It almost sounds like repeat lyrics of a Top 40 song that Mitt Romney hates.
Romney has momentum — a chance to finally beat expectations only to fall short in the end — and never closes the deal.
Sound familiar?
If Romney had only pulled off Alabama or Mississippi, it would be a different narrative today. It would go like this: Organization matters, the Republican primary is over and Romney can start this general election battle with President Obama.
Romney grabbed easy Super Tuesday wins in his home state of Massachusetts and nearby Vermont, and put a huge score of delegates from his Virginia victory on his scorecard — where neither Rick Santorum nor Newt Gingrich made the ballot.
Perhaps Kid Rock's 11th hour performance was the lucky charm, and Romney should take the show on the road.
It wasn't the rout that was expected weeks ago, but for the relieved Romney a win is a win.
Residents of New York State have always taken pride in their history. The glory days of being America's leader of many industries.
And some of us say Bravo to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for daring to return to those glory days.
You have to give Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo credit.
With great interest it's noted, Cornell West and Tavis Smiley challenge President Obama at every turn.
Notice the other night how Bill O'Reilly treated them, even openly talking down to them. But hey, it doesn't matter to West/Smiley, as long as they are the ones in the media spotlight.
I will say it. Both of them need to go somewhere and sit down, and pimp other issues, not the President of the United States.
It's amazing the tone West and Smiley use for President Obama, and how they were put in their place by O'Reilly.
