It is being reported that Ann Marie Curling and her husband Joel were seen having lunch today at the Kirkwood, Mo. Panera’s with two local Republican operatives. While it is not known what subjects were discussed, the conversation was very animated and lasted some two hours.
Further reports indicate that Ann Marie and Joel Blodgett headed to Wentzville, Mo. after the extended political lunch, were they will spend the night before heading to T.R. Hughes ballpark tomorrow for the big rally with McCain/Palin/Romney and Huckabee……Developing

John, are you stalking the Curlings?!
Hope, so! Ann Marie will lots to report on, I’m sure.
Hope she and Joel get a word or two with Romney. Hope she stays spit-ball distance away from the YucksterHuckster. No, I think it would be great for her to get a vise-grip squeeze his hand and tell him how she feels about him feels!
Gotta laugh or go nuts, right?!

I am really proud of you guys and quite happy for you. I guess Romney is going to be here on Monday to speak to the delegates. I guess since I am not a delegate, I cannot go. That is ok.

Romney is going to be the gentleman. But we don’t have to be! We can and will make this a huge statement to the country that were here, we vote and by golly, we RUN FOR OFFICE AND WIN.

Cannot wait to hear from Ann Marie, Wall St. Panel said , Should have been Mitt Romney. I won’t linger in despair, but this was a terrrible injustice to Mitt, only my feeling. I repeat, it’s not our decision, what do We the People matter? Something will happen better for Mitt. Maybe Obama wins, we get Mitt back with more gusto and street smart on the ways of politicians 2012! Hold on to your wallet.

Paulee…
This really does stink doesn’t it? It is his choice and he did make it and he does have to accept the ramifications of it. I just hope we all don’t have to pay too. I pray for Mitt, I pray for all of this. SO odd this whole thing…

Karen: You hold on and this time shall pass. We will see Our man Mitt this week, he’ll make them all look like amatures, he surely has had a tough bout with this process. He has grown so much as a person, he will be okay, I have faith in his resiliance. Sarah best not screw up, they’ll have her head. Mitt has seasoned, she better be good, she is in for the big time. Time will tell! What are we doing and thinking in this country? We needed complete competant leadership! Got to run, have company, great repuplican friends, also dismayed for Mitt.Smile, if you can. Thoughts of happier days, hopefully.

Have a great time with your great republican friends Paulee. And, thanks for your wisdom and kind words. The world needs more Paulees! K

Lots of people her are dismayed and not very motivated to vote for McCain. 60 days will make a lot of difference. At times I wish we could vote our conscience and not have to fret over the supreme court. A lot of people do not LIKE EITHER CANDIDATE THIS TIME. Mitt and Hillary would have given 50% of this country a voice.

Mitt 10:
They like either candidate because out of the 4 of them 3 are way too similar! It seems Sarah Palin is the true conservative! wow, what a dynamic!

Wow - I am stunned by the “buzz”.
You all know how devoted we have been to Romney.
I had a email from Anne’s brother this morning - in it he said that he had just spoken with her - that they were feeling some relief and were very upbeat and dedicated to getting this ticket elected.
Now, if they can bounce back and put the campaign above their hopes, then we must stop and think and consider doing the same. For the sake of the country - they do not want an Obama elected. What a most unselfish motivation at this time. That must be the most unselfish objective for all of us. We have been his supporters because we respect him as a person and as a leader. If we are truly his supporters then we will continue to follow him and trust his judgement.
I have asked Rod if he can give us a resource for letting Mitt and Anne know how we feel, just as we did following the primaries. I told him it was important that we do that. I will let you know if I receive a reply to that request.
In the meantime, this decision needs further analysis before we make hasty decisions for which we will all be sorry. That is difficult for me to say as I have been one of the most outspoken ones when it came to voting for McCain if Mitt was not the VP.
The objective is to WIN. Nothing can be accomplished if we do not have the White House. The struggle to win is predicated on making a statement that trumps the “Hollywood”
mentality of the Democratic Party. We essentially MUST get down and dirty to overcome their impact because they have so many poorly informed voters and they appeal to this level of intelligence through class envy. Mitt and McCain are both affluent contenders and fit right into that visual of the Republicans as rich and unaffected by the misfortunes of the poor. My goodness, look at what they focus on to sway public opinion from the fact that Obama has NO experience and that he will literally destroy this country;s economy - McCain cannot remember how many houses he has and Mitt Romney has just as many. Why on NBC during the Palin announcement, they had a trailer that said “How many houses does this add to the McCain campaign?” - constantly appealing to the ignorant and uninformed by playing the class envy card - a major news network in the tank for the Democrats. We MUST have a totally unexpected angle to confuse the masses and many of those masses were Hilary supporters and women who want a woman on the ticket. It makes perfect “political” sense just not perfect “common” sense to those of us who are more informed and realize what we need as a country. There will never be any reasoning with those who do not listen to reason but simply react to emotion,We must realize that through our social welfare system the wrong people have been having babies - a true and simple fact. Those people are now voters for the Democrats because they continue to get free support through life from them as they continue to increase the entitlement programs. The Sarah Palin choice was an attempt to appeal to those who react primarily with emotion. Although right now we may feel they take us for granted, they are counting on those of us who make decisions by being informed to realize what they must do to win and continue to support the effort.
Evilio - you have been a steadfast supporter of Mitt Romney. You and I have been on the same page on virtually everything. We worked very closely with Mitt’s brother in law here in Florida during the campaign. He is so devoted to this MITT - with a respect and admiration that is quite moving at times. His response to me now and after the primaries was to “trust Mitt’s judgement”. Mitt Romney is NOT A WHINER. He is a man of great dedication and personal fortitude as is his wife and their family. He has taken this in stride and refocused his efforts on electing McCain and other Republicans in November because his dedication is to the country and not to his personal needs or wants. I am sure there is disappointment, but you will not see or hear that from him at this time as he does not want anything to jeopardize a win in November. The ultimate unselfish act for this country.
We must AT LEAST put our vote where our mouth is and continue to support the candidate whom we know is the best for America - MITT ROMNEY. Right now - HE is asking us to support the Republican ticket. WE repeatedly accuse others of hippocricy in their beliefs and actions - let us not be recipients of that same criticism by abandoning our candidate in his greatest hour of need. Our support is desperately needed. What we can do in addition to giving that support is push for a VISIBLY PUBLIC position for Mitt in this administration. I have sent messages to the RNC and McCain Campaign to announce such a position ASAP if they want our continued support. If you can all do that - it will be a big help. It will keep Mitt in the public eye for the next four years and show America just how excellent he would be as President in 2012. Just as Mitt has done, we now must get over this and refocus our emotions and efforts to working alongside him to get this ticket elected. Let us not abandon him now - it is always darkest before the dawn.

Hey all, just saw Mitt on c-span with Huck, Mccain, Palin. Was well presented, very polite to one another and complimentary. Pat on the backs, hugs, etc. Huck said I’m proud to introduce my friend,
gov. Romney, i almost fell over dead. However, biggest statement came from Mccain, stating how well Mitt did in Primaries,etc. but said, He will need Mitt by his side in January. Okay, What does this comment mean, are we happy? Time will tell, let’s keep our ears glued to tv and eyes wide open!!!!!!!! He also referred to Mitt’s lovely wife Ann.What does he mean? Any clues?
August 31st, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Thanks, Renna for sharing your message. I liked what Mccain said during their afternoon in Missouri. He stated he would need Mitt at his side in January. Very interesting and perhaps hopeful, ya think?
August 31st, 2008 at 5:33 pm
He’s just trying to keep us happy Paulee… that’s what I think anyway. He’s used Romney. And how can Huck introduce his “friend” Mitt Romney after all that he said to trash him?!?!? GRRR That just ticks me off to no end.
I wish I could’ve seen them on the news. If any of you see any video links to today’s events, please share here! Thanks!

Thanks Karen, you are so nice. I really appreciate your kindness to everyone here.

Tami: This is politics, loath one minute and friends the next, we are just not used to these tactics. Totally rude awakening for me this year. First time I’ve felt so passionate about a candidate. My husband and our family love Mitt . We will con tinue to support, with hopes Palin will come true to Mccain’s beliefs. Biggest statement! Huck stating Mitt as his friend. Like to hear Mitt’s take on this. Even BIGGER, McCain will want Mitt on his side in January. What does this mean? What say you? Very curious?????
