Mitt Romney had a gangbuster day yesterday. He raised a lot of money. His top-notch staff handled the press beautifully. We can expect a series of announcements in the next couple of days about people he has signed up to maintain the momentum. Senator Jim DeMint, it seems the last Read more…
This is from a Brownback press release.
Is it me or are Massachusetts Republicans and conservatives not so fond of their governor? First, Mass Resistance hates him. Then, he loses his own College Republicans to McCain. Then he loses his own Senate Minority Leader. Now he loses his social conservatives:
In order to preserve traditional values and actually win back ground in the ongoing fight for our culture, we need a leader who can articulate and fight for our values with compassion, optimism, and consistency. We know consistent leadership when we see it. For this Leading Massachusetts Social Conservatives Endorse Brownback.
A friend of mine from Massachusetts told me recently that the way to go up in the party now is to attack Romney.
Even K-Lo, the Great Disciple, is becoming convinced that her man is a flip-flopper.
The release is after the jump.

I’ve slammed Mitt Romney a bunch, but this is a great idea. The Globe and Hotline both have great coverage. Hotline points out that Romney already has pledges for over $1m. I wouldn’t be surprised by $2m or even $3m. The goal here is clearly for Romney to scare people Read more…
In recent weeks, there has been interminable talk about how John McCain’s Presidential hopes could be over because of his position on Iraq. While I see that McCain’s position on Iraq could be a threat to his candidacy, I think that the Democrats are between a rock and a hard Read more…
Sam Brownback and Mitt Romney both seem to have made the decision to formally announce that they are running. Both spoke at Awakening, and they will both announce in the next week. Romney with donors in Boston. Brownback with Right-to-Life activists in Kansas before they leave for the March for Read more…
I’ve seen two posts now suggesting that Rudy Giuliani may consider dropping out. Political Insider says that the Mayor just hasn’t made up his mind yet. And in an article on McCain locking up SC donors, LJ of Race42008 says of Rudy: The way the Republican primary schedule is shaping Read more…
I woke up and saw this article at the Christian Broadcasting Network (recall, Pat Robertson’s operation). They report that Jerry Zandstra, President of the Michigan Pro-life League and a member of Sam Brownback’s Exploratory Committee, attacked Romney for flip-flopping on taxes: If this were the only flip in Gov. Romney’s Read more…
Evangelical for Mitt’s David French (whose wife and co-blogger lied to the press about funding people for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference) has written another apologetic on Mitt Romney’s record. In this case, a concerned Evangelical writes in and says that he read Mass Resistance’s "Romney Deception" piece and cannot Read more…
The recent stir-up involving the Vanity Fair article about John McCain and Mitt Romney dodging hard interviews have made me think a little bit about the strategies of the two campaigns regarding the media. Romney is clearly building his own media apparatus. He has donated money to National Review, recruited Read more…
Mitt Romney announced a group of people from his national Finance Committee. Hotlineblog has good commentary that I’ll just quote: But one new name stands out: Ted Welch, the Tennessee investment banker who masterminded Sen. Lamar Alexander‘s (R-TN) $20 million haul in 1996 and who, since he the RNC’s finance Read more…
