Romney Continues to Roll at New Hampshire Debate

Former Massachusetts governor cruises as Perry, others miss key chances to strike back

[Check out political cartoons about the 2012 GOP presidential field.]

But while it's in the individual interests of the more conservative candidates to pick away the support from each other, those who loathe the thought of a Romney presidency only want to see them give Romney the all-around assault that, so far, he is avoiding. Romney is one lucky man.

It's difficult to know what Perry believes when he's not given any time to speak. All the candidates, Bachmann, Santorum, Huntsman were pushed aside so that Cain and Romney could deliver their monologues.

Each of them were allowed to rebutt anytime their name was mentioned. When Perry attempted to after Romney made his snide remark about health care in Texas, he was brushed aside to let Romney continue to talk, and then the mod quickly went on to the next question.

IMHO, Cain is just being used as an attack dog for Romney and to take votes from Perry, the former frontrunner, with the MSM enablding this (as evidenced by the last debate). Once Cain has finished his job he was brought in to to do, he'll be dumped as "too extremist" or something to that end.

He's no conservative, nor is Romney. Both are flip flop kings. (Google: (Almost Anyone but Cain) to see his. Both are RINO's with Romney completely changing from a uber liberal (more left than Kennedy at one time) to being a "conservative". Fat chance he'll do anything different.

The unknowing public are being duped. As usual.

Romney Can Not Win in A General Election

It is doubtful that Mitt Romney will be able to secure the Republican nomination; it will be impossible for Mitt Romney to win the General Election. Mitt's problem is that he only appeals to a certain segment of the G.O.P establishment, mainly the hardcore neocons who don't make his religion an issue (a very small segment). The rest of the G.O.P establishment will probably hold their noses and support Romney if it comes down to choosing the best puppet but getting the support of the larger piece of the pie ("real" conservatives, Libertarians, Independent voters, Christian conservatives, Tea Party people, and even Democrats) will simply not happen for Romney, no matter how much worse Obama gets. The voters will reject a plastic, mealy-mouth bobblehead like Romney and the sooner his handlers realize this, the better off our country will be. Romney is running for president for all the wrong reasons. He has convinced himself that he MUST be president and that he is the supreme businessman, when in reality he is only an empty suit. Chris Christy will eventually abandon Romney when he begins his downward spiral in the next two months; after Ron Paul rolls over him with a steamroller of support in Iowa and New Hampshire. The G.O.P establishment needs to come to its senses that if Romney somehow wins the nomination, he will hand the election over to Obama.

Romney continued to avoid offering any realistic economic solutions at New Hampshire Debate and the media continues to give Romney a pass on any critical analysis. Nonetheless Romney put a stake in the heart of the Tea Party by repeating his support of TARP and TARP 2 if necessary.

Romney came out in support of the TARP bank bailouts and refused to not bailout the banks again, as we all know Romney is Wall Street's candidate.

Did you see that all media analysis is basically ignoring Ron Paul, while the new media darling is the Federal Reserve exec and Koch employee, Herb Cain.

Romney is a phony on economic solutions and this debate on economic issues was a joke.
