The newly launched Politico has come up with an earth shattering revelation about Mitt.  He made a donation to a Democratic congressman some 15 years ago in the amount of [drumroll] $250.  To add to the controversy, the now former Congressman is a [gasp] Mormon.  The nutters are out wondering if Mitt supports Mormons over Republicans.  Memo to Politico:  This. Is. Not. News.  You don’t cite anything else but the amount of money and the religion involved.  If this is the best you can do, your website will have a short and ignominious life.

Back from his trip to Israel, Mitt’s off to address the Rotary Club of Aiken.  Talk about speaking to a wide spectrum.

While in Israel, Mitt called for economic sanctions on Iran “at least as severe” as those imposed on South Africa during the time of Apartheid.  He also called on Arab nations to Said Mitt:

These states can do much more than wring their hands and urge America to act. They should support Iraq’s nascent government. They can help America focus on Iran by quickly turning down the temperature of the Arab-Israeli conflict — stopping the financial and weapons flows to Hamas and Hezbollah, thawing relations with Israel and telling the Palestinians they must drop terrorism and recognize Israel’s right to exist.

And, in a short memo to Iran, he stated:

The military option remains on the table.

People can say what they want about “Smooth Talking” Romney.  His telegraphed message to the middle east thugs shows no sign of Kerry-like nuance.

And the endorsements keep rolling in.  Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert has endorsed Mitt’s candidacy.  Pundits see it as a backhanded slap at John McCain.  I’ll leave the analysis to them.  Welcome aboard, Denny.

CBN’s David Brody found another YouTube clip featuring a bunch of “pro-life” supporters protesting Mitt’s candidacy as they are joined by a supporter of Sam Brownback.  Memo to David: Your point?

I’m off to watch the State of the Union.  See you here tomorrow.
