Tuesday News Roundup
February 27th, 2007 by JonThe Boston Globe’s Scott Helman got a hold of an internal Mitt campaign document. Evidently it’s a 77 page PowerPoint presentation. Memo to Mitt Campaign Guys: Haven’t you ever heard of an Executive Summary? End of Memo. There isn’t much new in Helman’s report. Personally, I’d rather see the presentation for myself and find out what Helman didn’t find newsworthy. If anyone cares to send it to me, my contact info is on the sidebar.
The AP’s Liz Sidoti, published in Oklahoma’s New Hope Courier, tries – and fails – to paint Mitt as a shifty politician. Look, Liz, I actually read the position statements and speeches. If you bother to look beyond what the MSM reports, you’d be surprised at how little of your report makes sense.
Canada’s Angus Reid Global Monitor has some polling date out of Utah that says 55% of Utahns believe Mitt’s religion hurts his chances of attaining the Oval Office. Sadly, this is not surprising. Utah, for better or worse, is a religious state where religion and even the degree of religion is always an issue in every campaign. Moving on.
I guess it’s a good thing the campaign is a marathon and not a sprint.
When I started reading Daniel Gross’ Slate piece on Mitt, I thought it was just another run of the mill MSM hit piece on Mitt. Then I came to this paragraph:
So, how are Romney’s flip-flops and business success connected? People suspect, perhaps correctly, that Romney really doesn’t believe all the things he’s saying. His wife, Anne, has multiple sclerosis, yet he’s opposed to embryonic stem-cell research. If an MS treatment derived from embryonic stem cells were to be developed overseas, it’s a pretty sure bet that Romney would use his influence and funds to get that treatment for his spouse.
Memo to Daniel Gross: How dare you, sir. Have you no shame or scruples? How dare you insert yourself into an issue about which you know nothing.  Do you have any proof of your assertion as to what Mitt might do if a treatment became available “overseas� Other than your delusions, my guess is you don’t. That doesn’t stop you from making such an absurd assertion now does it? Your cheap shot at a 40 year marriage lumps you with the lowest of the low – but that’s what I’ve come to expect from you and your Slate buddies.
And finally, today’s “Read The Whole Thing†award goes to talk radio’s luminary Rush Limbaugh. People need to be careful when they go shaking family trees. You never know what’s going to fall out.  Â
