#5, then he must not have said what I have read elsewhere that he said.

If Rush thinks Romney is a conservative, he badly needs to get a grip.

Tom, Rush clearly thinks the only two conservatives in the race are Romney and Thompson.

#3, I’m seeing that Rush has said, though I haven’t heard it myself, there’s only one conservative in the race. It’s not Mitt, McCain, Rudy, or Huck. Who’s left?

I held my fire on candidates until learning what Mitt had done to Massachusetts that could very well end up forcing a culture-war surrender. The more I have look, the more obviously beyond the pale it is.

Every single Republican candidate fails some key test, either as a fiscal conservative, a religious one, or otherwise. I’m just having trouble understanding why this is productive – and I see a massive amount of finger pointing, name calling and blame taking place among conservatives.

#1, Other people are doing the number on the Huckster. This post of mine points to one of them, with a supplement from me: Ann Coulter Takes Apart Mike Huckabee The first item at this link IDs a Huck Dealbreaker: Couldnâ€™t Help But Notice (122407) That's enough for now. Huck is not at the Objectively Unfit stage, as is Romney. The other three have varying levels of acceptability.

BizzyBlog has been a flurry of anti-Mitt activity lately – to the point where it almost seems overboard. Now the guy came up short in Iowa, and he’s on the rocks. Might it be time to begin to focus more positively on who can win in November? Is Huck really the business-friendly alternative?

Same issue, really, with Hillary. People on the Right seem to be getting their wish – she’s getting beaten, and arguably defeating herself. There will come a point where talk radio hosts and some bloggers are still fighting yesterday’s enemy, at the expense of smart thinking about the road ahead.
