Friday News Roundup – The Day After

December 7th, 2007 by Jon

As always, the Article VI Boys have the best post-speech reaction coverage. Put plainly, if John and Lowell don’t link to what you have to say about Mitt’s speech, you don’t matter.

Blogfather Hugh has an excellent summary of the Speech.

Charles Krauthammer, writing at NRO, warms up the semi-truck and runs over Mike Huckabee. Huck has made spectacularly bad use of the religion card lately and it will come back to haunt him. Krauthammer’s column wins today’s “Read The Whole Thing” award, but I’ll just quote is closing statement:

I suspect that neither Jefferson’s Providence nor Washington’s Great Author
nor Lincoln’s Almighty would look kindly on the exploitation of religious
differences for political gain. It is un-American.

Well said, Charles. Amen.

Speaking of the Huckabee campaign, the Article VI’s Lowell overheard an interesting post-speech conversation in College Station between a Romney aide and a reporter that bears repeating:

The Romney aide was looking at his Blackberry and said, “The response is
amazing. I can’t believe who I am getting e-mails from.”

Reporter (with a twinkle in his eye): “Is there one from the Huckabee
campaign?”

Romney aide (laughing): “No, but what would they be saying right
now?”

Reporter: “Damn!”

Damn indeed.

RedState’s Jason Bonham has some reports pointing to a “Tacit Anti-Mormon” campaign by Team Huck. I’ll have more to say about this next week, but basically its time for Huck to “man up” and say what he thinks. The waffle is well done now.

US News’ James Pethokoukis talks economics with Mitt.

I agree with RightWingSparkle. Lets stop the silliness and get to it.

PoliticalDerby’s SA Kalinich just doesn’t get it. The posts are barely intelligible and not worthy of commentary.

  1. Deseret Dawg Says:

    While I support Ron Paul, I think Mitt Romney gave a well-balanced speech in which e emphasized the common denominator of Jesus Christ rather than the unique aspects of LDS theology. If Paul doesn’t get the nomination, I could support Romney. Anything to keep the Hun out of the White House.

    BTW, the infamous Tricia Erickson’s at it again. She took a cheap shot a Romney, published December 6th in OneNewsNow. ONN seems to give excessive bandwidth to anti-Mormons. Further discussed on Voice Of Deseret.
