in the California debate last week didn’t look particularly electable. With the economy emerging as the overwhelmingly central issue in the campaign, with McCain’s nasty streak increasingly on display, and with his reputation for straight-talk diminishing before our eyes, I’m not prepared to base a vote for the Senator on electability.
The decision thus comes down to policy and effectiveness. I give Romney the edge on both counts.

I agree that McCain would not win in the fall, and if he performs in the likely 3 fall debates like he has recently, he could get crushed by 10pts.
My fear is what happens down the line on the ticket? I think a McCain nomination could have a reverse coat-tail effect. How do conservative House and Senate candidates run for office on issues of taxes, global warming, etc., when the Democrat can turn and just retort he has the same position has McCain the head of the GOP.

Hey some asked for a catchy slogan for the Romney rebound/surge? How about this: “Romn ‘n Roll” - Especially after Super Tuesday and he comes out ahead … YES! … “Romney ‘n Roll” Let’s get this going!
