Urban Poverty Law Center Predicted Mitt's South Carolina Loss Jan 11th!

Tooting one's own horn when it is connected to a red Ford Shelby GT 500 mustang with a supercharged 550 horsepower 5.4 litre (sophisticated European spelling only when I am feeling braggadocios as today) engine is icing on the cake of accolades.

I read my post on Jan 11, 2012, and having just a touch of dementia, marveled at my creation! Today's post is the challenge for all 50 of my readers today to re read that post which says "Mitt Romney will not play well in Dixie. We may talk funny down here in the South, but we can spot phony a mile away. Mitt is phony........"

That post was damn near a prediction of Mitt's loss of South Carolina. I did not know who would beat Romney, but only that he would not win a truly southern state.

But Jack, Florida polls show Mitt Romney leading in that southern state. Aw yes, green grasshopper, real southerners have realized Florida has not been a part of Dixie since the civil war when first it was overrun with Yankees, and they kept coming down in droves, driven out of New York and New Jersey, and Michigan by a combination of thinning blood, thinning skin, thinning hair and harsh winters. Florida is politically a northern state in the sunshine belt. The natives are outnumbered by the carpetbaggers who like to wear plaid shorts and play shuffleboard with their hideously fluorescent white legs exposed for all to see. Many of them keep their numbskulled union ideals of liberalism and socialism as they drink from the government troughs of social security and medicare.

Mitt Romney could win Florida without winning a southern state.

Congratulations Newt Gingrich. You have won a state on the strength of your vision and your golden oratory skills. The challenges you will face from an ever increasingly hostile press shall be herculean. They hate you now for your daring to call them out on the hit piece about the open marriage. John King and CNN had their balls handed to them by you last Thursday night in South Carolina. You are less likely to get hurt playing with a wasp and hornet teaser than messing with the vindictive people who sell satellite transmission waves by the millions! Get ready for them to double down on the attacks.
They are going to go Palin on you!

Keep your cool. Save your off the cuff rants for your closest staff and confidants only. Be sure you are off mike if you say anything that can be used against you. To be certain you are now the big fish in the little barrel and all the major media monsters would like the bragging rights as the one who bagged Newt Gingrich. I'll even bet there is a million dollar reward for the reporter who can scoop the story or scandal that sinks the Newt juggernaut!

Be very, very careful. Trust no one. Keep your huge ego in check until Jan 20, 2013 and all will be well. Confident and humble plays well. Thank your creator at each speech. The media hate that. It is like garlic to vampires, the constitution to Barack Obama, water to a house cat, soap to Willie Nelson, intellect to Lindsay Lohan; must I persist with the endless similes? Just be sure to thank God and open each presser with a short prayer. That will kill them!

A prayer that is useful in dealing with the demons of the media or any demons is: "Keep thee behind me Satan, in the name of Jesus Christ my lord and savior." This should be repeated in your head or whispered when the satanic attack begins. I have seen it work on seriously violent schizophrenics on more than one occasion. It should work well on the mildly delusional press corps!

If you need me to be your Karl Rove, I can free up my calender. I am probably the smartest political operative without a doubt in Cedar Grove.

One last little bit of advice, Newt. What ever you do in Florida, make sure no one gets a photo of you playing shuffleboard in plaid shorts with your pasty white legs exposed for all to see. That is a deal breaker! Just trust me on this one. You look better with your clothes on to everybody but Callista.

Good luck, Newt. Good luck Rick. Mitt needs to shake a few more skeletons out of the closet if he wants to be a contender. The South has a great nose for phony. We haven't trusted anybody from north of the Mason-Dixon line since 1861. Our relatives lived through the Reconstruction, remember. We sure as hell do.

Can A Man Named Willard Win, Say It Ain't So Rick

I am not going to pile on Mitt Romney. I have already done that in a posting in which I ask, is a man named Willard electable?
I answer it that even Millard Filmore's parents intuited the answer as a great big fat "NO!"

Willard's Iowa 25% is a huge rejection of his insider big R republican bonafides, conservatives and tea party affiliates find objectionable. If the field narrows and the bottom tier caucus vote getters bow out, these voters will naturally go for the only outsider small R republicans left standing. Splitting the conservative vote allows the country club coalition of republican insiders
to coalesce around Willard giving him his best chance at a nomination a la Juan McCain's disappointing capture of the 2008 nomination which ensured the coronation of King Teleprompt of Hawaii, Indonesia, or Kenya, take your pick.

I like Bachmann, the beautiful, Gingrich, the terrible, Paul, the unelectable, Perry, the lovable dope, Huntsman, the invisible candidate, and Santorum, the Rick, who draws a distinction between himself and King Teleprompt by refusing to speak from a teleprompter. I do not cotton to Willard Romney, the big business as usual insider candidate, who will put King Teleprompt Care off the table in the election this year. This is a wedge issue, a very big one. Republicans do not need to give up this to the Baritone in Chief.

I penned an article back in the archives where I suggested Sarah Palin could win as a third party candidate. I still believe this.
If Willard wins the republican coronation and is up against the King, they would split about 58% of the vote and Palin would garner 39 to 44% of the vote, a hard number for either Willard or the King to overcome. I believe Willard's base is about 20% and the King could only garner 38-40%.

The King won last time with 53% of the popular vote. He got all of the independent voters swayed by a supportive media and the 41% of the nation who claim to be democrat, which includes about 12% conservative democrats. Palin would take the independents 14% plus the Reagan Democrats, 12%, plus half the hard core republicans 18% to give her the numbers for a win.

Ross Perot pulled 19% away from George H. W. Bush in 1992 v Bill Clinton giving Clinton an astounding 41% win! Sarah Palin is no Ross Perot. She is a darling of the tea party and a well vetted and major media bugaboo who has weathered blistering attacks against her intellect and her family.

Can a candidate named Willard win the presidency? No, but Sarah can.

I hope the inevitability of a Willard Run is derailed by Rick Santorum. It would signal the first time in 20 years the republicans have not offered a sacrificial candidate in elections against democrat presidential incumbents.

If Willard is the candidate, Run Sarah, Run! If Rick Santorum is the candidate, Stand down Sarah, Stand down! If the King dumps Biden as VP, and slips Hillary Clinton into the number two slot, Rick should beg Palin or Bachmann to be the number two.

Fresh and beautiful will always win out over stale and ugly. Ask any marketing executive. I do not think the King would ask Hillary to be number 2 since he would have to watch his back given the Clinton's tendencies to have great luck in unexpected deaths around them that seem to only further their political ambitions and never harm them. Ron Brown comes to mind and the fellow who died in prison who was the Whitewater operative in a failed two-bit land deal in Arkansas, who was that fellow? I can see his gloriously bald head and his doomed face but can't seem to recall his name. And that blond wife of his? So long ago!

Webb Hubbell, no. Googling, wait for it. Jim McDougal. Small potatoes to the nonsense we have become with the trillions in tarp and bail out funds sent to God only knows where.

What I wouldn't give to go back to those halcyon days when the talk was of presidential peccadilloes and not the current presidential racketeering and a wholesale fleecing of the American taxpayer. I am warming to Bill Clinton. Have I gotten soft in my old age?

No, the King is bad. We have a bad, bad, King.
