Considering what a punchline Lieberman’s 2004 tagline “Joe-mentum” has become, it’s puzzling why the Romney campaign would use a similar mash up of “Mitt” and “momentum” in this fundraising ask on the Romney blog Five Brothers:
While my Dad and our entire family are thrilled that momentum is on our side, we know that change happens fast in campaigns and you can never rest on your laurels. At this critical time, we need all the support we can get to ride the “Mitt-mentum” all the way to the White House.
The fact is, while Lieberman used the line to try to artificially generate momentum where there was none, the Romney camp can legitimately claim some big Mo. There’s an internal poll that shows Romney 17 points ahead in Iowa and a new Mason Dixon Poll that shows him 11 points up in New Hampshire. So you gotta wonder why they’d encourage the association with Lieberman’s dud of a campaign.

I hope he wins the nomination ands picks Holy Joe as his running mate.
Something to say?
This, of course, came from an e-mail where a supporters have the chance to win two tickets to a baseball game with Mitt’s son, Tagg.
