Robo-Romney

Mitt Romney has been ridiculed for his willingness to say anything to get elected. He’s been mocked for his blow-dried appearance and demeanor, being called a game show host, used car salesman, etc. It’s been fun watching him continuously tweak his message as voters express their preferences. After Obama’s win in Iowa all we heard from Romney was the need for “change.”

Now we’re learning that much of what he says might not even be his own thoughts and words. Romney apparantly relies upon a Jack Bauer-type ear-piece to get prompts from his staff during appearances. Many are also speculating that he used such a device during the most recent GOP debate.

Democrats should be praying that he gets the nomination over John McCain. It will be so much fun to run against this guy.

Joe Klein on South Carolina

Joe Klein has followed the Clintons for years, so his take is interesting:

It may well be true that any Democrat is going to have to handle that sort of sewage in the general election, but I’ve now–belatedly!–figured out that the real audacity in Barack Obama’s campaign–far more than his positions on the issues, which almost seem an afterthought–is his outrageous belief that the entire country, not just Democrats, wants to see a straight up election; that the entire country is tired of the pestilence of tactical tricks that the Clintons learned from their co-dynasts, the Bushes. (The latest example being their sudden, sociopathic emphasis on the importance of the Florida primary, a contest all three candidates had agreed to eschew at the behest of the Democatic National Committee.)

It is a hell of a bet Obama has made. And nearly 40 years of political, uhm, experience tells me that it isn’t a very wise one…but I must also say that it is truly sad to see Bill and Hillary Clinton on the wrong side of it.

Caroline Kennedy endorses Obama

Many have compared Barack Obama to JFK and RFK regarding his ability to inspire Americans. Some have mocked this comparison, but Caroline Kennedy apparently agrees. She endorsed Senator Obama for President in an op-ed in the New York Times:

I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.
