Actually, they were mentioned on "CBS This Morning" -- they even played the tape -- in the context of Romney's remarks.

A Note on Romney

I predicted several days ago that, as events continue to expose Romney as incompetent, that he may start to feel some pressure to withdraw (yes, I DO get tired of being right all the time! )

Is Kristol's remark mere wishful thinking from a leader of the conservatives (who NEVER trusted Romney anyway)?

Or, as the GOP sees its dream of defeating Obama slipping away, is Kristol dropping a HINT???

Is this a whisper that will turn into a roar???

Republicans, conservatives, TPers, Paulistas, libertarians... how many of you want Romney to step aside?


Bill Kristol is a nobody in the GOP, which is why he does things just like this. He is like a spoiled child who is kicking and screaming for someone to pay attention to him. He has been irrelevant ever since he was the one who pushed Palin on McCain. The GOP has a long memory and when he did that and someone was stupid enough to listen and it blew up in their faces, he was cast aside. He is an idiot and a dufus who nobody listens to anymore.

If Romney is such a screw up, you should be thrilled to have him stay in the race.

It seems like each day Romney says something or something comes out that further paints him as some sort of out of touch millionaire. Unfortunately, this is in turn negating his best asset namely his business experience enabling him to be able to turn the economy around.
Yes, you can comfortably way that because neither were nominated. Are you so bind to think that New Gingrich's personal baggage wouldn't have been exploited by the left? He's a right wing, adulterer, big headed nut job remember?

Romney is a good a decent man. He helped terminally ill children long before he ran for public office for Gods sake!

The liberal media does what it does. I actually felt bad for Hillary when she ran...

In fact I don't think the media has a good track record with female politicians.

So, now there's another "video" of Romney that coincidently slipped out. What's with all the inflammatory videos this week?

Everything seems to be a happy coincidence with the Obama campaign.

So... Another video that was taped months ago that coincidently surfaces when Obama's foreign policy record is under threat..

If people are too naive to see the politics behind this, then I will say, as a patriotic conservative, then Americans are truly the stupidest people in the world.
Of course there is politics behind it.

Rather delicious politics:

My goodness! You'd think we're in the middle of a Presidential election or something.

Mr. Romney is supposed to be president. He told us so.
