Ann Coulter: Iowa Shows Republicans Determined to Beat Obama

donkeyhotey
Ann Coulter  "Not a professional politician, Romney has created a lot of jobs and also knows how to fire people, something heretofore untried in the federal workforce, except briefly by Reagan.

"Having spent his life turning around companies in the private sector and not sitting on some Senate committee spending money, he'll get to Washington and be as shocked as the rest of us are at how taxpayer money is wasted even by conservative senators like Santorum.

"Iowa shows that Republicans are still the party of normal people -- normal people who are determined to defeat Obama."

John McCain Endorsement: Best Man to Lead the Country is the One I Called a Serial Flip-Flopper a While Back

The Powers That Be    "John McCain has endorsed Romney, saying Mitt’s the best candidate to restore the United States of America.
"It seems like only yesterday…"



Romney and McCain bury the past   When Romney said in one debate that the troop surge in Iraq “apparently” was working, McCain upbraided him. “The surge is working, sir,” he said. “It is working.” Romney protested: “That’s just what I said.” To which McCain responded scornfully, “No, not apparently. It’s working.”


Anyone But Romney  "A group of movement conservatives has called an emergency meeting in Texas next weekend to find a "consensus" Republican presidential hopeful, Politico reports.

"The group is "concerned that a vote split between Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum among base voters could enable Mitt Romney to grab the GOP nomination. A source who shared the invitation said the meeting was about how to avoid such a possibility." "

The Donkey Whisperer




PJ Media  "Someone on Roger Williams’ staff is brilliant. Good for the person who thought of this, and good for Roger Williams for having the guts to go along with an unconventional ad and give us all a good laugh. Roger Williams is The Donkey Whisperer. Watch him try to turn these stubborn asses into elephants. “You’re not a victim!” "

Republicans in Iowa

Obama campaign warns of 'extremist' Republicans   "US President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign early Wednesday sought to portray the nation's first Republican nomination battle as a victory for "extremist" candidates."
Carter gives Obama advice  "Son, this is what you need to do to be a good candidate"


Neal Boortz on the Iowa Caucuses  "Nearly 60% of those who voted for Santorum said that their number ONE issue .. now we’re talking NUMBER ONE here … was abortion.  That’s right:  With Iran threatening our U.S. Navy; with the economy still in the toilet … an economy that can’t produce enough jobs to keep up with population growth; with all the problems we’re facing as a nation the NUMBER ONE issue for these voters is whether or not a woman somewhere might be making the decision to terminate a preganancy?(sp)"

Kimberly Strassel: Mr. Good Enough  "Voters aren't convinced by Mitt Romney. They're not certain of his convictions; they wonder if he is the leader for these times; they're not sold on his policies or his personality. Yet voters may be about to make the former Massachusetts governor the Republican nominee for the presidency. Mark this down as the triumph of strategy over inspiration."


Latest Republican ad using Democrat's words:



NRO Symposium:  What Iowa Means  "But the big story ought to be Romney. He has all the king’s horses and all the king’s men supporting him, the print MSM and most segments on Fox News Channel in his favor, yet for the second time in four years, 75 percent of Iowa caucus-goers rejected him. Frontrunner? Sure. Electable? Maybe. Inevitable? Not so fast."

Why Romney and Santorum Fought to a Draw in Iowa  "The big story in Iowa appears to be that Romney’s camp is getting the result it wanted despite a merely workmanlike showing for their own candidate. That’s because the Iowa results will elevate Paul and Santorum, who face the greatest hurdles in building a national campaign, while depressing Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry -- either of whom might have had more chance to emerge as a threat to Romney if they had received a boost from Iowa."

Roger L Simon:  Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy Dies in Iowa  "So Paul has had his value, though like so many “true believers” he has trouble integrating the orthodoxies of his ideology with the realities of the world. This is particularly odd since he is old enough to have grown up in the shadow of World War II and Hitler and then of the evils of Stalin and Mao. Such things do not just “go away” if you are a “good libertarian.” Paul is in a sense the anti-Reagan – peace not through strength but through ideological purity."


Is it Jon Huntsman's turn to be the 'not Romney' candidate?
