The Daily Beast:

Not that anyone doubted Romney would win Nevada, what with the state's sizable Mormon contingent and his boffo showing there in 2008. Even so, the governor's team must be feeling pretty good with another win under its belt, especially as the heretofore frenetic cage match enters a bit of a lull.  Between now and the 10-state Super Tuesday voting extravaganza on March 6, Romney faces only a couple of friendly primaries, one debate, and next week's CPAC conference.

Bane Capital... Warning, Warning, DANGER!

IF ONLY Mitt Romney and Bain Capital had handled the GM and Chrysler bankruptcy, things would be very different in America today!

Dear Mrs. Romney,

Please take Mitt home. And please ask Callista to take Newt home too!

If it were a decision of his ego or the USA, he would throw the country under the bus.

The Mittens love to fire people. If he fired everybody who crossed him, the rate of unemployment would reach triple digits (an attempt at tongue-in cheek)!!.

If you're not really going to run the story, you should at east run the subtitle description:

"The GOP frontrunner apparently cut loose the man who whipped his debate skills into shape out of fear that he was being overshadowed. Michelle Cottle on how ego trumped strategy."

to at least explain what the story is about.

The main thing I noticed about the GOP candidates is that they all have more EGO than strategy.

They all have more ego than brains, heart, empathy, and critical thinking and discernment skills.
