I was hoping to sum up my experience here on MyManMitt, looking for a gentle denouement to a rapid fire campaign that is coming to a close for the candidacy of Mitt Romney… but I’m not ready to close shop yet!
What an amazing speech by Governor Palin last night. The reports coming in have left the MSM stunned and speechless. I can’t say enough about it… more on her speech and Mitt’s soon.
OK, the guy is not the nominee, he’s not VP and he is refusing to even take a cabinet position (good for him!) should McCain win, but the MSM assisnation squads are still working overtime to drag him down. The latest:
Boston Globe still trying to find any window in it’s use of the flip flopper label:
“Mitt Romney, responding to reporters’ questions about sex education policy in the aftermath of the news that Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter is pregnant, told reporters he had always thought abstinence should be part of a comprehensive sex education curriculum. …But in 2006, as then-Governor Romney prepared to enter the Republican presidential primary, he announced with great fanfare that he would redirect money from a federal abstinence education grant — money that had the state had been using to promote abstinence within comprehensive sex education programs and in PSA’s — into school programs that taught abstinence alone.
What’s really amazing about this is that Boston.com leaves Eric Fehnstrom’s clarifying quote for an update, happy to let an untrue article stand:
Eric Fehrnstrom says Romney’s position on sex education has never changed and that all of the schools in Massachusetts with abstinence-only programs, he said, also had comprehensive sex ed programs.
A lot of people talked about Mitt Romney filling out the Republican ticket this year, but, according to a former campaign adviser, Romney was actually betting against himself.
Ron Kaufman, a close friend of Romney’s who worked on his aborted presidential campaign, said there was a bet between the two of them over Romney’s chances of getting tapped as John McCain’s vice presidential nominee.
Kaufman bet the former governor would be on the ticket. Romney said he wouldn’t make it.
With Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska prepared to accept the nomination here this week, Kaufman said he is donating his stake to two charity events Romney is attending during the Republican National Convention.
The beneficiaries of the wager will be U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Erik Paulsen, who is running in Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District.

Some more-than-candid words from the former POTUS candidate Tom Toncredo in a recent interview:
[John] McCain had been farthest away. I remember thinking and saying to my wife, when this was all over with, I said, “Well, at least McCain is not going to make it.” And it’s just kind of strange. Because remember, he was like $25 million in debt. He was nowhere in the polls. So it really did look like he was out of it.
It was the Huckabee factor. [Former Arkansas] Governor [Mike] Huckabee decided to stay in even though he could not have won. He absolutely made a difference, and he knew it, and that difference was he was able to keep Mitt Romney out of the play by draining off conservative votes. And I think he did it to a large extent because Mitt is a Mormon. It was really to ruin Romney’s chances. So that created the pathway for Senator McCain.
