Now, you don’t see this everyday…
CNN nightly host Piers Morgan penned a pro-Romney piece at the Mail Online today.

Via Breitbart:
An extraordinary political earthquake struck America this week. Mitt Romney, widely assumed to be the ‘best of a weak bunch’ of Republican candidates, suddenly overtook Barack Obama in election polls.
Remarkably for someone with a reputation as Mr Dullard, it was his brilliant performance on October 3 at the first of three presidential debates, where he scored the biggest win ever over an oddly downcast Obama, that propelled him into the favourite’s chair…
…how much does Romney’s flip-flopping actually matter to the result of the election? The main concern for Americans right now is the economy, after all. I asked Bill Clinton recently if he felt Romney was a ‘principled man’ and Clinton smiled: ‘That’s not the issue to me.’
And I suspect it’s not for most voters either. They just want to know which man, Romney or Obama, is going to revive the economy faster.
Obama is not a hated figure among most Americans by any means, which is why he may still scrape home. But there’s definitely a distinct disillusionment about his performance, even among many of his diehard supporters.
The great messianic tidal wave of optimism Obama swept in on has been replaced by harsh reality.
He promised Americans tremendous ‘hope’ and ‘change’ and, frankly, they don’t feel he’s given them much hope, or changed very much…
Unemployment is still running at a scarily high 7.8 per cent, meaning 23 million Americans are out of work. Meanwhile, the country’s national debt has risen to a staggering $16 TRILLION, up $5 trillion from when Obama took over. Factor in a still severely deflated housing market, and petrol prices double what they were in 2008, and it all adds up to a pretty miserable economic picture.
That’s where Romney can win. His track record as a businessman is better than almost any presidential candidate ever. He also almost single-handedly turned round the fortunes of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002, after the organising committee turned to him desperate for help.
He sees America as a struggling company, and himself as therefore the perfect person to rescue it.

This election isn’t about electing Mitt Romney. It’s a referendum on Barack Obama and booting his tail as far from Pennsylvania Ave as American voters are able. November 2012 will be November 2010 all over again, but many orders of magnitude higher.

“Obama is not a hated figure among most Americans…”
Take a drive around the country, Piers. But be warned: You might not like what you find.

Saving America? It will be the people of this nation who will vote. Hopefully, things will go good with not many clinches. I feel it may be an uphill battle to change the direction we have been going and Obama has failed help in that respect.
There aren’t many capable people working with America’s best interest at heart in Obama’s cabinet and I know that the communication between Obama and his cabinet has been less than productive.
What stands out for me is that Romney is a business man who has had successes and he has proven himself more then capable of running America and if it takes a Businessman to accomplish this turning over a new leaf for our economy, Romney will give it his all.
He truly loves America and the reason he is running is, he just can’t allow this great nation to suffer another day. So, Save America, Romney knows it takes all AMERICA to Save this great nation. Loopholes and deductions for the rich must be eliminated and lowering taxes on the middle class and then American spends more and progress. And giving more decisions to the states. Government is too big and Romney knows this.

RE: Piers Morgan, wouldn’t it be great if he could be believed, as sincere?

You know, if Morgan could get just 2 Republicans to watch his show, he could double his ratings.

I was very pleased and surprised to hear Pier’s comments. I just started listening Pier’s show and I was intriqued his take on a number of subjects. For a moment, I wanted to learn some one who was interviewed after the previous Governor from California. I just came upon his comments. From the look of the comments by other people, they also agreed. I will listen again. I never listen to CNN.

CNN’s been down in the engine room running Obama’s ship along with the rest of the media. Maybe they’ve figured out when a ship sinks the engine room gets flooded first.

DOOM ANTIDOTE: Democrats losing badly even in gerrymandered Illinois districts — http://hillbuzz.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/jobstopper-1.jpg?cda6c1 VIEW IMAGE HERE
Speaking of seeing things…yesterday you might have missed an article by Mike Flynn over at Breitbart.com that dealt with Democrats’ disaster in Illinois regarding their redistricting schemes. Read the whole thing, but the takeaway is that Democrats had the power in this state to redistrict however they wanted and to essentially carve up the Congressional races this year to their maximum advantage. When doing this, they assumed that everything Minitru said about Obama and the 2008 race was true and that his election was “a transformational one” that would lead to “permanent Democrat majorities” for years to come. The plan was to redistrict Illinois so that Democrats would pick up 5 or 6 new seats in the state and this would be part of how Democrats “took back the House”. Instead, the way the 2012 election is playing out, Democrats will pick up ZERO seats in Illinois because 2008 was a fluke and not a transformational election at all.
You kind of need to go with your gut here for a minute and please let me know in comments if you can’t see this instinctively on your own…but this is a harbinger of massive destruction for Democrats in the November election if all their plans for picking up seats in Illinois’ Congressional races have collapsed. This means Democrats grossly overestimated their level of support in this country and they believed their own 2008 hype. THAT means that 2008 really was a fluke and a fad and Democrats foolishly believed that all the mass-hysteria in support of Obama the candidate was some sort of permanent love affair the American people were strangely also having with the same Democrat agenda of “transformation” for this country that voters had rejected for decades.
