Barbara Bush Campaigns for Romney in “Super Tuesday” states

In a way, this robo-call says it all. Can you imagine Barbara Bush agreeing to do a robo-call for Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich? Can you? There is no way she’d ever do it. After all, the woman has class. Yes, she is a dutiful Republican, but she’d never go the extra mile — make a robo-call, of all things! — unless it were for a candidate who merits her considerable influence.
And Donald Trump did the same for Mitt Romney:
FROM FLOP-FLIPPER (a comment posted by him last night that is worth reading, as are many more comments by so many people here):
I wrote and posted this somewhere else and hope no one minds if I repeat myself. It’s one of those first thing in the morning, coffee fueled moments that seem to escape me as the day wears on.
I’m guessing that popcorn sales have risen sharply in the past few days. This is going to be one interesting night. And regardless of how favorably Romney does, there will be jabs from the left and right, the same wild accusations, the same media lies, the same dirty tricks. But the voters’ disgust with these attacks will also harden and their effectiveness diminish.
If Santorum comes up short and his prospects and money dry up, I’m wondering if he will stay true to his claim that he is a team player and take one for the team? Or will he continue on like some petulant child, crying foul at every turn and making alliances with Dems that know Romney is the hardest guy to beat. Because despite the modest improvements in the economy and the loud chorus of cloned Democrats claiming that this miniscule wave of change is a Tsunami in disguise, most Americans know in their hearts, minds and most especially their pocketbooks that things are tough all over. And this President just doesn’t get it.
This country needs a real leader, a proven leader with actual experience leading and turning things around. We’ve all seen enough of candidates that make wild claims and pandering promises. Fancy words don’t solve problems, regardless of how well and supposedly impassioned they are spoken.
Of all the candidates running in either party that leaves only one man standing. And the sooner Republicans nationwide realize this, the sooner everyone can coalesce, get the game plan solidified and start this wonderful process of removing the current President from office.
Important admonitions, FF. Thanks to the likes of Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, most Americans now view the Republican primary contest with derision. Who can blame them.
The Republicans were given a priceless opportunity to defeat a weak president. But instead of putting President Obama’s failings and lack of qualifications front and center, candidates like Santorum (him especially) have dragged the entire party into the mud.
Santorum et al. have damaged the party so much that, instead of keeping the focus on saving our country from four more years of Obama, the ultimate nominee will have to scramble to get the focus back on Obama, and to turn around the depressing negatives that poll after poll shows.
Little Ricky, this primary is — shock! — not all about you. In fact, for a guy who loves to lecture all of us about being a good Christian, you are just about the least Christian man I’ve ever seen. That’s because satisfying your ego, and trying to destroy anyone in your path, matter more to you than doing what is best for your country which, guess what, may require you to be a humble man who can accept defeat with the kind of class that a woman like Barbara Bush surely sees that you do not possess.
