I’ll take “clinical optimism” over a condition of “critical pessimism” any day!!!

His comment that every child deserves a mother and father is the code the wedgies use to say it’s wrong for children to be raised by two gay parents. He could have become the ideal GOP candidate had he stuck to the principles upon which he was elected governor in a Democratic state. Instead, he repudiated all the earlier “pro liberty” positions he took. He’s proven to be quite a phony.

Gary: I didn’t ask about Rokita. After the Black Caucus accepted his apology I made the editorial decision that the story was over.

Wilson: I didn’t look to count the number of black people in the audience of more than 700. It was a dark room.

Anon 12:26: His speech was optimistic, but I’ve done enough public speaking, acting and stand-up comedy to be able to tell when something comes across as almost too perfect in delivery. Thus, the clinical optimism.

Mitt Romney’s entire speech was optimistic about America’s future and covered many different issues including pointing out the necessity of winning the war against militant Islamic Jahadists. He made a point to say the “jury is still out” on the success of this stage of the conflict in Iraq, and certainly was not going to let a journalist goat him into anything hinting at defeatism.

Additionally, his extended comments regarding “every child needing a mother and father” clearly were tied to his support of being married before you have children and strong family values.

Lastly his small verbal gaff during an extended speech regarding “the poor not staying home to die” was a part of his reasoning that the uninsured healthcare problem is not going away and that it needs to be addressed.

Overall, I think he did a great job.

Another question: if you were at the big-ticket GOP Dinner itself: what percentage of the crowd were African-Americans? I’d be astonished if it were greater than 1% …

What did he have to say about Rokita in his press availability in light of the DNC press release yesterday?

Another DefeatoPublican! Doesn’t he know that it’ll take another ten years, many billions of dollars and thousands more American lives before George Bush’s “Victory in Iraq” can be assured?

Has he no patience? Doesn’t he know that Islamo-Fascist-Iraqis are just waiting to swim over and blow up the Mormon Temple in Utah?

BTW, good and timely reporting!
