So what exactly instigated this hypocritical behavior? Gingrich's biggest complaint is that Romney's attack ads -- funded by his unlimited PAC money -- are not fair.
Romney has retained his lead, but he failed the test -- a failure that may prove more significant in the general election than it will today.
Former White House press secretary turned campaign adviser Robert Gibbs called Romney a “political gymnast of the highest order.” “He will say virtually anything to get elected to any office,” Gibbs said on “Face the Nation.” “The one …

Saw this on Hardball this evening. I thought it was a pretty apt question. In fact, in my mind, it was more than just a question. It was more of an informed statement wrapped in the guise of a question.

Hiya Mike! I don't know why I didn't put you on my watchlist a long time ago. I would so much rather hang out with critical thinkers than these abject morons who care not if they rape, pillage and plunder the earth and their neighbor. Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up with here. Keep up the great work! There's much of it to do!

I know, right! Mike, any and everyone over the age of 18 has to get out there and vote on Nov. 4th as if their life depended on it (which it does) Just the thought of having another 4 years of McBush has me shivering in my shoes. Oh yeh, and he wants to bring the draft back. Will his daughter be forced to serve in the armed forces like my son would be. I think not!
You sure like Al! So do I. I always have. Even when he was running against Clinton, I preferred Al and Tipper.
