Mittster seeks rebound in New Hampshire.


TPM:


Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney reached into the sports metaphor closet Friday as he sought to give perspective to an Iowa caucus loss that put added pressure on him to win next week's New Hampshire primary.

"This is still a nice, long process here," he told about 150 campaign workers who defied frigid temperatures and the 3 a.m. hour to greet his plane as it returned from the Midwest. "We've had, if you will, the first inning of a game that has, let's say, 50 innings in it."
More on the story.

On a side note: Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Vice President Cheney aren't the only well-known politicos who are distantly related. The Washington Post reveals that former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is also ninth cousins with President Bush, and the 10th cousin once removed to his rival, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

Mitt is now an open Bush supporter and hopes to ride that wave. I wonder what funny family stories Mitt will tell next. There's always Thomas Jefferson to claim as a relative it could help. I noticed Marie Osmond did a no show for brother Mitt. So much for Mormon loyalty.

Bush is sitting back drinking just hoping the Media doesn't pay attention to his crimes so the Supreme Leader can continue the crime wave.
