It literally reminds me of elementary school when little kids thought that they were educated and clever for pulling the "N-gger just means ignorant" card

So, with Romney crushing Santorum today in Illinois, is that the end of the pretence of Santorum having a chance?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #16744 on:** March 20, 2012, 10:09:00 PM »

Santorum never really had a shot, but he and Newt will stay in it to draw this out as long as possible because they hate Romney. Ron Paul will stay in it because he lives in a separate reality. Romney will die by a thousand wingnut cuts. Expect the craziest, least fun convention of all time ever for the Republicans. It will make Pat Buchanan's 1992 speech seem like nothing.

In most people's mind, yes. But Santorum will likely keep this going, awaiting the PA and TX primaries. If Santorum and Gingrich stay in the race it's very likely that Romney won't get the required delegates to clinch the nomination. Which means the GOP gets a brokered convention and Gaborn will spin Ron Paul's decision to give all his delegates to Romney in exchange for something.

There was actually a poll in some recent states and it basically broke down like this for Newt supporters: 40% santorum, 40% romney, 20% paul/whatever. Crazy.

Gingrich was on Morning Edition today talking about refusing to drop out of the race. Are the GOP candidates so full of themselves that they don't see how much damage this is causing for their party? Don't answer that.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #16755 on:** March 22, 2012, 04:46:46 PM »

They all keep going on about how Romney is too moderate and centrist to be a real conservative, but let's face facts, he IS going to the be the GOP nominee. I really shouldn't care since I'm a liberal, but it's an absolute trainwreck and none of them see it.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #16756 on:** March 22, 2012, 05:36:34 PM »

Gingrich seems butthurt Romney "stole" the nomination from him with a barrage of negative ads. Santorum is actually winning states and will continue.

Gotta love Ron Paul taking money from supporters just to work to get Romney elected. Such principle!

how damaging is this protracted primary season to Rommney?
i mean, the guy has got to be burning through money like mad trying to clinch this thing, will he have fewer resources down the line because of this, will he have donar fatige later on cause he used all his mojo earlier on. Not to mention the continious line of gaffes he's offered on the campaign trail.

Romney will be embarrassed by Obama in the debates.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #16761 on:** March 23, 2012, 09:16:51 AM »

It's true that Romney is spending at a very high clip right now and that the return on that spending has been relatively paltry. But I'm not convinced that this will amount to a major funding issue for Romney when it comes to the general.

In terms of his image, yes, this is hurting him. The gaffes are one thing, but it's really the way that he's been pulled further and further to the right in order to contend with the candidates he can't snuff out. When he's speaking to the general election audience, Obama will only have to point a few months in to the past in order to catch Romney saying something far too red.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #16762 on:** March 23, 2012, 10:55:46 AM »

If it wasn't for Citizen's United Romney would be financing his campaign right now, and begging for money. Super PACs are going to ensure he has endless cash for the fall

Drudge initially labeled the comment as Obama's entry into the "race fry." Which was followed by an overall claim that Obama is using the tragedy to pander for re-election. Initially the WH refused to discuss the issue, calling it a local law enforcement issue - a fact some are using to argue this is just Obama pivoting after the issue blew up. But...it's not longer a local law enforcement issue, the FBI and Justice Department are now involved.

Quote

“What the president said, in a sense, is disgraceful,” Gingrich said on the Hannity Radio show. “It’s not a question of who that young man looked like. Any young American of any ethnic background should be safe, period. We should all be horrified no matter what the ethnic background.

“Is the president suggesting that if it had been a white who had been shot, that would be OK because it didn’t look like him. That’s just nonsense dividing this country up. It is a tragedy this young man was shot. It would have been a tragedy if he had been Puerto Rican or Cuban or if he had been white or if he had been Asian American of if he’d been a Native American. At some point, we ought to talk about being Americans. When things go wrong to an American, it is sad for all Americans. Trying to turn it into a racial issue is fundamentally wrong. I really find it appalling.”

as the most respected and visible black man, in the world, and as the leader of the government that's going to eventually fry that shithead's ass, Obama had an obligation to speak out. I thought his words were heartfelt and fully appropriete.

I hate doubting evidence that is inconvenient but I do find it odd that one anonymous witness contradicts all the other witnesses, and he's being used by the police and others to justify Zimmerman.

And while I can't stand Cenk, he does bring up an interesting point: theoretically people are arguing that you can chase after someone, start a confrontation, and ultimately shoot the person if you're getting your ass beat.

Didn't Obama stay out of it for quite some time until it was clear that it might be a federal issue?

that's one way to put it, or..

Quote

Obama and the White House had previously refrained from commenting on the case. Following demands by the New Black Panthers and others on scene in Sanford, Fla. that the White House get involved, Obama jumped into the fight. When first asked about the case, White House spokesman Jay Carney essentially declined comment, offering a boilerplate statement of condolence to Martin’s family.

Due to the boredom of the apocalypse she places it in a launcher which she has named "Current Tax Code". The launcher shoots it in the air where it turns it into a cheap, green screen effect and her much older lover shoots it with a rifle.
