A Good Couple Days

I thought that Mitt Romney had an off night in the Republican debate, but apparently other viewers disagreed. The extent to which Romney was able to move voters in his direction was remarkable, and a very positive sign should he win the nomination.

Overall, it's been a great couple days for the Romney campaign. Given the way the McCain campaign has been crashing and burning, perhaps it's no shock that he will skip the Iowa straw poll -- but it's somewhat more surprising to hear that Rudy will do the same thing. Of course, the MSM can spin it as ensuring that the poll will be essentially meaningless -- but the truth is that the "meaning" is being fixed right now . . . there's only one candidate in the top tier who is prepared to compete everywhere, and that's Mitt Romney.

Oh yes, overall, a very good couple days for the Governor.
