How 'bout them Republican Candidates?

Beltway Confidential: Campaign Roundup: links and commentary on all the candidates
Romney speech falls flat in Detroit.  Obama has got to be rolling on the floor, laughing.
I told Romney, you gotta go with the Greek columns!
Rick Santorum said Friday he regretted endorsing Mitt Romney for president in 2008.
Aw, geez, Rick.


Canada Free Press:  Republicans: still searching for a fight they can win   "This is because bills that pass Congress with bipartisan support and media approval in the days of Obama, are bills that increase spending and hasten our descent into drachma–based budgeting. And voting to extend the payroll tax cut is a perfect example."


NRO:   The Devil and Rick Santorum   Santorum " has been described, falsely, as an advocate of banning contraception. A dated joke about birth control made by one of his major supporters has been treated as a campaign scandal. A remark about Obama’s misguided environmental “theology” has been turned into an insinuation that the president is not a Christian.
"But the press has not had to invent controversial remarks by Santorum, who has supplied them himself."  Mona Charen says Don’t Pick Rick  He’d be too busy explaining his past statements to run for president. Michael Barone sees things pretty much the same way

Appeasing Ron Paul Won’t Work (01.13.2012)  Republicans are rightly concerned about Ron Paul playing a destructive role in the presidential campaign this fall. Efforts to keep him on the reservation are already beginning, and there is little doubt the significant number of delegates he may win for the party’s national convention in Tampa will have to be dealt with carefully lest they cause trouble and sabotage what will in all likelihood be Mitt Romney’s coronation.

UK Daily Mail: Newt Gingrich, R.I.P - and for the Last Time  "To forestall the usual responses from American "conservatives," let me make the obligatory denials: I regard Obama as the least competent president in American history and loathe the very sight of Mitt Romney.  Nonetheless, there is a candidate out there who is less competent than Obama and more duplicitous than Romney, and that is Newt Gingrich. He ruined the Republican Party once. Now, all he asks is a chance to destroy what is left of the United States." THOMAS FLEMING
