Gambler vs Slippery Dick

Romney screwed up in debate tonight by trying to force fellow candidate for president into $10,000 gambling wager over one of the presented issues. I don't think many people feel comfortable with the image of a big-time gambling president in charge of our money in the White House. Americans are looking for monetary common sense, fiscal conservatism, frugality, cut the waste, cut the spending, treat my tax money like royalty.

Romney also addressed sobriety and stability in defining why he is the best candidate for the Republicans. This comment was obviously a focusing point on Newt Gingrich's sordid past. When asked to describe how his childhood had influenced Gingrich as an adult, the speaker skipped over the issue and just mentioned his father was in the military and he moved around. Then, Gingrich referred to some of his shelter corporations which produce movies, books, and other things, headed, in name, by his wife and daughter.

Bachmann kept struggling for attention.

No real winners tonight. I would give negative points to Romney for gambling. I would give Gingrich the "Slippery Dick" award for skirting more interesting issues.

Brain out

Poor Governor Parry. He knew he wanted to fire all the people in the departments of education and commerce, but, try as he might, he could not remember that he wants to fire the people in the Dept. of Energy too. This was probably just a mind lapse due to the stress of the situation. But, if you are getting fired, you want the boss to have considered it hard and to know who you are and what you do. Republicans are starting to feel more confident in Romney.
