It was recently reported that Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, surged ahead of the Republican pack in Iowa polling following the second Republican presidential debate in South Carolina.
Perhaps feeling the pressure to throw an elbow at Romney as he surges ahead, Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) took aim at the one-term Republican governor on a blogger conference call today.
On a blogger conference call just now, McCain fired the first shot in what is sure to be a series of ongoing frontal assaults on Mitt Romney. According to someone on the call, in response to a question about Romney’s immigration position, McCain said he’d “wait a couple of weeks and see if the winds change and Mitt comes back around” to his side, and, he said, musing about why Romney seems so touchy on the issue, “Maybe Mitt should get out his small varmint gun and chase those Guatemalans off his yard.”
Classy.
Pure red meat for the William “Bill The Butcher” Cutting-wing of the Republican Party.
Something to say?
