There just wasn’t much worth posting about yesterday.

Some in the MSM are surprised at the incentives Mitt is offering to those willing to work for his campaign.  Via MyManMitt comes this information.  If you bring in cash to Mitt’s coffers, he gives you a 10% commission.  This will no doubt raise some liberal eyebrows.  That’s to be expected.  They don’t understand capitalism.

Forbes’ Evelyn Rusli quotes Mitt on the American Dream.  Short and to the point.

Journal Chrétien’s Chad Groening finds a few former Democratic operatives who think Mitt’s religion is hurting his campaign.  Gee, Chad, what exactly were you expecting them to say?

The Baltimore Sun’s Bruce Wilson hops on the bandwagon of those who want Mitt to hold the equivalent of a Friday night Fireside to “openly discuss” his religion – one Wilson, Mitt, and I happen to share.  Memo to Bruce:  This is a political race, not a theological one.  JFK did little more than persuade people he wouldn’t be a pawn to Rome – he didn’t open himself up to a debate on the theological stance of the Catholic Church.  In many ways Mitt has already followed the trail blazed by Kennedy.  You may have already gotten all you’re going to get.

Howlin’ Mad Howie Dean’s Mitt Hit Man Damien LaVera has quoted himself yet again. He says “Smooth Talking” Mitt isn’t ready for Prime Time.  Memo to Damien:  Oh reaaallly?  Is that why you’re wasting so much time, effort, energy and money taking shots at him?  Methinks thou dost presume thyself far too smart.  How many times a day do you Google yourself, Damien?  Do you ever quote anyone but yourself?

Further proof that you can’t please everyone all the time.

Some people are just overly sensitive.  They lie in wait, itching to be offended – or even better yet waiting for some whining special interest group or person to be offended.  The Boston Herald’s Dave Wedge managed to find a few people in South Florida who took offense at Mitt’s use of Spanish phrase much beloved to Cuba’s dictator in chief Fidel Castro.  You’ll note the Herald’s creative use of Photoshop.  Makes one wonder about the howls of protest which would be heard if anything similar were ever done to a liberal democrat’s picture.  Mitt’s even getting “friendly” fire from Firecracker Michelle Malkin who has declared “the Romney Campaign: Not yet ready for primo tiempo”.

Memo to Michelle:  If you’re going to take a shot at a candidate in a language which he attempted to use and you have not, at least make sure your syntax is correct before you press the publish button.  No, I’m not going to tell you where your error is.  You figure it out.  End of memo.

Capitol Weekly’s Anthony York attempts to make a big deal about the non-meeting of the Governator and Mitt last week.  Anthony, it’s a long campaign cycle.  California’s 52 electoral votes guarantee Mitt will re-visit the state many times before the primary.  Get over it.

Utah Senator Orrin Hatch has endorsed Mitt.  Important endorsement, but no surprises here.

Howlin’ Mad Howie Dean and Mitt will be in Omaha next month.  I wonder who will be remembered best.

Dave Wedge is listed as the Chief Enterprise Editor for the Boston Herald.  His chronicle of Mitt’s St. Patrick’s day visit with Don Imus proves that even editors need editors.  His first paragraph is completely nonsensical and makes the reader think Imus asked Mitt to jump off McCain’s bandwagon.  That and Wedge’s “Top o’ the Mormon” jab just shows Wedge is anything but serious.  Perhaps we should ask him if he was drinking while writing.  Wouldn’t be the first time for a Boston journalist.

When I came across a reference to this Slate piece from the boys at Article VI, I had but one conclusion.  The author must be female.  Why did I come to this conclusion? (and by the way I was correct in my assumption) Because no self-respecting guy would ever have the audacity to question another guy about what he does with his underwear.  That is an unspoken yet universally understood tenet of guydom – Mormon or otherwise.  Guys don’t ask because guys really don’t want to know.  Kind of makes me wonder if there are any real guys over at Slate.  Perhaps Michelle Tsai would care to regale us with her “unmentionable” habits.  Care to elaborate, Michelle?

The New Hampshire News Leader publishes Michael Moffett’s reasons why he jumped from McCain’s side to Mitt’s.

The AP’s Glen Johnson says Mitt is “scrambling” for cash.  Now there’s a surprise.  Elections are won and lost with money, Glen.  And, by the way, I wouldn’t call raising close to $8 million in less than three months a “scramble”.  Nice try.

CBN’s David Brody comments on Mitt’s nailing down of the “Mr. Nice Guy” title.  Nice guys do finish first every now and then.

The San Francisco Chronicle’s Carla Marinucci reports on Mitt’s plan to “register” the some 12 million illegal immigrants.  No doubt some civil liberties immigrant “rights” whiners will begin to bunch their undies.  Think about this for a second – how many ways are you registered with the Federal, State, and Local government?  If this is required as a citizen, shouldn’t it be required of those living among us?  And just to further annoy the far-right on the issue of immigration, no it isn’t feasible to just deport 12 million people.  That’s reality.  Try living there sometime.

Article VI Blog’s very own Lowell Brown reviews Blogfather Hugh’s book for Meridian Magazine.  Not bad for a lawyer. (kidding, Lowell, kidding!)

Some guy at Kos says the sky is falling.  He wants Mitt to stop it.  Someone should tell him Mitt doesn’t own Bain Capital anymore.  Yeah, he might get invited to the company picnic every few years, but he’s long since moved on.  If Daulton doesn’t want another “bile and insult” radio station in Columbus, there’s a simple way to do that.  Don’ listen to it.  No listeners = no ratings = no station.  Oh, wait, I forgot most of the Kossaks don’t understand basic economics.

And finally today, sometimes it really pays to research the subject on which you report.  Somebody please forward this memo to the Washington Blade’s Elizabeth Perry.  If you’ve never heard of the Washington Blade, you’re not alone.  Evidently its DC’s gay lifestyle newspaper.  Perry wrote a piece on Mitt where she detailed his proposed policies on homosexual issues and she also went to some effort to quote LDS Church sources – including one from Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City.  She also quoted one David Melson, a former member who now heads up a Gay advocacy group in DC.  Melson’s LDS Church bona fides include these details:
