Have any of you seen this? Pretty funny!

I saw this pop up on twitter and was wondering where in the world they got the $18,000 number from. It stumps me that this kind of campaign material passes as such in a presidential election.

Love the comments on marathons, my feelings exactly.

I think Gingrich won in SC because records don't matter in elections anymore, we saw that in 2008.What matters is being able to get the average American charged up, and Newt is hitting his stride in that respect. Perhaps Romney was the "shoe in" early on because the people paying attention at that time cared about record, but as more people get involved it will be harder for Romney to stay at the front.

In my opinion, "conservative issues" will be important in 2 years when the mid-terms are up. For now, the focus is just getting a convincing candidate who isn't bent on a socialist utopian view of the world into the White House.

Haha good point, I guess not-Romney would be more appropriate. In general I was referring to conservatives who are not quite on the Romney band wagon yet. I'm one of those conservatives, but is it looney for anyone to not go ahead and jump on the wagon? Hugh Hewitt and John Hinderaker might say it is looney. 

Ben Shapiro is having a field day with this...

This is a point I wholeheartedly agree with, and hinted at less capably in the college feed. We already know Obama can run an allstar campaign, and Romney does not appear to be ready for that.  

It would be more interesting if they took the somebodies (reference to this via Instapundit) out of the loop. Just go on YouTube, let people submit questions, and make a video reply...No Fox no NBC etc.

I might have my head in the clouds though, the conservative interwebs are abuzz with criticism of Gingrich and his latest attacks...

Here-John Hinderaker's arguments

and Here-Allahpundit at HotAir

I recommend reading the first article (from PowerLine) before the second, as it sets the stage of a specific criticism, and the second article provides a few more insights. The subject of these articles is a critique of attacks Gingrich is making on Romney's past experience with Bain Capital. Romney's opponents are trying to paint him (Romney) as a bad guy capitalist, playing into the hands of the Occupy crowd.

Here's an article at Slate that kind of addresses the confusion conservatives have over Gingrich's "new found socialism."

Kind of interesting in relation to comments Santorum made during the NBC debate. He noted that people "who graduate high school, work, and get married before having kids" have a significantly higher rate of success in life than those who are more "progressive". He made the point that Obama's administration rather than focusing on what works, pushes policies that detract from them.

King Prawn, hard to tell if that is really Obama's motive but what you say about liberal society is a great point. It seems like a lot of people have forgotten this and take our free society as a given, not realizing that our human rights are only rights that we can take advantage of if we fight for them.
