Mitt

It was fun (and illuminating) to watch the media fawn over Mitt Romney last night. Romney has always been the GOP establishment pick. Nevermind his flip-flopping and his time spent as the Governor of liberal Massachusetts, the GOP establishment sees Mitt as a winner.

While John McCain has earned his keep with the party, moving from an outsider’s position in 2000 to a rally-the-base candidate in 2008, the establishment questions his loyalty. And why shouldn’t they? His loyalty has always been a question since he was released as a POW in Vietnam.

The establishment (and media) have wanted Romney to do well all along. They have known that he flip-flops, but all candidates do, and they can look past that. They see Romney as the candidate who has a real chance to stop the runaway democratic train to the White House, either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Unless the top two democrats self-destruct or destroy one another first, that is.

And they would rather have a “true conservative” (whatever that is) like Mitt Romney, and not a commie-loving centrist like McCain, or a crazy preacher like Mike Huckabee. And they’ve realized that Rudy Giuliani is dead on arrival, even though nine-eleven sells, and sells well; he has too many other skeletons in his closet.
