What do you make of this?

1. The Corporate Media is somehow not pulling for Romney? I don't

know why they wouldn't, but who knows. Could also be that the editors are like Tweety, and really, really think that the old POW St. John McCain "deserves" to win. Either way, I'm not worried about anyone in the media trying to take down particular GOPers--it's always a good thing.

4. Mebbe Union and Monitor

not as 'corporate' as we tend to expect.

6. I don't know--McCain is not exactly an anti-corporate "man of the people" himself, Mr. Keating Five.

I can understand their not endorsing Romney, certainly, or even giving him a negative review--but the all-out attacks ("He must be stopped! He's a phony!") do make me curious as to what Mittens did to piss them off so. I can't recall any other "anti-endorsements" quite like this. I see them ALL as frauds, phonies, warpigs, liars, wackadoodles and mental defectives, to varying degrees--Mittens is just not as skilled at hiding it as the other guys, and thus I suppose he earns their contempt the most, especially since they've seen him up close for years.

9. Romney is very

adroit, isn't he? Greater fear that he'll succeed at whatever.

2. I find it really odd thatthe north easterners aren't supporting Mittens.

I know they sure don't wanat Huck! As for McCain, back in 2000 I liked him because he was a rebel! He lost me when he sided with Shrub after what ShrubCo had done to him and his wife! All that aside, I'm honestly afraid he could die during the campaign. He's OLD, and sometimes he looks like he's soooo tired and worn out.

3. Romney and Rudy are finished! Stick a fork in them.

Hard to tell who the GOP nominee is going to be, but as of now it seems that the Huckster will win Iowa and McCain will take New Hampshire.

5. He looks OK some days, like the McCain of 2000--

and then other days, you'd think he was on Thorazine. He also looks fragile, and tells the same jokes and anecdotes over and over again--he belongs in the Shady Pines Rest Home more than the Oval Office. I'm afraid he'd pick a really lousy Veep (like Huckabilly) and we'd be even more screwn if he died than if he lived out his term.

7. It was interesting that ...

It was interesting that he attacked McCain for being a flip-flopper and not supporting the war. This is the type of Republican primary we need. The zombies feed on each other. Unfortunately though, there aren't a lot of brains on the menu.
