Chris Christie was obviously wearing his; as was Robert McDonnell. The GOP is officially breathing again. It was a great day for Republicans yesterday. It happened exactly one year after we took our worst shellacking since the 1960’s. And, what did President Obama do while his party was getting whooped in two states which voted for him last year?

Romney was endorsed in the primary by Laura Ingraham, Rick Santorum, Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glenn beck, William Bennet, Dennis Prager, Robert Bork, Hugh Hewitt, and a ridiculous plethora of other trusted “conservatives.” In fact, Sean Hannity was even quoted saying, “And if you ask me who the conservative, the most conservative in the race is, that most re…

…ing his reign of terror in the early 50’s thousands of lives were ruined by his unsubstantiated statements branding half of Hollywood as communists. TV and movies were much more innocent and more unbelievable. And nobody but Robert Young and Hugh Beaumont ever wore a jacket and tie to dinner. “Swell” was the word of the decade and everyone was either clean shaven or just home from the beauty parlor.
