Quote Of The Day

"Until you have heard major Democratic contenders, you do not realize how many times it is possible to use the word "change" in a single speech. They're in a big fight over who will be the best changer. At one point, Clinton, sounding like a veteran toll booth attendant, said, "I've been making change for 35 years." (Dave Barry)

Mitt Romney's Mormon Jesus

From an article by Chris Kelly:

Because here's the thing that Mitt Romney can't say: The Mormon Jesus has about as much in common with Jesus of Nazareth as the Los Angeles Kings have with King Tut. They have the same name, kind of, and that's it.

The Gospel Jesus lived in Galilee. The Mormon Jesus lived in Albany. (Where he fought the Indians. Because he wasn't just the Lamb of God, he was also the Last of the Mohicans.) Mormon Jesus? Three wives, a planetful of kids. Gospel Jesus? Living alone and loving it.

It doesn't even have the theological weight to be heresy; it's a simple case of mistaken identity.

Quotable Quote

"But there's something that seems plastic or artificial about Romney. He's almost a robotic CEO type. Whereas someone like Huckabee is what people expected Thompson to be and what he hasn't turned out to be, so far--someone who's real down-home and personable. He's just someone you'd be comfortable sitting in a cafe having a cup of coffee with."
~ Dennis Goldford, professor of politics at Drake University in Des Moines

What They're Saying About The Values Voter Straw Poll

I recently wrote about Mike Huckabee's amazing victory at the Values Voter Straw Poll in which he received more votes from those attending than did all of the other candidates combined. Here is what others are saying . . .

"But for the people that actually voted onsite, it was no contest. Huckabee won 488 votes to Romney’s second place 99. That’s called a thumpin’.... The story today is Huckabee." (David Brody, at CBN News)

"So Mitt really did bomb. And I mean, *really* bombed. Huckabee got 51%. Romney got 10%. That's second, but there are miles between Huckabee and Romney." (J.P. Freir, at Politalk)

"The FRC Action Straw Poll confirms that Mike Huckabee is the big winner here today.... Huckbee got 488 votes for an absolute majority out of the 19 candidates (all the Dems and GOP'ers) on the straw poll ballot (51.25%). Romney received 99 votes. What makes that even bigger news is that several sources connected to the FRC Action Washington Briefing have said Romney brought in "around 100" people to participate and assist." (Erick Erickson, at RedState)

"Huckabee blew Romney out of the water--51 percent to 10 percent. Everybody who was at the conference saw how Huckabee wowed the room. It will be really hard for Christian leaders meeting this weekend to choose Romney as their candidate for pragmatic reasons when it's so obvious that Huckabee is the choice of their base." (Philip Klein, at The American Spectator)

"Among voters who showed up for the speeches, Huckabee won 51 percent--a 41 point landslide over Romney." (David Weigel, of Reason Magazine)

"...Huckabee beat Romney by a five-to-one margin." (Michael Kranish, in the Boston Globe)

"Mike Huckabee was a success in the room. He clearly won the straw poll, etc. He clearly won the speech. And he clearly won the day." (Soren Dayton, from Eyeon08)

Monday Night & Time For Quotes

Whenever I feel bad, I go to the library and read controversial periodicals. though I do not know whether I am a liberal or a conservative, I am nevertheless enlivened by the hatred which one bears the other. In fact, this hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world.
~ A character in Walker Percy's novel The Moviegoer. page 100

If liberty and equality, as is thought by some are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in the government to the utmost.
~ Aristotle, in The Politics

From the start of his presidential bid, Mitt Romney has seemed unsure of his political identity. As governor of Massachusetts, he embraced the right to choose, paved the streets with health care, and hired illegal immigrants to mow his lawn. After climbing into the phone booth of the Republican primaries, however, mild-mannered Mitt emerged a new man—lifetime NRA member, xenophobe, pro-life, and anti-rabbit. Mitt Romney is the Jay Gatsby of American politics—a fiction within a fiction who was born in the Midwest, made his fortune in the East, and never stops reinventing himself to impress those he meets along the way.
~ Bruce Reed, in Slate

The morning after this week’s Republican debate in New Hampshire, five of the 10 lesser contenders found themselves on the same early morning flight from Manchester to Washington. Sleep-deprived and grumpy that they hadn’t gotten their fair share of camera time, they wondered: if something happened to the plane, how would the media report the news? They settled on this formulation: Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney campaigned in New Hampshire today, and by the way, five of the other candidates perished in an airliner.
~ Eleanor Clift, in God and Mike Huckabee

Romney takes postures, not positions....there isn't the slightest hint of courage or conviction in his stump act.

For almost three years, arguably longer, conservative Bush supporters have felt like sufferers of battered wife syndrome.
