The Republican Female Problem
Welcome to 2012 – The Year of the Women. And women are furious. And while Romney may have won last night’s debate, he’s losing women. Take a look inside at a chart from TPM. Look what happened to Romney’s favorability among women once the contraception debate entered the discussion. And make no mistake, this is a debate about contraception. Oh, Republicans are trying to make this about religion, but that’s not going to fly. Why? Because it’s a lie.
I Forgot About The Republican Debate
Just turned it on in time for a question about contraception. The audience booed and howled. Mitt and Newt got all self-righteous. Then Newt asked the moderator why Barack Obama, in 2008, wasn’t asked about his support of infanticide. Oh my! They really have no shame.
Romney Won’t Participate In Pre-Super Tuesday Debate
Mitt Romney will not participate in the Republican presidential primary debate on March 1 in Georgia. ”Governor Romney will be spending a lot of time campaigning in Georgia and Ohio ahead of Super Tuesday,” Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul emails. “With eight other states voting on March 6th, we will be campaigning in other parts of the country and unable to schedule the CNN Georgia debate. We have participated in 20 debates, including 8 from CNN.”
Romney’s Santorum Problem
I understand (sorta-kinda) Republican delegate math. I get that, according to those in the know, that Romney is still the favorite for the nomination, but…
Rick Santorum is now the National frontrunner. If you’re counting, that’s three polls showing Santorum ahead of Romney. He’s also leading in Michigan.
Eugene Robinson Asks “Why Does Mitt Romney Want To Be President?”
Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul have all laid out bold visions — more properly, hallucinations — of where they would take the country. But where is Romney’s shining city on a hill? What’s his “compassionate conservatism,” his “hope and change”? What is it that Mitt Romney, deep in his heart or down in his gut, really believes in?
My Thoughts On Last Night’s GOP Debate
I’ve always known Mitt Romney was going to be the nominee – whether the Republican base wanted him or not. They don’t, btw. That said, he may wrap it up sooner than later. So what happened last night…
Here They Go Again… GOP’s 37,586th Debate
Will Newt bring an ice bucket? Yes, I will be watching, because… because… because… I think I’m waiting for Newt to explode.
Tuesday Open Thread [1.24.12]
![Tuesday Open Thread [1.24.12]](http://images1.dailykos.com/i/user/6/Saul.png "Tuesday Open Thread [1.24.12]")
We got a new poll out of Florida that shows Gingrich up 5. Meanwhile, Republican leaning Rasmussen has President Obama leads Mittens by 2 and Gingrich by 9. We also have an update on the Florida ad war, if you can stomach watching it.
Mitt Romney And Self-Deportation
Romney was asked how he would reconcile his pledge that, as president, he wouldn’t order mass deportations of undocumented immigrants with his promise to crack down on illegal immigration. His answer: “self-deportation.” I guess they’ll just load up their SUV, strap the dog to the top, and go somewhere else.
ANOTHER Republican Debate Open Thread
If you’re watching (NBC at 9pm)… this thread’s for you. Here are my thoughts:
Romney’s been talkin’ tough all day. Tonight he has to bring that trash talk to Newt – as he’s been promising to do all day. My first thought was that Newt would take Mitt’s attacks and shove them back down his throat, and then I thought… maybe not. Okay, hear me out. Mitt Romney absolutely stinks at attacks. His delivery is really, really bad. Perhaps Newt plays the “reasonable” guy staring in amazement at the bumbling lunatic.
About That “Food Stamp President” Thing…
The new thing in GOPland is calling President Obama the “Food Stamp President.” But is it true? No, as with all things, more people were on food stamps under Bush.

I’m busy at work today, so I was only able to find two polls on Florida and not much else. Gingrich is leading in both, and PPP teases that Romney and Gingrich are neck and neck.
Newt Takes The Lead In Florida
I am gobsmacked. Acorrding to a new poll, Gingrich leads with 34.4% to Romney’s 25.6%. Are Floridians really going to go for Newt? It boggles the mind, especially when you look at this.
