Word is Mitt is dropping out. Guess his five sons told dear old to stop wasting their inheritance!
Mitt we hardly knew ye’

Marc, you really seem to have an accute sense of timing.
I read through the Sifry piece and the Brownstein column and thought these two essays were quite well done. ANd what do ya know, maybe ‘ol Mitt read’em, too.

A little question, I hope is related: Does the departure of Romney knock a leg out or at least put a crack in the Clinton argument that Democrats have to nominate her because the ‘VRWC’ will generate all sorts of slime and only she is ‘experienced’ enough to fight it? I’d assert that Romney was the most shrill of the GOP candidates and his departing remarks this morning I think are a good example of this point. So now McCain is a virtual lock with the GOP nomination. McCain is widely considered ‘honorable’ even among many Democrats and lots of Independents. Think about some of the comments John Edwards made about McCain in the last debate he participated in. Is Clinton really going to sell us a dirty campaign coming from McCain?

As dishonest (intellectually and every other way) as Mitt Romney has been, I think the guy is really smart and has a lot to offer. I think he is simply a terrible candidate. Why don’t these pundits, who are asking each other why didn’t Romney take control of the primary, acknowledge the obvious. People could see readily that Romney is a tool. He has no common touch at all. I will never forget him greeting a bunch of black kids with:”Who let the dogs out!?” Or his varmint-hunting escapade(s). Or his memories of marching with Martin Luther King, and pulling his car over to cry when grand wizard of Mormons declared that black folks didn’t necessarily carry the Mark of Cain, or that if they did they wouldn’t hold it so much against them anymore….Mitt, we’ll miss you, you would have been so much fun to run against.

Mitt Romney was able to tap his bailed-out banker buddies on Wall Street to the tune of 10 million dollars in one day. In fact, Romney raised 10 million dollars in one day a couple of weeks ago from well-heeled party bigwigs and Wall Street insiders, many of whom ponied up the legal maximum of $2,500 per person (or $5,000 per couple).
