Santorum Hits Romney with "Rombo" Ad
The Santorum Surge
Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry....Newt. Ron Paul. Now Rick Santorum..
You see this is much more of an indictment on Mitt Romney than on anything else...
Jeb Bush isn't dumb--he knows how hard it is to defeat an incumbent president running for re-election.

Bad News for Romney / Anti-Obama Folks: US Employment Surges
It's an unfortunate aspect of they hyper partisan political environment present in America these days that this stuff happens, but it's a fact...When America wins, the Republican party is thrown into the incredibly uncomfortable position of seemingly rooting against the country's success, as it the case with this morning's job's report.
Unsurprisingly, Obama's re-election chances on Intrade are surging in real time....

The Romney General Election Strategy: Paint Obama as a "Foreigner"
Well it's pretty clear that it will indeed be Mitt Romney against President Obama in November, and last night in his acceptance speech after winning the New Hampshire primary, voters caught a glimpse of the line of attack Romney and his hordes of well paid political consultants have come up with and will be using against Obama in the general election:And basically, unfortunately, it's this: President Obama isn't really American. He's some strange sounding foreigner who's not only black....but probably doesn't even love America.
Grotesque? Yes. Subtly racist? You bet.
Effective to undecided white voters in Ohio and Florida and across the nation who are under water in their mortgages, under employed or flat out unemployed and looking to blame someone??
Probably.

Kansas House Speaker Won’t Apologize For Praying For Obama’s Death
Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal (R) has apologized for forwarding emails from his personal account referring to First Lady Michelle Obama as “Mrs. YoMama,” but he has not apologized for another email using a Bible verse to essentially call for President Obama’s death. Psalm 109:8 became a conservative meme in 2009 to symbolize making President Obama a one-term President, but it speaks to ending his term of office by ending his life: “Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” The following verse adds “Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.” O’Neal offered his own commentary: “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!”
