Entering into Radio Silence

++I will be off for a few days. I have already lost one post because of the new Google design so I'll keep this short or else see some more work eaten by the Googlemonster.


++The President was in Roswell and said that,"I announced to people when I landed that I came in peace." 


++Some wag said that the Republicans have a new 4G network--God, Guns, Gays and Gynecology.


++George W.Bush today is more popular than Mitt Romney.


++Rick Santorum said you are better off with what you got with President Obama than taking a risk with the Etch-A-Sketch man.


++Romney's spokesperson tweeted today--after Etch-A-Sketch's stock rose, he would mention "Mr. Potato Head next". The problem with this is that also sticks to his candidate.


++President Obama has a 55 to 38 lead over Mitt Romney with women. Remember 53% of women for Obama gives him the election.


++James Carville said the Obama campaign was not worried about Mitt Romney but about events. "Romney cannot beat Obama ,only events can beat Obama."


++The New Hampshire Legislature, which is controlled by the Tea Party, upheld the same-sex marriage law. 


++We are heading into the big Health Care saga at the Supreme Court. Almost feel I should not write about the arguments for fear of jinxing it.


++Jeb Bush is pushing Romney to select Marco Rubio as Vice President. Jeb knows the GOP is doomed if it gets even less Hispanic vote this year than in 2008. But Marco has a lot of baggage for someone so young. He has hired private detectives to conduct opposition research on him. Frankly, I think it would be better if they waited a few more years. 


++Karl Rove is at it again. He writes in the Wall Street Journal that Obama getting bin Laden was no big deal, any commander in chief would have done the same thing. You'll recall at the time all the Bushies claiming that Obama was only following the leads produced  by enhanced interrogation under George W. Rove misquotes Bill Clinton from the Obama campaign documentary to seem to make his point.


++This is the leitmotif of this year's campaign--Denigrate President Obama, de-legitimize his achievements and hope that lightening strikes.  The other thing to this campaign that the Obama people must watch out for is that these attacks on him are to make him lose his cool, something McCain was dying to do in 2008. Instead, we have Romney lose his cool and take a tape-recorder away from a reporter because he didn't like the questions.


++My last passing note is that Romney at a rally in Maryland said that it wasn't Obama that saved America from another Depression it was George W. Bush. I'm not sure that message will resonate far.
