In an utterly boring Republican presidential debate tonight, Mitt Romney hit the home run that he has needed to assure the conservative, Republican base why he is the best one to unify the old Reagan coalition and be the GOP nominee for president.
The MSNBC debate was "moderated" by Tim Russet and Brian Williams. One would think that they would know how to ask questions that ramp up Republicans, but, oh I forgot. It was Tim Russert and Brian Williams!
By and large all the candidates held their own. Ron Paul needs to join Democrat presidential drop-out Dennis Kucinich on the mothership and leave, but he will not. Too bad.
But the night belonged to Mr. Romney.
He showed that he would be the right candidate in times of economic distress to lead the nation. His answer concerning the so-called stimulus plan was correct. Don't just hand out a rebate check-lower taxes!
It is just the fact that Mr. Romney is reassuring and really talks about the best that America is and that the best days are ahead. Sounds a lot like another Republican, Ronald Reagan.
And, once again, Sen. John "F--- You" McCain shows why REPUBLICANS DO NOT like him!
Lecturing us on global warming from the left-wing, Al Gore perspective is not going to win a lot of Republican votes. And yes, we know. You do not like former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. But, again, that does not bode well for Republicans. Yes, he made mistakes, but Mr. Rumsfeld was proactive and tried. It is very easy from the peanut gallery to pillory Mr. Rumsfeld. But, Sen. "F--- You" McCain, we should leave that to Democrats.
But, I want to be positive to the erstwhile Solon. He seemed a little less wound tight. A little more down to earth. And, maybe that will help among some people.
Mayor Rudy, I am afraid to say, did no better than an adequate job. But, I believe that he may be in second place in Florida come Tuesday evening.
The former Arkansas governor, the Rev. Mike Huckabee is comic relief. And that is all. He is a lightweight-in all ways!
And, I already said enough about Ron Paul.
This debate showed why I have been on the Romney bandwagon from the beginning. If Fred Thompson ran like Mr. Romney, he would be the Republican front runner. Instead, he is in Tennessee.
Mr. Romney was in command, statesmanlike and knew what he was talking about. And, once again he handled another moronic question about his Mormon faith deftly.
I think that tonight if many watched, they saw the Republican presidential nominee, and that is Mitt Romney. And Tuesday night, the Republican voters of Florida will give Mr. Romney another gold medal. And 57 delegates.

Hmmm.. I actually thought they all did well, except for Paul who is just a non-entity. Like you, I have no idea why he is still up and running. Interesting that in these parts there are a few Romney placards and a ton of Paul placards gracing our streets. Go figure. And I was proud that they didn't to Hillary tactics and that they were civil. I actually came out of it thinking any of them would be fine, save Paul.
