Mitt Romney Fills Illinois Airwaves With Negative Ads

What I find interesting is the weak position the Santorum and Gingrich camps and their various pundits about Romney and his money and organization and how he's been at this for 8 years . . . blah, blah, blah. My question, is this. If Santorum and Gingrich set their sights on running for president (which I assume was something they've always aspired to achieve) then why did they come to the election underfunded, understaffed, underorganized and woefully unprepared? But then they begrudge the person who is fully funded, fully staffed, totally organized, and substantially more prepared then they? And then they want to talk about "fairness"? Which begs the following question. If Santorum and Gingrich had the resources and organizations what would they be doing with those resources and organizations. The answer is simple, they'd be doing the exact same thing that Romney is and wouldn't blink twice about doing it.

It rings as pitifully hollow when Santorum, Gingrich, et al, complain about Romney's machinery. The only ones these people have to blame is themselves. They brought their "B" game to the "A" game championship. And now whine when they discover that they can't win.

Here's my take. Romney will surpass 1144 in May. He will get the nomination. The base will coalesce behind Romney. He will force Obama to stand on his record. He will win the election. He will be the next president of the United States.

However, the best thing American can do is give him a Republican congress to clean-up and undo Obama's cluttered mess. Obama has been a cat with a ball of string left unattended for 4 years. It will take more than a change of president. It will require a Republican Senate, House, and Judicial branch to clean up Obama's mess.
