Doug Mataconis held a B.A. in Political Science from Rutgers University and J.D. from George Mason University School of Law. He joined the staff of OTB in May 2010 and contributed a staggering 16,483 posts before his retirement in January 2020. He passed far too young in July 2021.
in 2008, poll-wise, Romney looked like Gingrich and McCain looked a lot more like Romney today. Then McCain had to make sure that the Republican base would turn out and vote for him.
Considering Romney’s ceiling in the primaries he will have to work even harder to appease the base. I doubt that will work well for his support among independents and moderate Republicans.
I’m with Newt. Don’t pass these on.

It would be really funny if Newt picks say Sarah Palin to be his running mate… =)
Another episode of Send in the Clowns heads for a quick cancellation…
