'Romney wants GOP voters to be more rational'

Romney’s camp warns Republicans that Rick and Newt are making the GOP look bad. It’s a tactical message—and hardly inspiring.
... The GOP convention is supposed to be four days of purposeful choreography highlighting the array of Republican wonders and Barack Obama’s many shortcomings. What people will see instead is a food fight. Stop it now, before it’s too late!
... "If the Republican convention is a mish mash of conspiracy theories and backroom dealings and competition back and forth, and we wake up the morning after we've nominated a candidate and then have to start the campaign against Obama, we're going to start out in a deep, deep hole," said Romney backer and former Congressman Vin Weber in an interview I did with him for CBS’s Face to Face.
... Santorum isn’t even running a real campaign, Romney’s allies insist. He’s just a man with a suitcase. (He can’t even afford sleeves for his sweaters!) “This election is going to be about competence and the ability to do the job rather than hire an entertainer or whatever,” said New York Jets owner Woody Johnson at a Romney fundraiser Wednesday. Webber said something similar: “He’s a candidate running from state to state trying to make this emotional appeal, and it's working with some people. It certainly will not beat President Obama in the fall."

Mitt's strategists obviously believe there is a growing chance of a brokered convention. Now is the time to get real. It's time to buy some sleeves for those sweaters Rick! Wake up, it's no faery tale, it's a nightmare.
