Why do some think there actually is a Presidential contest coming up? What the GOP has provided to run against Obama, are all sacrificial lambs. Why else would the best of the GOP not be in the race? They know, the battle for the WH will be in 2016. Get used to it.

What is he going to write? How he going to title the book?

Let me take a guess: "How to make millions and billions by offer no real value & services by using LBO?"

How about this: "How to use LBO to exact hard earn money and value from strong cash flow companies?"

Don't like the two, here is one more suggestion: "How to transforming a debt free company into a debt ridden company and left with millions"

You two should really look at some polls. Obama and Romney are very close in virtually all of them, with Romney leading Obama in quite a few.

When you look at state polls in swing states, Romney leads Obama in Florida and Ohio - the two most important.

Romney leads Obama in every poll with independents - in some with large margins.

Everyone other than Obamatron elitists and Paulbots are very well aware that there "actually is a Presidential contest coming up." Don't you tell me to "get used to" anything, Bob. Get used to the fact that this is going to be a very close election, no matter who wins.

It wasn't a Suburban. It was a station wagon.

And it wasn't a box, it was a large crate. While I don't approve of it, what would have been better? Putting the dog in the trunk? You couldn't think that, could you?

Would putting the dog in the passenger section of the car with the rest of the family have been preferable? I don't believe there was enough room for him, so he probably would have had to sit on someone's lap. The dog lost of control of his bowels. Did you ever think that the dog could have simply been scared of riding in cars (mine is always terrified whenever she's in the car, even when she is sitting in the front seat!)? He could have lost control of his bowels in the passenger section of the car as well.

Romney LOST to Rick "don't google my name" Santorum in Iowa!

And, in South Carolina today, he could very well lose to probably the most amoral and unethical sleazebag to ever run for president!

I was curious as to his employment between the time he dropped out of the 2008 race and now.

"Romney ran for the Republican nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, winning several primaries and caucuses, but eventually losing the nomination to John McCain. In the following years, he gave speeches and raised campaign funds on behalf of fellow Republicans. "

Mitt Romney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That doesn't sound like a job, to me. Maybe he should run as the unemployed candidate.

Oh, my bad. I had heard it was a Suburban. That certainly makes a difference, doesn't it?

"Box." "Crate." What difference does it make?

Station wagons don't have trunks; neither do Suburbans.

Now you're just making excuses for his callous mistreatment of his dog.

If there was no room in the car for the dog to ride safely and comfortably with the rest of the family, or if the dog had "issues" about riding in cars, especially for TWELVE hours, with all his gazillions, Mittens could have certainly been able to afford to put the dog up at a very nice five-star kennel. Or why not leave the dog home? I'm sure each of their six or ten homes have full-time staff (I doubt very much Mrs, Mittens scrubs toilets) - a housekeeper or gardener or whatever could have probably cared for the dog quite well at home, where the dog was secure and felt safe and didn't have to crap all over itself from terror.

He tried that. He told at least one gathering that he "knew" what it was like to be unemployed.

You do know what a station wagon is, don't you?
