That other Romney pivot:
Everyone expects Mitt Romney to pivot back to the center -- that's what all candidates do when their campaigns move from the primaries to general election mode. But Republicans want Romney to do another pivot -- from negative to positive. Is Romney capable of talking about himself in a way that inspires American voters? So far we haven't heard it. He's framing himself as 'not Obama' but that might not be enough to appeal to a broader swath of the country.
Newt is moot: We already knew it but the former Speaker is giving up his delusion of a brokered convention in which he could emerge as the Republican nominee. He told Romney he's quitting the race -- but not before one more week of living the good life of a candidate.
Fast forward to 2016 -- will the Democratic race come down to Hillary Clinton vs. Andrew Cuomo? Politico and the New York Times both write about it today, after Cuomo says such talk is premature.

Chris, as a biographer of JFK, you probably know at least six members of JFK's Secret Service detail in Dallas were documented to have been in the company of strippers from Jack Ruby's Carousel Club at Fort Worth's Cellar Door Club (owned by Pat Kirkwood, an associate of Ruby's, who gave a filmed interview to Jack Anderson about the incident in 1988) drinking heavily until 5 AM on November 22, 1963. The most recent incident in Cartegena was not an isolated incident.
IT could be so Easy for Obama to FALL in the hands of A"political pretender"by starting using the word EXTREME on Romney#,Republican Party is Extreme,not Mitt#Let American people know that he favors the RICH,he disfavor the POOR,he is natural FAKE flip-flopper,and A NON-Loving"GREED parasite"on STRUGGLING working middle CLASS.@
Wish someone would put together a synopsis of Romney's remarks on China and other foreign policy. Below is just a small sample - no wonder he would want to farm out foreign policy.
“I got to go to the Olympic Games in China. It's pretty impressive over there how quickly they can build things, how productive they are as a society. You should see their airport compared to our airports, their highways, their train systems. They're moving quickly in part because the regulators see their job as encouraging private people. It's amazing. The head of Coca-Cola said the business environment is friendlier in China than in America. And that's because of the regulators. That's because of government.” Romney, Town Hall in Jackson MS
"the regulators" huh?
