Home Run

The media bias against Romney would be funny if it weren't so damaging.

"stepped back from the brink of a failed presidential bid" ???
"after a string of humbling setbacks in Iowa and New Hampshire"????

What the HECK?

How can 2 second places be considered "humbling setbacks"? How can having more delegates than any other candidate be described as "the brink of a failed presidential bid"?

I worry that these tactics will unfairly fool people into believing Romeny has little or no chance. Give the man the credit he's due!

It wasn't Newsweek, but I found it very disturbing that Romney's 6 point loss in New Hampture was described as a "blistering defeat" while his NINE point win in Michigan had the headline, "Romney EDGES past McCain". What's THAT about?

PS: This article is NOT about religion. Romney's campaign is NOT about religion. So, these religion-based comments (on both sides) are meaningless. Let's stick to the relevant issues.

The desperate voters in Michigan would have voted for Santa Claus if he promised the state jobs and billion-dollar pork spending by the federal government. Romney spent $1.6 million more than McCain in Michigan for turned his nose up at the many economists who confirmed McCain's Michigan employment assessment. The last thing this country needs is a free-spending dreamer who panders to special interests just to get their vote. This conservative Republican is backing the truth-talking, budget-cutting McCain - not a pessimist but a realist.

Fluke or not if a guy cannot win his home state without spending tons of money and effort, It is pathetic. Especially when his father was an auto industry exec and governer for several terms.

Our country used to be number 1 in the nation not anymore. We have let our morals go down, let the me generation take over in schools, no God anymore which our country was founded on. Read your history books Rome fell and right before Rome fell they were much like us. Look what they did to Bush who is a moral man and christian. But that does't matter to America anymore as long we can get our way. Even the forefathers talked about God and prayer and how this country would have to stand for God to be properous. It is sad to think that the ones that found this country are being made fun of right now by Americans or should I say so called Americans. I think Huckabee scares people. He has never once went back and forth on issues. Religion scares Americans even though this country was found on it. As time goes on I'm glad I'm at my age but feel sorry for future generations. I've seen the good times in Ameruca and if we keep going like we are going I think the good times are gone.

It seems that the people who don't like Romney simply call him names and resort to pettiness. That's pathetic for people that think they have an intelligent opinion. As an independent it certainly seems that the facts point to the man who has spent his life accomplishing things it seems no one else was able to. When people like that say they can do something they usually do it because they're made of stuff that the rest of us aren't. I certainly don't want a leader that can't lead. I don't want a leader that has ties to anti-amercan groups or anti-white groups. I don't want the spouse of a living x-pres, I think that violates term limits. I don't want a president that uses religious divisiveness, that's literally unamerican. I'm concerned about having a president that doesn't have the energy to sustain him through the next five years because of his age, and the demands of the office in the future. And I don't see any of the field that have the qualities needed as a package except Romney. He has lived the American Dream and set the example. To criticize that, is just unAmerican. Romney appears to be the real deal and by far the best all around choice, and it seems the people are recognizing it; most votes, and most delegates. This guy seems to have the guts. He certainly has an understanding for people of all walks of life.

People who are against Mitt Romney just because he is a Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon is a nickname) are being completely ignorant. He is a wonderful, virtous, and honest man who's running for president because he actually cares about this country. He knows, as well as you do, if some things don't start changing around here, we're headed for some rough times!
I've talked to people who are concerned that Romney will take his orders from his church leaders. That is not so. He is supported by the church, but does not IN ANY WAY take orders. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does encourage their members to be active in voting and elections, but mormons have their own free agency just like anyone else. Just because he's Mormon doesn't necessarily mean that church leaders are going to vote for him. Some may and some may not. We've had previous presidents of other faiths and they didn't take advice from the Pope or any if their leaders?!? No one was worried about that! Relax people, it's just a religion that believes in God, Jesus Christ, family, values, and being the best person you can be. I wonder what's so wrong with that?

At a 7.4% unemployment rate apparently not everyone in Michigan is out of work. GM, Ford, and Chrysler all outsourced their manufacturing to Mexico and other countries and now they are behind Toyota in US sales.
Toyota, Mercedes, Honda and others have in fact opened manufacturing facilities in the US and gained market share. Just use the Toyota business model and open manufacturing facilities in Michigan and the unemployment rate should take care of itself. The "machinery does most of the work" comment is true, but some replacement jobs are better than none at all and should bring the unemployment rate down to the national average.

dezzi7777 - why don't you ask your bleeding heart crazy Howard Dean why VT lost all its jobs? He probably won't let on to the fact that Essex Junction and the state taxed IBM to the point of extinction until they started laying off workers to try and keep up. Now you have outrageous property taxes and no decent jobs to make it possible for the common folks to afford to live there.

Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Mercedes have all built manufacturing plants in the US to better compete in the market. Toyota is now the leader in the US in auto sales. GM, Ford and Chrysler all wwent to Mexico or some other foreign country to build their cars and now they are losing money and market shere in the US. Doesn't it make sense to look at the successful business models that now exist rather than try to revive the Michigan auto industries using business models that forced them out of business in Michigan?

Mitt Romney is an excellent, well qualified candidate. He has the strength, desire, education, and ability to be a very good president. His father did an awesome job as gov in my home state of Michigan. It does seem the national media is down-playing Romney. What's the deal with that? We would like to see more of Mitt and more objective reporting. And incidentally, why is it playing dirty to point out a Democratic candidate used hard drugs as a young man. Others are held accountable, why not Mr O?

The statement "I guess his performance in the South will determine if he remains as a top candidate or if he fades into the background" refers to Huckabee.
