MItt Romney’s appearance on This Week will likely be viewed as one of the fundamental mistakes in the campaign. Not only has he had a problem with his statements on why he voted for Paul Tsongas. He is going to have another problem on taxes. In talking about taxes and Read more…
Mitt Romney explained today why he voted for Paul Tsongas in 1992. He said: "When there was no real contest in the Republican primary, I’d vote in the Democrat primary, vote for the person who I thought would be the weakest opponent for the Republican."

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Deroy Murdock, a known Rudy Giuliani supporter, rips Mitt Romney.

This would make it harder for 2nd-tier candidates to "pop" into the first tier. This would favor the people that the press take seriously, which, right now, seems to Read more…
