Romney scandal on the horizon?

Maybe. In an almost stream of consciousness sort of way, Right Wing News breaks the story.

Update #2: Another source of mine, which is not with the Huckabee campaign or the same campaign as my previous source, told me that they are hearing that the story is going to be that Romney was behind the "anti-Mormon" push polling that got so much attention in Iowa.

Intriguingly, these allegations were made previously and the Romney campaign strongly denied that they had anything to do with the polling.

Anything is possible in politics, and sometimes stories unexpectedly find a way to develop legs. My gut tells me that this one won't, though.

Romney response to McCain's wise-assed quip

I have been, and remain, lukewarm to Mitt Romney's presidential candidacy. His response to John McCain's response to his opposition (follow that?) of the immigration bill is sharp, though:

I guess it just shows that, even when he's wrong, he's amusing.

That one sentence is incredible. In it, Romney mute's McCain's comment about varmint guns. He also makes McCain look small for making the comment. Finally, he holds his ground respectably. One sentence does not a President make, but it was enough to make me at least consider Romney as potentially presidential. Still, Romney has a big weakness, and that is that he currently is as vulnerable to the flip-flop charge as John Kerry was in 2004.

Hunting Wabbits and Varmints

Shh! Mitt Romney Hunts Wabbits & Varmints

Sigh. Politicians should always be themselves. When they aren't, they're more unbelievable than usual. The Mitt Romney example:

"I'm not a big-game hunter. I've made that very clear," he said. "I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will. I began when I was 15 or so and I have hunted those kinds of varmints since then. More than two times."

Varmints, Mitt? Ya know, just admit that you aren't a hunter. It isn't going to reflect badly on you. But now not only do people question your conservatism, they're waiting for Bugs Bunny to get the better of you.
