Scott Brown: Mitt Romney Showed us The Path To Victory

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This post is a very welcome addition to the post I did a few days ago regarding the article from The Daily Beast detailing how Mitt Romney played a role in Scott Brown’s victory.  What I didn’t have at the time of that earlier post is the video or quote from Senator Elect Scott Brown thanking Mitt Romney for “being there from the beginning, and helped show us the way to victory.”

Mitt Romney and Scott Brown 2012

Here is the quote:

“I’m grateful to all those from across Massachusetts who came through for me even when I was a long shot. I especially thank a friend who was there with encouragement from the very beginning, and helped show us the way to victory – former Governor Mitt Romney.”

This is of course very contrary to what some of the wanna-be political analysts over at Race42012 have spouted out about how Romney was absent during the whole Scott Brown process.  One particular “commenter” who goes by the name of “Flip Dixon”(it is a mystery to me that they haven’t banned her from their site, along with some of their registered contributors), and who’s personality and attitude parallel that of Keith “The Viper” olbermann’s, suggested that Mitt Romney was absent during the Scott Brown campaign because the people of Massachusetts don’t like him.

If anyone on Race42012 is reading this, BAN THAT KEITH OLBERMANN WANNA-BE FROM YOUR SITE!  That is, of course, if you desire to avoid becoming a riff-raff site like Free Republic has become.  You keep letting these nasty characters spew their ignorance on your site, the less credible you will become.  I will praise you for having writers such as Nate Gunderson, Mark B. Lowe, Kristopher Lorelli, and others who avoid negativity when it comes to other GOP candidates.

I would tell them that if they want to act like Democrats in how they treat their own, they can go join the Democrat’s site’s and spew their filth over there.  By the way, Alex Knepper has come a long ways.  Kudos to him!

All of us in the GOP need to quit breaking Reagan’s 11th commandment of talking bad about other GOP candidates.  I have not done the best at that, as I do get defensive when Mitt is unjustly attack, but I will work on it.

Here is the video of Brown’s victory speech.  About the 12:20 minute mark is when Brown thanks Mitt Romney for the help on his campaign:

Karl Rove: Scott Brown Will Win by 3-6 Points

Karl Rove is predicting that Scott Brown will win the Massachusetts Senate race by 3-6 points.  I hope it is more than that!  I hope that the citizens of Massachusetts send a very strong message to Washington that it is time to “shape up or ship out.”  It is not likely that they will shape up, so the GOP’s chances this year, as well as winning The White House in 2012, are lot more likely.

Gallup predicts if 2010 midterms were held today, Republicans would win

Democrats and Republicans are neck-and-neck in generic balloting for the 2010 elections, a sign that all the prognostications of a tough midterm battle are correct.

Democrats retain a 46 percent to 44 percent lead over the GOP among registered voters, when asked which party they’ll vote for in the 2010 congressional races, according to a new survey from Gallup. That’s closer than it’s been, for the most part, since Democrats took control of Congress in 2006, except for moments of party parity in late 2006 and just after the Republican National Convention in September ‘08.

But Gallup actually predicts that, if the elections were held today, Republicans would come out on top–something House Minority Whip Eric Cantor predicted not too long ago.

PJTV: The Power & Danger of Iconography

This video is very informative, scary, and at the same time encouraging.  It is also factual, I believe, in the world of marketing and subliminal messaging.  The Republican party needs to find a better way to market itself if it intends on winning over the minds of people.  Sad as it may be, substance alone is not enough.

My father in law recently counselled me to take an image of the site and telling me “remember who your customer is.”  Republicans have to come up with a more genius way of presenting out message other than shouting against, against.  I believe Mitt Romney has the ability to market himself well.  The look of his website in 2008 was great.

I would like to here your thoughts on this.
