All I'm gonna say is: 2004 Boston Red Sox. You remember in Game 3--in Boston--the Yankees won 19-8!! It was ALL OVER, and there was NO HOPE. And then...
I agree that tonights debate is huge, but I am worried. Mitt will need to be tough and go after McCain. And, I think that Mitt is too nice a guy to do it. Plus, he will be getting tagged teamed with Huckabee. Mitt must be strong and speak about not only his plans and the future, but show McCain's liberal policies.
If Huckabee blocks for McCain tonight, then Romney should call him out on it. He should say something like "I am running for president, not for vp."
Secondly, if McCain rattles off 8 names that have endorsed him when he gets asked an economics question, Romney should call him out on it. Romeny has plenty of endorsements as well but he does not spend 3/4 of the debate naming them as does McCain.
Romney should stick to the line about being in a Washington committee does not give you the right to say you are well versed in the economy.
Romney should spend time on the issues McCain hates talking about.
1. The economy 2. Immigration 3. Flip flopping on tax cuts 4. McCain/Feingold, McCain/Lieberman
Romeny has to hit a hr tonight. He has to be Kirk Gibson in the 1988 World Series. He is wounded but still has to come up big.
PART 1: Event preparations and a special message from Mitt. Behind the scenes in Boston. $6.5 million is nothing to scoff at! Get the inside baseball scoop on the event from last week:
I had a chance to sit down with Eric Fehrnstrom, communications director for Mitt Romney. We discussed the event today, the blogosphere and other interesting tidbits.
***update***Welcome Eyeon08'ers. Obvioously these pics were taken before the event started.
I've been to numerous corporate events, flashy screens, big lights, lots of noise... but I've never encountered anything like this for a political fundraiser!
Dozens upon dozens of computers lined up ready to crank up the phone calls and make a huge impact on the world!
The countdown begins! I've arrived in Boston with an hour to spare (before dinner) and before the big event tomorrow.
Full disclosure here: I've been a Romney fan since diapers, literally!
I was born in Boston in 1971 while my father attended school here. The Romney's were in our local church parish. I understand he babysat me once.
Full disclosure #2: Since that time I have never met the Governor until last October at the NRO bash in DC. We happened to run into each other and I mentioned my name. He immediately placed me back in Boston 35 years earlier.
Others have commented on his razor sharp wit but that sharpness spills over into memory in a very cognitive way. You make friends very quickly if you remember their names.
