Romney announced that he plans to make cuts, but won't say what he'll be cutting...until after the election. Or as NYMag in a pisser put it best: One of the things I have found in previous elections is that announcing my plans makes people want to vote against me! http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/03/mitt-i-wont-detail-plans-because-then-id-lose.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nymag%2Fintel+%28Daily+Intelligencer+-+New+York+Magazine%29

Why? Because Pelosi told America that Obamacare must be passed and we'll find out what's in it later. So there's nothing wrong with Romney telling us after the election. It's fair.

This could change of course... Women swing to Obama Women have helped push President Obama into his most significant lead yet over Republican front-runner Mitt Romney, according to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll published on Sunday. It shows the president leading Romney 51 percent to 42 percent among registered voters in swing states.
According to the poll of 933 registered voters, women under 50 have swung over to Obama – from half of this group of February to more than 60 percent, while their support of Romney has dropped 14 points to 30 percent.
"The focus on contraception has not been a good one for us … and Republicans have unfairly taken on water on this issue,” USA Today quotes Sara Taylor Fagen, a Republican strategist and former political adviser to former president George W. Bush, as saying.
According to the poll 41 percent of women identify as Democrats and just 24 percent as Republicans.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

I must have dozed off, but evidently Mad Men made a reference to George Romney (Mitt's father), former Governor of Michigan. Thing is, for anyone who watches the show, I'm not certain at all the Don Draper would be a Democrat??  Oh, for those who do NOT know, the show takes place in the 60's. As a matter of fact there was a scene in which Draper and a co-worker were at a Stones concert with the intention of getting the stones to do a commercial. Nostalgic of the times for those of us who lived thru that era.  TIS http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arch...mad-men/255336/

It was a good day for Mitt but I don't think anyone was surprised by his wins. Hearing Santorum's speech, he's like the "energizer bunny"...he's going on and on and on.  Although, I guess I can't blame him for waiting at least until his home state of PA has their primary. Yet, even if he does win it, so what? TIS

By EMILY SCHULTHEIS | 4/5/12 11:17 AM EDT The Center for Health Transformation, Newt Gingrich's health care think tank, has filed for bankruptcy, via the Huffington Post:
The Center for Health Transformation, which Gingrich launched in 2003, plans to liquidate its assets. According to the Washington Post, the group collected at least $37 million from health care insurers, pharmaceutical companies and other industry groups over the last eight years, reportedly offering access to Gingrich among other incentives.
In its bankruptcy filing, the think tank listed estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million.
The signs that Newt Inc. was struggling have been there for a while now -- the Newt non-profit American Solutions for Winning the Future folded last June.

Does anyone think there is any chance Mitt will pick Ryan for a VP choice? TIS In Ryan's dreams. I think he picks someone from Virginia or some other "swing state." It is remotely possible he could pick Santorum believe it or not.

I see your point Oli, but something tells me Romney will not choose a female. I'm thinking Rubio. TIS Rubio has stated most definitively that he will not accept a VP invitation. However, he is a politician.

You know Christie too said he was not interested and yet I hear he is making an overseas trip. Many point out that it may because he wants some kind of "foreign" knowledge/experience. I am beginning to wonder if, with the political climate the way it is today, IF all these potentials (ie Christie, Jeb Bush, Rubio) really DO want to wait until 2016. Just a thought TIS

Just a thought TIS TIS, their being suggested as a VP running mate and keeping up that profile does help them if they are looking forward to 2016. In anticipation of winning a 2016 bid, Christie is going to Europe to check out its restaurants.

While it may be a close race, they see Obama as almost certainly the winner. So they'll hold back another 4 years and then jump in when it's wide open again.
