From NBC’s Ron AllenWhen I offered congratulations to one of Mitt Romney's advisors after his Michigan victory, he said, "Yeah, about time?" He was joking and serious at the same time.

The democrats could care less about responsibilty and accountabilty. They didn't even bother to show in Michigan. Furthermore, the liberal media would have you believe that Romney was trailing to McCain and Huckabee even though he had 2 silvers. The fact of the matter is that numbers do not lie even though the media may twist and contort them. Romney has more of the popular vote collectively in all three primaries. He has a total of 44% of the votes, that is 80,000 more than runner-up McCain. He has 2 golds and 2 silvers now. Where was McCain in Iowa? In addition, Huckabee has 2 thirds in 3 finishes. Does that mean he has lost all chance of competing? Probably, but we still want to build up his chances of winning, don't we? Moreover, Romney now has more delegates after all 4 primaries than any other candidate. He is not only surviving, he is winning and has tremendous momentum. These are the facts and the media would like to manipulate the results. Why? Because they know that Romney has the best chance against the democrats come November. So the media needs to let the facts speak for themselves and stop giving the public the appearance that conservatism is weak and troubled when actually it is alive and doing better than the opponent. Especially, Mr. Romney. Go Mitt!</description></item><item><title>What a Difference a Win Makes</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/16/581639.aspx#582367</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:10:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:582367</guid><dc:creator>Kira, Utah</dc:creator><description>Steve and jbec- I agree completely. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;TJM- who's harrassing Huck? &amp;nbsp;He's the one that brings up religion as often as he can. Romney is a religious guy and talks about faith occasionally, but he isn't cramming it down our throats. &amp;nbsp;Compare their speeches. &amp;nbsp;Romney's talk about far more substantive issues. &amp;nbsp;Huckabee chose to be the &amp;quot;religious&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;authentic Christian&amp;quot; candidate. &amp;nbsp;Now he'll have to live with the consequences, good or bad. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>What a Difference a Win Makes</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/16/581639.aspx#582449</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:43:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:582449</guid><dc:creator>Lee, LB, England</dc:creator><description>TJM, you ask what is the difference between Huckabee being a pastor and Romney being a bishop. One big difference: Huckabee tries to score political points from it. Romney is simply a better man than he would have been: giving ecclesiastical service without pay, but also making no fanfare about it at all. </description></item><item><title>What a Difference a Win Makes</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/16/581639.aspx#582458</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:46:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:582458</guid><dc:creator>Mark R.
