The photo montage is from a Gabriel Sherman piece in New York Magazine profiling 100 Iowa and New Hampshire Republicans, most of whom are looking for a "strongman."  Scary.

Mittens Mo

With millionaire vulture capitalist Willard "Mittens" Romney's win last night in New Hampshire, the fractured right-wing of the Rethuglican Party is scrambling to unite behind one candidate in order to stop Mittens' momentum. While his victory in New Hampshire is being touted as "decisive," Mittens' virtual favorite-son status in New Hampshire should have given him more than the 39% of the votes he received. He's still not acceptable to some 60% of Rethuglican voters -- even in a state like New Hampshire, where he's lived off-and-on for years.

The Washington Monthly has a good piece on the decision the anti-Mittens forces need to make, and soon, before Mittens runs the table. If there were one, credible right-wing alternative to Mittens, he would have been blown away in Iowa and New Hampshire. Now, South Carolina is shaping up to be the last stand for Rethugs who can't swallow the smarmy plutocrat from Massachusetts.

On to New Hampshire!

Eugene Robinson in today's Kaplan Daily:

"Mitt Romney and his backers decided that, to win in Iowa, they had to destroy Newt Gingrich’s campaign. Now Gingrich looks eager — and able — to return the favor.

"Romney got his victory, but it doesn’t feel much like one. It’s embarrassing that the supposed Republican front-runner managed to beat Rick Santorum by only eight votes out of about 120,000 cast in Tuesday’s caucuses. It’s troubling that Romney has spent the past five years campaigning in Iowa and could still draw just one-quarter of the vote.

"And it’s downright ominous that Gingrich is threatening to do whatever he can to block Romney’s path to the nomination. If the sneering description of Romney in Gingrich’s post-caucus speech Tuesday is a preview — a 'Massachusetts moderate' who is “pretty good at managing the decay” — this could get ugly."

It doesn't get much better than this.
