Flap put 2 and 2 together in May and speculated that Mitt Romney purchasing a home in La Jolla was more of a political move than a real estate deal.

While John McCain BBQ’s today at the family ranch in Sedona, Arizona and hosts among others Mitt Romney, it is “LEAKED” that Mitt Romney has purchased a home in La Jolla, California.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has reached a deal to buy a home in Southern California.

The unsuccessful Republican presidential contender is closing at the end of the month on a property in La Jolla, just north of San Diego, Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom confirmed Saturday.

While California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is term-limited and must leave office after 2010, the spokesman denied any political positioning. Romney finance chairwoman Meg Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay, is also reported to be considering her own campaign for California governor.

“Gov. Romney has been looking at property on the West Coast because he has family in California, and because his wife, Ann, spends a good deal of time there riding horses,” Fehrnstrom said.

One of Romney’s five sons, Matt, lives outside San Diego, while son Josh lives in Salt Lake City.

Well, since that time Mitt Romney was NOT selected by John McCain as his Vice Presidential running mate and according to fellow Ventura County blogger and Sacramento Bureau Chief of the Ventura County Star, Timm Herdt, has turned his political sights to Sacramento.

Although a Romney spokesman said at the time the purchase was based mainly on the family’s desire to spend more time closer to their horses that are boarded in Ventura County, Cole speculated that the former governor of Massachusetts might be thinking of becoming the future governor of California.

The speculation is becoming more intense. Over the last week I’ve heard it raised in Sacramento and from someone in Ventura County. The latter source claims to trace the rumor to eavesdropping by someone who works for the Romney family in a nonpolitical capacity.

The California Republican Party continues in decline under the “FAILED” leadership of SOMETIMES Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold’s post-partisan leadership style and his criticism of California Conservatives has led to a party in disarray. Moreover, Schwarzenegger’s governance of California and particularly its economy has lead to wildly unbalanced budgets and economic malaise in the Golden State.

So, in comes Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts Governor with astounding achievements in the business world and with running the Winter Olympics (saving it from ruin).

What better way to rehabilitate your failed Presidential bid by running and holding another executive political position in the nation’s most populous state? Does Mitt Romney remember that President Ronald Reagan was the former Governor of California?

What are Mitt Romney’s prospects?

Flap thinks very good - at least for the GOP nomination.

Romney has the money to self-fund his own primary campaign, is far more conservative than his opposition, California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner and has statewide name recognition. Plus, Romney and his Mormon (LDS) supporters have been very active in the California Proposition 8 (Protect Traditional Marriage Constitutional amendment) working with conservative Catholics and Evangelical Christians who comprise a goodly number of GOP primary voters and volunteers.

Now, Mitt Romney could decide to avoid a confrontation with Poizner and run in a “WALK” against California Senator Barbara Boxer in 2010, but, Flap doubts it. Flap bets that Meg Whitman, Mitt Romney’s chief Presidential fundraiser and billionaire former head of e-Bay will run against Boxer. Romney and Whitman will tag team the Democrats in 2010.

How positive is Flap?

Bet the farm…….

And, why would Team McCain allow this MORON on their airplanes?

Gosh is the MSM dense.

But, watch this video (if it stays up) and you can get an idea of Klein’s BIAS as stated in his own words.

Key Response from the McCain campaign:

Campaign spokesperson Michael Goldfarb responded that “we don’t allow Daily Kos diarists on board either.”

Hey,Joe stop your whining and when you want to “HIT” Mac or Palin book your own flight.

JERK……

Update:

Joe Klein whimpers and tries to justify his ban.

Democrat Senator and Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Colin Powell who endorsed Barack Obama Sunday agree that should Obama be elected President he will be immediately tested.

Joe Biden warned that America’s enemies would test Barack Obama with an international crisis within six months if he’s elected president - a shocking comment John McCain eagerly pounced on yesterday to claim Obama isn’t ready to be commander-in-chief.

“Mark my words,” Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night.

“It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.

“Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

“And he’s going to need help . . . to stand with him. Because it’s not going to be apparent initially; it’s not going to be apparent that we’re right.”

The audio and video of Powell and Biden is here and below:

The John McCain response:

“The next president won’t have time to get used to the office. We face many challenges here at home and many enemies abroad in this dangerous world,” McCain said. “We don’t want a president who invites ‘testing’ from the world at a time when our economy is in crisis and Americans are already fighting two wars.”

McCain said it was even “more troubling” that Biden suggested supporters stick by Obama if the actions he takes are wrong or unpopular.

“Senator Obama won’t have the right response, and we know that because we’ve seen the wrong response from him over and over during this campaign,” he said.

Now, even former Clinton Administration Secretary of State Madeleine Albright agrees: it is a ’statement of fact’ that terrorists will test Sen. Obama within first six months of his presidency.

The video:

Is Obama experienced and prepared to be President?

Who do American voters want answering that 3 AM call in the White House?

John McCain…….

Looks like Rudy will have a clear field against default New York Governor David Paterson particularly if New York City Mayor Bloomberg succeeds in his bid to change the NYC Charter and runs for a third.

Mayor Bloomberg’s bombshell decision to seek a third term in office may lead to a furious battle with his predecessor and sometime antagonist, Rudy Giuliani, according to an intriguing scenario being discussed in high-level political circles.

The first part of the scenario is widely accepted: that if Bloomberg, who has flirted with running for governor, changes the City Charter and wins a third term, Gov. Paterson is certain to run for election in 2010.

Sources close to Paterson said the governor would likely have bowed out of the race if the popular Bloomberg had decided to run for governor.

The second part involves Giuliani’s not very-well-disguised interest in becoming the Republican candidate for governor in two years - and recent polls suggest the failed presidential contender would have a good chance of defeating Paterson.

This is providing John McCain does NOT ask Rudy to be his Attorney General of the United States. Notwithstanding, Flap looks forward to many Rudy vs. Bloomberg fights in the coming years.

Stay tuned…..

Remember last week when Democrat Congressman John Murtha called Western Pennyslivania voters racist? Then he apologized which was no great surprise.

But, there is more.

Congressman Murtha is now calling the Pennsylvania voters who put him in office “REDNECKS.”

U.S. Rep. John Murtha is calling many of the people who put him in office “rednecks.”

The news comes one week after Murtha claimed the area is racist, then apologized for that comment.

In explaining his comments about racism, Murtha told WTAE it’s difficult for many in the area to change. Murtha said that just five to 10 years ago the entire area was “redneck.”

Key graph:

“What I said, that indicted everybody, that’s not what I meant at all. What I mean is there’s still folks that have a problem voting for someone because they are black,” Murtha said.

As Murtha opens his mouth more foot goes into the crevice.

Nothing like insulting your voters right before an election.
