Thread: Romeny live right now with Chris Wallace

I'll start on that later this afternoon. We definitely need to hit talk radio, and even the likes of Hannity and Scarborough, although I guess they can't outright endorse him. I do believe both are big supporters of Romney, and they need to hear from as many anti-McCain voters as possible.

I think William has been very clear on this

Its a matter of who we don't support

Huck
McCain
Rudi
or an Dem

I saw Mitt's interview with Chris. He asked him the same question twice and Mitt answered it exactly the same way. What a Doofus.

I liked Mitt's stimulus package that eliminates Social Security and Medicare taxes for those 65 and older. I'm not 65 yet, but if I was and still working, I'd be jumping for joy.

What I like about Mitt is that he thinks outside the box and comes up with creative solutions to a problem.

I listened to a local LA radio talk show last night Mark Isler on KABC 790 am. He's a big Mitt fan and used to support Tom, too. So many of his listeners are now on board. A Catholic woman called in and said that she and her 14 lady friends got together and reviewed all the candidates and they overwhelmingly chose Mitt. And the fact that he's so "cute" also played a part in their decision. When push comes to shove - just like with Kennedy and Nixon - looks are going to play a factor in this election.

Some NY Congressman is saying on Fox right now that he doesn't believe the Republican base will rally around McCain. He believes they'll ultimately back Romney. We need to take this as encouragement and run with it.

My understanding is that's what he's done his whole professional career. He's been really good at it and it made him rich.

I cannot for the life of me see how Republicans could back Juan McKennedy!! He sucks! He's the most un-Republican one running!! What the heck is wrong with these people! Did I just get transported to Bizarro World where everything is opposite?

Wallace made a point of hammering him about some lay offs he had to do with some companys

But Wallace never mentioned the amount of jobs he created with
opening successful companies

At least Romney has been in the private sector and knows what it's like to run a business, meet payroll, provide health insurance to employees etc.

Contrast this to McCain who has been receiving fat taxpayer-funded public sector checks for decades.

Former Senator Rick Santorum (who has not endorsed Romney) recently said the same thing about McCain.

More important with Romney and his business history

He knows how to cut fat and make budgets
